Apple Watch Series 2 review: Apple's winning wearable
There are now two main Apple Watch models available – the Series 1 and the Series 2. In this review we look at the updated version, the Series 2, but if you're looking to spend less money you may want to consider the Series 1. Here's a brief rundown of the differences:- Water- and swim-proof
- Built-in GPS
- Brighter
- more readable screen outdoors
- The price is high
- Still no sleep tracking
Ok
It was an Apple Watch, but I returned it. The picture and text didn't match. I got a black. I wanted and ordered white. Was roughing $80 more than if I bought it in the city, not a good value. But got my return so I'm happy. Good customer service.
Apple Watch Series 2 review: Fitness first
As the Apple Watch continues to polarise opinion, Apple has released a new version of the smartwatch which hopes to address many of the concerns of the first outing. It's called the Apple Watch Series 2.- Now 50m water resistant
- built-in GPS
- better battery
- unlock your Mac is fun
- two-button workout pause option
- WatchOS 3 makes for a better overall experience
- No always-on display option
- no 'Cinema Mode' can be annoying
- some won't like square design
APPLE Watch Series 2 - 42 mm
- Bright display
- Can be seen in brightest of light
- Sometimes doesn't activate with wrist movement, have to touch it then
- But no big problem
Apple Watch Series 2 Review: A smartwatch I have no qualms recommending
Using an Apple Watch during the past 16 months was a mixed experience: one that saw Apple's first wearable launch amid high praise, confusion, and skepticism of just how much a tiny wrist-worn computer should be able to do.- Finally
- fast and reliable performance
- Screen is easier to view
- even in the sun
- Built-in GPS
- Water resistance is a nice feature for anyone to have
- Battery life is still a day
- two at most for non GPS users
Apple Watch Series 2
If you're not at all interested in fitness tracking, Apple Watch Series 2 is likely about as appealing as the first-gen Watch was when it was first released. That being said, if you are a runner or swimmer this may be the push you need to get an Apple Watch.- Series 2's fitness tracking abilities give the Watch a more focused path
- The awaited built-in GPS is accurate and adds another dimension to the smartwatch
- Swimproof water-resistance will be welcomed by all, but swimmers will also appreciate the detailed swim tracking.
- Though the Watch's appeal has broadened, it's still relatively narrow with no true "wow" feature
- No notable gains in battery life or charging ability
- watchOS 3 and an upgraded processor offer a great benefit to first-gen Apple Watch users as well, at a lower price.
Apple Watch Series 2 Review
The Apple Watch Series 2 bundles brains, beauty, and brawn into the best smartwatch yet.- Brighter screen is legible outside
- Waterproof and ready to swim
- Apps launch faster
- WatchOS 3 is streamlined
- Only watch that fits female wrists
- Expensive
- One-day battery life
Apple Watch Series 2 Review: Better in (Almost) Every Way
Ironically, Apple has made the Apple Watch more appealing to more shoppers by narrowing its focus. From the GPS and water resistance to the new Activity watch face and activity sharing options, the $369 Series 2 is an excellent fitness tracker watch that happens to have lots of other talents.- Built-in GPS is huge for runners
- Faster performance
- Brighter display is good in sunlight
- Longer battery life
- Waterproof design is good for swimming
- Not enough workout data on watch
- Where's the watch-face store
- Lacks LTE support
Review: Apple Watch Series 2 is a great improvement, but watchOS 3 steals the show
Equipped with a noticeably faster dual-core S2 processor, its own standalone GPS radio, and now with a waterproof design, the Apple Watch Series 2 is a worthwhile and fantastic upgrade from the first-generation model. It's also a great jumping on point for new buyers.
Apple Watch Series 2 review: A faster, brighter fitness machine
Apple Watch Series 2 isn't an essential upgrade for current Apple Watch owners, but it's our favorite smartwatch for fitness fanatics.- Brighter 1,000-nit screen is easier to see outdoors
- GPS tracks your routes with no iPhone nearby
- Water resistant to 50 meters
- with new swim...
- Still requires nightly charging
