I mean, seriously, WTF are you supposed to use all that storage for? Apps? You could probably cram hundreds of apps onto that thing and STILL have a bunch if space left over. For what?Nope not true. Music is only 700 mb on my ultra. 24 gb free space. 🤦♂️ I hate how Apple has gimp off line music.
I know right. why can't we fill the free space up to 25gb. It's so wacky. They don't want it to work properly in preference to Apple Music subscription.I mean, seriously, WTF are you supposed to use all that storage for? Apps?

...but you can store up to 8GB so you are nowhere near the limit.Nope not true. Music is only 700 mb on my ultra. 24 gb free space. 🤦♂️ I hate how Apple has gimp off line music.
Series 3? Yeah, that was ridiculous. It would download the update, filling the storage, and then not have enough free space to actually install the update. You had to unpair/repair the watch, which makes the update take 3-4x as long to complete. I'm not sure if I've ever had a more significant upgrade of a product as when I went from an S3 to an S6.My previous watch only had 8 GB, and most of it was occupied by a system update of some sort. Current one is 64 GB, really hope I can fill it with music.
honestly the Apple Watch music storage is so buggy. Most of my playlist don't sync and certain songs get errors but plays fine on iPhone and Mac. It's not worth my time to solve it. At least podcast app actually works!...but you can store up to 8GB so you are nowhere near the limit.
It seems to me that you never even tried to reach the supposed limit of 8 GB. So how can you say „not true“??Nope not true. Music is only 700 mb on my ultra. 24 gb free space. 🤦♂️ I hate how Apple has gimp off line music.
Apple does not force you to use Apple Music.Does Apple force us to use Apple Music subscription? Indeed.
Does Apple give a flyin' either we like it or not? Sure it does.
To be fair though: How does Garmin or Suunto or Samsung handling this issue?
well I beg to differ: Syncing music without Apple Music - which means your own music collection - is a tremendous pontifical pain in the a... At least here. This bloody limit is ridiculous - I have still 9 GB free space on my watch. Pls somebody explain me why it is this 25% limit for music there. And why do I need Iphone to get music on my watch?Apple does not force you to use Apple Music.
They strongly nudge you in that direction with this Apple Watch limitation, and there's seemingly no other valid explanation for why it still exists. Imagine the meeting of the WatchOS team:Apple does not force you to use Apple Music.

Person A: "You know, this media storage space limit of 25%, it made sense back with the original Watch, since those had a lot less storage and we needed to reserve space for software updates, but seems totally unnecessary and arbitrary with Watches coming with 32-64GB now. How about we fix that?"
Person B: "Yeah, I thought about that too and ran it up the chain of command, but the folks from the Apple Music division objected, saying that if people could sync more of their own music to their Watch, they might be less likely to subscribe to Apple Music."
