Cool story bro.




>What are you doing with your apple watch that requires additional processing power?

Using apps on it. If all you want is the time and a heart rate monitor than yeah apple watch isn't for you.

>I mean... garmin beats apple hands down, so do other brands.

I meant day to day active monitoring not when you're in a workout.

>Almost every modern smart watch has this?

Yes and go check their battery life differences when it's turned on.

>'Having lower RAM literally doesn't matter if you can just use less.'

I can charge it when it's not needed.

You can also run one app at a time save on RAM.


Yup, and if you don't need to run multiple apps at the same time that is a valid tradeoff if it buys you other things.
