Apple Watch Series 9 and Ultra 2 Offer Double Storage Capacity of Series 8 With 64GB
During its Wonderlust event, Apple introduced the Apple Watch Series 9 and the Apple Watch Ultra 2. While both watches offer numerous updates over their predecessors, these updates seem largely iterative compared to the previous generation.
However, the watches offer better specifications compared to the previous generation. Apple is now offering more storage capacity on its Apple Watches – 64GB compared to 32GB on last year’s Apple Watch Series 8. The specifications listed on Apple’s website confirm this information. One direct benefit of this update – we believe – could be the ability to install more apps, store more music offline, and make it easier to update your watch.

In WatchOS 10, which enables several new features, such as the new Smart Stack, new Compass waypoints and new Apple Maps features.
With these new watches, Apple has also decided to stop offering leather bands in favor of a carbon neutral watch and introduced a new material called “FineWoven”.
