Apple Watch Series 1 (42 mm, silver aluminum case with white Sport Band, 2016)

The Apple Watch Series 1 models were similar to the original Apple Watch, but used a more powerful dual core processor. Like its successor, this Watch was controlled with a Digital Crown and a Force Touch display, and it needed to be paired with an iPhone 5 (or newer).

This Apple Watch Series 1 model is a 42 mm version (a 38 mm version was also available) and used a 312×390 display. The battery was reported to last up to 18 hours, but specific functions were reported to use more battery power than others (e.g., 3 hours of talk time, 6.5 hours of audio playback, 8 hours of working out).

The Apple Watch Series 1 was originally sold in four configurations:

  • silver aluminum case with white Sport Band
  • gold aluminum case with cocoa (dark brown) Sport Band
  • rose gold aluminum case with midnight blue Sport Band
  • space gray aluminum case with black Sport Band

The Sport Bands were made of fluoroelastomer rubber.

This Apple Watch Series 1 was purchased with a silver aluminum case with white Sport Band. The band pictured is a black Sport Band.

Read Me First

I began collecting Apple computers, accessories, and collectibles in the 1990s. When iPod, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch devices were introduced, I began to collect those items as well. About twenty-five years later, I have an extensive collection of all things Apple.

Beginning in late 2018, I began to document and catalog my collection. I use a Nikon D3500 (with 18–35mm lens), iPhone 12 Pro Max, a basic lighting setup, and a white IKEA table. Blog entries include information, photos, and personal commentary. My Instagram account that features highlights from this collection.
