Yes this is the watch that I have. I know it has 16GB of storage space which is PLENTY for my needs as I have more than 8GB free. But tell me is the microprocessor in it the same as the series 5 and 6 or not? I don’t plan to upgrade for a long time and I won’t want apple to slow this one down with watchOS 9.x or whatever. I will probably be okay with 8.x but after is a question. This watch works fine for my needs and I really do not need 32GB for a watch.
Got a tip for us?

The S4 has an S4 processor, the S5 and SE have an S5 (which is not too different from the S4 I believe) and the S6 features an S6 processor (you guessed it, didn’t you)
From my experience (have an S4 and an S6), the difference in speed is negligible and to me also 16GB is plenty enough storage. Although I miss the AOD a bit on the S4

Yes, because it‘s an S4. I meant that I miss the AOD when I wear mine instead of the S6 😉
I was surprised that the SE didn’t have the AOD. The SE has the same processor as the S5 and the S5 has the AOD.
I think the S4 and S5 are essentially the same processor. Same CPU cores. The S6 is the first watch processor with a significant update since the S4. In my experience it’s noticeably faster than the S4/S5 when it comes to using Siri.
That's my understanding too. The S5 has the S4 SOC with an added magnetometer.
