So you have your new fancy watch... what now? You're probably going to want to fill it up with data! This can either be music pictures, text files, or even videos (not recommended although completely possible.) But wait, as you probably already know, this takes space. Well how much space can such a device as the Ether watch hold? Well thanks to lightning fast innovation over the years since digital storage has become viable, probably more than you think. The base storage on each watch is 16 gigabytes. That's right, 16 beautiful gigs as soon as you pull it out of the box, impressive huh? But of course, you might need more, those cute pictures of your cat can really add up when it comes to storage space. That's when SD card storage comes into play. Secure Digital cards allow for more data to be loaded into a device and stored on the card itself, which can be removed and the data read elsewhere. In fact, you're phone probably uses one. Basically its a more universal version of the memory cards we all had with our Playstation 2's.
But how, you ask, can we manage to fit so much "space" into so little space? Well it's easier than ever at the rate technology is evolving. Just a few years ago, a 2 gigabyte memory card sold for almost sixty dollars (that's only about 500 mp3 song) a travesty by todays standards. Now digital storage is not determined by the actual size of the device nearly as much. For example the newest generation of iPods all have the same dimensions, but vary wildly in their digital storage capacities. Essentially The Ether watch will conform to those who just want a few apps for maximum convenience, as well as those who want to carry their entire library with them.
