These modern smartwatches are in their last year of updates

Apple Watch Series 6, 7, 8, SE 2nd gen, and first-gen Ultra; Google Pixel Watch 2 (support through October 2026); and Samsung Galaxy Watch 4/4 Classic and Watch 5/5 Pro will stop receiving OS updates and security patches after 2026, retaining only basic step tracking and notifications, which may affect contactless payments and health-data security.
