Apple Watch Series 2 42mm Performance and Software

Performance and Software

Under the hood, the Apple Watch Series 2 is powered by the Apple S2 chipset, a 16 nm dual-core CPU clocked at 780 MHz paired with a PowerVR G6200 GPU. This combination allows for smooth performance across watchOS 3.0, which is upgradable to watchOS 6.2.8, providing users with a comprehensive suite of apps and features. Although the internal memory of 8GB and 512MB RAM might seem modest by today's standards, it was adequate at the time for running apps efficiently on this wearable platform.
