Recently, I just found out that the Series 2 was discontinued for the better purpose of the sales for Series 3 and I am curious to know whether Apple will still support Series 2 with update wise?
Pardon if this question does not belong in this sub topic (First time on the Discussion Page for Apple)
Apple Watch Series 2
Hi
Whilst Apple no longer sells new Apple Watch Series 2 models, there is no need for immediate concern. Apple now sells a newer model range instead.
Apple Watch Series 2 can be updated to the latest software version, watchOS 4.x The paired iPhone needs to be an iPhone 5s or newer model, running the latest version of iOS.
Apple Watch (1st generation) models - the original range - are also still currently supported and compatible with watchOS 4.x.
If you have not yet done so, follow the instructions here to update your devices, updating your iPhone first (and starting by making a backup of your iPhone):
Beyond that, I'm afraid that no-one here can tell you anything about Apple's unannounced plans. You are not talking to Apple here - this is a user-based technical support community.

Apple supports products for 5 years from the time of discontinuation (7 years in California). You'll be able to get updates and repairs during that time. Note that watchOS will not see any updates beyond important security-related fixes if you're using iPhone 5 (which does not support iOS 11 and updating Watch to the latest OS).
Will Series 2 still be supported by Apple? (Update wise)
