The Apple Watch Series 2 Review: Building Towards Maturity

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.

Apple Watch 2

Pros:
  • Water-resistant
  • GPS onboard
  • Two day battery life
Cons:
  • Expensive
  • Lack of useful apps
  • Fitness could be more comprehensive

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

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.

Apple Watch Series 2

There is a watch-shaped ring around my left wrist, a permanent tan-line. I've worn a watch since I was a kid. I've always liked to sleep with my watch. To shower with my watch. To swim with my watch. Not everyone likes to do this.
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
