I genuinely didn’t know it was so low on many devices. I have an Apple Watch Series 6, I got it primarily for sleep tracking back when I was burning out without realising it (I thought I just sucked at sleeping). It has 32gb, and Apple tends to really lag behind in giving their devices decent storage. Like if you want an Apple device be ready to either be content with rubbish storage, or pay 50% extra for slightly-less-rubbish. It’s an absolute scam.
All in all I do like my watch, but honestly I could totally live without it too. I mostly use it for tracking fitness and setting timers, as well as the occasional “disconnected” stroll.
Yeah from my research it looks like the largest size you can find on a watch is 32GB. I noted that Apple was one of the brands with 32GB and it did surprise me as well.
But my current Spotify downloads total 20GB and I only wanted to wear it while trying to work out so I decided against it anyway. I wouldn’t want to wear it to work because I work in a gross environment. And so I don’t really have a need for it.
Well not really. I wanted it specifically for listening to offline Spotify music while working out. On my phone, I’m using a couch to 5K app which tells me when to walk vs run. And my phone has a pedometer that counts my steps. Can’t really do that with a basic mp3 player. And I wanted to use a watch instead of my phone so I don’t have to deal with holding my phone or anything while running. Plus I specifically wanted Spotify offline play, which not every basic device can do.
I ended up just buying a belt to hold my phone and keys while running.

It sounds to me like you just need a good old fashioned MP3 player. Are those still around?

Ah yeah, so the fitness tracking stuff too. Well, maybe in the long run we’ll see more storage!
