The Apple Watch Series 4 was the best smartwatch we'd ever tested until the Apple Watch 5 came along, so it's no bad thing that Apple has merely tweaked its blueprint for its new wearable.

Always-on screen; Impeccable heart-rate tracking; Excellent performance

Shorter battery life than the Series 4; No sleep tracking; Always-on screen doesn't work with third-party apps

The Apple Watch 2 is an improvement on the original Watch in a number of ways, and all of them useful. The extended battery life, the GPS abilities and the water-resistance now make this a compelling smartwatch, though the follow up Series 3 is the device that really convinced us it has a purpose.

Water-resistant; GPS onboard; Two day battery life

Expensive; Lack of useful apps; Fitness could be more comprehensive

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.

QVC, most of us do not want the bundles. They're expensive, and we receive items we don't really want or need. The only reason I haven't purchased from another vendor is because of the trust that I have in QVC taking care of customers. Please simply offer the watch and/or watch with another strap.

Is the Apple Watch Series 2 the perfect smartwatch No. But it makes a much more compelling argument than the original that you should own one. We're not just talking about the addition of GPS and the waterproofing here either.

Good looking; comfy; waterproof; Accurate swim tracking; Improved usability and alerts; Speedy; reliable GPS

Battery life is still not great; So-so apps; No sleep or elevation; Expensive

I did not want to review the Apple watch until I had used mine for a while, so here goes. First and foremost, this is probably about as nice of an electronic watch as you could possibly get. It is very nice-looking and well thought out.

I love my Apple Watch! It's an unnecessary gadget but I love it. In addition to telling the time I use it to track my steps, my exercise/runs and calendar reminders. I use Apple Pay to buy things when I've forgotten my purse/cash, very handy to just fob onto the underground/tube.

I bought this watch for my son's birthday and he was blown away. I shopped around for the best price and Macy's was the one. It was perfectly described and I am thrilled that it arrived in record time. Thank you Macy's once again for a great product and speedy delivery.

Easy to use; surprising battery life; there's an app for everything

The original Apple Watch was a superb gadget that won Gadget of The Year gong at the 2015 T3 Awards. But it was also a first generation device in many ways. It required daily charging. It wasn't that quick. It wasn't waterproof. It didn't have GPS. Enter the Apple Watch Series 2.

Take it in the shower; GPS GPS GPS; The best smartwatch around

Sometimes fiddly; Distance accuracy; Better battery but want more
