Legizmo lets iOS 13 jailbreakers install watchOS 7 on their Apple Watch

Enter Legizmo, a new development that was created to allow jailbreakers to update their Apple Watch firmware without upgrading the firmware of their jailbroken iPhone. For example, someone with a jailbroken iOS 13 iPhone should now be able to install and use watchOS 7 without a hitch, something that Apple normally blocks via the Watch app until the iPhone gets updated first.
