“The original Apple Watch won’t get watchOS 5’s fancy new features”

Ah, that’s too bad. That said, I almost broke down and bought the Series 3 when it debuted—I love the white ceramic model—but thought that I’d wait another generation since my “Series 0” is still working fine. This update sounds great, so I’ll likely upgrade when the inevitable Series 4 (or whatever they call it) debuts later this year.
