Your Apple Watch will work the same as it does now, but it won't be able to be updated beyond whatever the last update is for WatchOS 11, which is the current Watch version.
The watch is updated through the phone so if the phone only supports iOS 18, which of course is not for certain yet, then the watch would not update to WatchOS 12, assuming Apple keeps their usual names, etc. HTH, Richard, USA, "When you come to the edge of all the light you know and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing one of two things will happen: there will be something solid to stand on or you will be taught how to fly." -- Barbara J.

My problem is not about IOS 19 but my actual question is if we assume that there wil be an IOS19 and my iPhone 11 can not be upgraded any further, will my Apple Watch S9 become unusable due to further lack of upgrades of the software on the iPhone 11?

If I understand Apple's software upgrade cycle correctly I think this coming September with IOS 19 will be my last upgrade for the iPhone 11. Furthermore I am worried that, should I not go for the iPhone 16E in the near future my Apple Watch S9 will also stop to function due to the fact that I would not be able to upgrade the iPhone 11 any further. Are these assumptions valid because spending that money was not part of my financial planning but if my S9 would become unusable I'll rather solve the problem now.
