I am still on iOS 17.7.2 on my iPhone 15 Pro. I want to wait a bit more before upgrading to 18.x.

I am trying to update my Apple Watch Series 6 from (I believe) 10.4 to 10.6.1. It keeps erroring out. IIRC the error message indicates that I need to update my iOS to the latest version, which I do not want to do yet as mentioned above.

Note that I am not trying to downgrade. I am merely trying to upgrade to the latest version of watchOS 10 since 11 is not supported on iOS 17.x.

Has anyone successfully done this? Or does Apple block any updates to the last minor revision to the last major watchOS version once the newest major iOS and watchOS updates are released?
