World's two most recognisable brands combine for a triumph of branding… and a very decent, social-driven running watch

Exceptional strap design; Fast GPS pick-up; Nike + app and watch faces; Excellent social elements

Slow to sync to iPhone; Heart rate data not fully integrated; Lacks the in-depth analysis of dedicated watches

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
