Performance and Software

Under the hood, the Apple Watch Series 1 houses an Apple S1P chipset with a dual-core 520 MHz Cortex-A7 CPU and PowerVR G6200 GPU. While this might seem modest by today's standards, this configuration provides smooth performance for basic tasks like notifications and fitness tracking. Initially launched with watchOS 3.0, the Series 1 can be upgraded to watchOS 6.2.8, offering a range of improved features, security updates, and access to the app ecosystem.
