How to Free Up Storage on Apple Watch – Guide
The Apple Watch doesn’t have a lot of storage space, depending on the model. The Series 6, 5 and SE offer 32GB of storage, but only 16GB on the Series 4, 16GB for the Series 3 GPS + Cellular model, and only 8GB for the Series 3 GPS model. Depending on your watch and the amount of content downloaded or synced, you could easily run out of space before you know it. But your watch can tell you how much space you have available. It can also show you how much space is used by specific apps and content so you know what to do when it’s running for free.
How much space?

- Click on the “Usage” tab
- Scroll down to find the “Apple Watch” section
- Click on the “Details” button to see how much storage space is used by each app and file type
