How to download an old version of an Apple Watch app?

I recently released a new version of my app, which requires watchOS 5. This prevents AW0 users from using it, but they can still use the previous version.

How can they download the previous version? With iPhone apps older versions are offered automatically because the App Store checks the iOS version against that required. However if iOS is capable of running the iPhone app then I am not sure how they can ask to download an older version of the app so that it will run on the older version of watchOS.

Does anyone know a way to do this?

I am in the same position as you and have an annoyed user. In my case, I upgraded to watchOS 9.0 to support SwiftUI widgets. Did you have any solution?

Thanks!
