Almost 2 years ago I wrote about my month with the original Apple Watch; I had purchased it in the US, before it came to South Africa. Fast forward to 2017, and the second-generation Apple Watch Series 2 is available locally.

Excellent multi-sport fitness device, great usability and performance - a defo buy for iPhone Users - the best smart watch on the market !

There's no doubt that for a large portion of the population, the Apple Watch Series 2 upgrades (specifically the inclusion of GPS) will hit the spot. The watch feels slightly faster, and core functionality is just as clean as it's ever been on the Apple Watch.

The Apple Watch Series 2 isn't cheap, but with GPS, water resistance, faster performance, longer battery life and better software, it's more compelling than the original.

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!

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

In many industries, but especially in technology, there's a common wisdom about waiting for the second or third iteration of a product before purchasing it. This is based on the idea that the first version of a product will often be the most flawed or compromised - a product still trying to find its...

Thoughts after two weeks of use - I'm more than happy with the battery life. I charge it every other night during the night and when it still has 21 percent of the battery left when I put it in the charger. I do not agree on much, and caterpillar with the clock.

Great device, I use it more than I expected I would. I decided to get the Series 2 since it's supposed to be faster and is also waterproof. I've never owned a smartwatch, but since I've got an iPhone and a MacBook this was a natural choice since it integrates so closely with the other Apple...

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
