Apple Watch Series 2 review: This time, a better smartwatch
The Apple Watch returns in a made-for-sports upgrade that adds swim functions and GPS, but anyone who's not a runner or swimmer should consider the Apple Watch Series 1 instead. There is a watch-shaped ring around my left wrist, a permanent tan-line.
Pros:
- The new Apple Watch is faster
- has a far better OS
- onboard GPS
- a brighter display and is waterproof to 50 meters in salt or fresh water.
Cons:
- Same battery life, mostly
- GPS activity causes a big hit on battery life for running
- Lacks always-on display
- A tad thicker and heavier
- Requires an iPhone to work.

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
It's been a while coming. The constantly evolving iPhone and iPad line-up has taught us to expect Apple products to be updated on a yearly basis, but the first-gen Apple Watch was on the market for 16 months before Apple delivered its successor.

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.
Pros:
- 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
Cons:
- Battery life is still a day
- two at most for non GPS users

Apple Watch Series 2 Review
The Series 2 (and Series 1) is in no way worse than Apple's last version, and it serves its purpose with aplomb. It's still the best smart watch choice for iPhone owners, and that's unlikely to change any time soon.Don't write off the Series 1 either, though.
