The Apple Watch Series 2 38mm, released in 2016, offered a size variation for users who preferred a smaller watch face. While boasting the same core functionalities as the 42mm model, its specifications are significantly surpassed by smartwatches available today. Here’s a closer look at its features:

Display:

The Apple Watch Series 2 38mm featured a 1.5-inch Ion-X glass Retina display with a resolution of 272 x 340 pixels. This display provided good readability for notifications and basic watch functions. However, it lacked advancements found in later models, such as pressure touch for deeper interactions or the always-on mode for constant timekeeping.

Battery:

Apple claimed the Apple Watch Series 2 38mm could last up to 18 hours on a single charge with typical usage. This was a standard battery life for smartwatches at the time of launch. With less efficient processors compared to modern devices, it might not hold up as well for heavy users who rely on continuous features.

Storage:

Similar to the 42mm Series 2, the 38mm model came in two storage options: 8GB and 16GB. While these capacities seem limited by today’s standards, they were sufficient for the core functionalities offered in 2016, which mainly focused on basic fitness tracking and notifications.

Software:

The Apple Watch Series 2 38mm launched with watchOS 2 and likely received updates up to watchOS 3. The software experience offered basic fitness tracking functionalities like step counting, calorie tracking, and workout monitoring. It also displayed notifications, allowed music playback control, and provided core functionalities like the Activity app. Important to note, features introduced in later models, such as GPS, cellular connectivity, ECG, or fall detection, were not available in Series 2.

Connectivity:

The Apple Watch Series 2 38mm relied on Wi-Fi connectivity. This meant it required a nearby iPhone for internet access and features like receiving calls and texts. Cellular connectivity, a game-changer for later models, was not an option in Series 2.

Memory:

Apple doesn’t disclose the specific RAM capacity for any Apple Watch model. However, benchmarks and leaks suggest the Series 2 had a bump in RAM compared to the Series 1. This ensured adequate performance for running essential apps, navigating the watchOS interface, and basic fitness tracking functionalities on the smaller display.

 

The Apple Watch Series 2 38mm might be difficult to find new in 2024, and its features are significantly surpassed by later models. However, it serves as a reminder of the early advancements in smartwatch technology, offering a more compact design option for those who embraced wearables in the early days.
