Performance and Software
Under the hood, the watch is powered by Apple's S2 chipset, built on a 16 nm process, and includes a dual-core 780 MHz Cortex-A7 CPU alongside a PowerVR G6200 GPU. These components provide smooth performance for everyday tasks and efficient handling of the watchOS 3.0 operating system, which is upgradable to watchOS 6.2.8. This allows users to take advantage of improved features and a broader app ecosystem over time. While the 512MB RAM might seem modest by today's standards, it was ample for running watchOS smoothly during its active period.
