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

It is really good I only had 265$ but they should lower the price

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

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

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

So disappointed, with Apple products I expect a fast, easy to use device, the AW was the opposite. The interface was un-intuitive, slow and laggy, had no always on display, the digital crown awkward, the watch face choice is awfull and poor quality.

Waterproofing

To many to mention

I recently bought this watch and really love the on screen notifications feature. It allows me to not pull out my phone every 2 seconds to see if a notification is important or not. The sport band is extremely comfortable and the 42mm is the perfect size for men!

Fab Apple Watch well worth buying, does everything it says it does & looks good. Delivery service excellent totally recommend

The Apple Watch Series 2 (starting at $369) is the closest we've come to a genuine smartwatch / fitness tracker hybrid yet. In addition to a faster processor and a brighter screen than the original model, the Series 2 has a waterproof design for swimmers, and built-in GPS so runners can leave their...

Built-in GPS; Waterproof to 164 feet; Brighter screen and faster performance than original Apple Watch; Accurate fitness tracking; Plenty of third-party apps

Expensive; Battery life has not improved from predecessor; Lacks integrated sleep tracking and continuous heart rate monitoring when not working out

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
