The Apple Watch Series 2 is faster than the original Apple Watch, water-resistant to 50m, has a brighter screen and GPS and even seems to have a slightly better battery. Concerns over price aside, it's almost perfect. Here's our Apple Watch 2 review

If you're not at all interested in fitness tracking, Apple Watch Series 2 is likely about as appealing as the first-gen Watch was when it was first released. That being said, if you are a runner or swimmer this may be the push you need to get an Apple Watch.

Series 2's fitness tracking abilities give the Watch a more focused path; The awaited built-in GPS is accurate and adds another dimension to the smartwatch; Swimproof water-resistance will be welcomed by all, but swimmers will also appreciate the detailed swim tracking.

Though the Watch's appeal has broadened, it's still relatively narrow with no true "wow" feature; No notable gains in battery life or charging ability; watchOS 3 and an upgraded processor offer a great benefit to first-gen Apple Watch users as well, at a lower price.

I like my Apple Series 2 watch .Would be nice if things would come with a user manual from manufacturer.I did go on line and find a nice tutorial that I learned alot from.Such a convience .

The Apple Watch 2 (or Apple Watch Series 2 to give it its official title) is the second version of the most successful smartwatch around. It's since been replaced by the but is still widely on sale.

Bright; beautiful screen; Great fitness tracking; GPS makes it more versatile; Solid battery life; Snappy performance

Expensive; Looks the same as previous version

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.

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.

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

"The Apple watch isn't going to replace your headunit or high-end multisport watch, but it tracks all the key metrics accurately enough to observe trends in your workouts"

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

Optical heart rate point to point accuracy

The Apple Watch Series 2 is exactly that. It's what Apple had resisted calling its wearable for the past year and a half, even declining to categorize it as such when citing industry rankings, opting for the "smartwatch" category instead. It is, definitely, still a smartwatch.

Built-in GPS; Water resistant up to 50m; Faster performance; Bigger battery

Limited to iPhone users; Display not visible in direct sunlight; Still has some software glitches

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.
