Apple Releases watchOS 11.6.2 With an Important Fix

Apple today released watchOS 11.6.2 for the Apple Watch Series 6 through Series 10, Apple Watch SE 2, and Apple Watch Ultra and Ultra 2.

watchOS 11 Feature 2 1
"This update provides important bug fixes and is recommended for all users," says Apple.

watchOS 11.6.2 will only appear on Apple Watch models that have not already been updated to watchOS 26 or later. There are no specific details available yet beyond Apple's vague release notes, so it is unclear what exactly the update includes.

Update: Apple says watchOS 11.6.2 "addresses a cellular network issue for Series 6, Series 7, Series 8, Series 9, Series 10, SE 2, Ultra, and Ultra 2 when establishing a connection to emergency services in Australia."

hmm just checked and my Ultra 2 says I am up to date on 26.2.1. This might be a update for only certain regions
Why would you expect to get an watchOS 11 update if you are on 26?

I'm not seeing the update on my S8 Watch which is on 11.6.1 . I only have the option to update to 26.2.1, which I am not interested in for that watch.
