An interesting buy overlooked aspect of purchasing an Apple Watch is the storage capacity. Of course, for the average user, a few apps will be sufficient, and most won’t notice or ever worry about the capacity. But what about pro users?
Here is a detailed timeline of the Apple Watch storage capacity, since the original 2015 Apple Watch Series 0:
- Apple Watch (original) : 8 GB.
- Apple Watch Series 1 : 8 GB.
- Apple Watch Series 2 : 8 GB.
- Apple Watch Series 3 : 8 GB (GPS) or 16 GB (GPS + Cellular).
- Apple Watch Series 4 : 16 GB.
- Apple Watch SE : 32 GB.
- Apple Watch Series 5 : 32 GB.
- Apple Watch Series 6 : 32 GB.
- Apple Watch Series 7 : 32 GB.
We also know the different ram capacities since the original Apple Watch:
- Apple Watch (original) : 512 MB DRAM.
- Apple Watch Series 1 : 512 MB DRAM.
- Apple Watch Series 2 : 512 MB DRAM.
- Apple Watch Series 3 : 768 MB DRAM.
- Apple Watch Series 4 : 1 GB DRAM.
- Apple Watch Series 5 : 1 GB DRAM.
- Apple Watch SE : 1 GB DRAM.
- Apple Watch Series 6 : 1 GB DRAM.
- Apple Watch Series 7 : 1 GB DRAM.
Between storage and ram, you’ll probably wish the Apple Watch had more Ram than storage. Of course, for more intensive users who keep many songs and albums on their Apple Watch, a 64gb model could be interesting (Apple Watch Series 8 Pro?!). We expect Apple to introduce 2gb ram with either the Series 8 or Series 9. The global chip shortage could come into play for this decision.
How many GB do you have free on your Apple Watch?
