Exactly. What I want is only security updates and no feature updates unless I explicitly consent. It's simply in vogue for designers to redesign the software interface every once a while and they invariably fuck up niche use cases.

The recent watchOS update from Apple is incredibly disappointing https://furbo.org/2023/09/28/the-timer-in-watchos-10/

Yeah I stopped wearing my watch almost instantly. It’s a shit show. It was terrible for activity tracking already. So many malfunctions and fuckups when doing hike tracking in the last year I went back to an ass end Garmin eTrex.
