Apple Watch 0 not installing apps

Sinds the last update to ios14 my Apple Watch 0 (model A1554) is not installing any app. The wheels keep spinning forever. No errors.

On the watch I do see the icon appear, but it is not complete. It is the ‘installing’ icon.

The connection is perfect. I get messages on it and the camera remote works too. There is 4.9G free of 5.6Gb.

I updated to the last available version for this watch (4.3.2 - 15U70). I completely re-installed my iPone 12 and watch. I tried everything I can find on the net. Nothing works.

My conclusion: Apple Watch 0 is no longer supported. That sucks. The watch still works perfectly. I don’t want to trash it.

So what is going on. Am I right that the watch is not supported anymore?

If it is still supported, how do I get it installing my app’s again?

please help.

I just got off the phone with apple care support. You are right, the Series 0 is now functionally obsolete except for the pre-loaded/original apps.

Because the apps are now created to run on Watch OS 7, they are incompatible for OS 4.3.2, so it is now impossible for them to load on our Series 0 apple watches. Coincidentally, I realized the issue with my Hole 19 app too...

My watch works perfectly too. I am peeved.
