GPS and improved waterresistance are great for active users
Brighter screen is nice to have (though better control over it would be even better)

The editors didn't like
Still expensive
Still iOS only
No auto-tracking activity feature
Cannot natively track sleep
Mapped routes cannot be viewed on the watch itself
Only in the Activity app
Third-party apps are hit or miss
Battery life is better than the original watch
But still not nearly as good as
Expensive
No changes in design
Still requires nightly charging
Works only with iPhone
Look has changed little from last gen model
Pricey
Limited to iPhone users
Display not visible in direct sunlight
Still has some software glitches
Larger battery doesn't translate to increased battery life
Software interactions with iPhone are clunky at best
Text input relies far too heavily on voice control
Limited HW upgrades make $100 premium over Series 1 a tough sell
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 firstgen Apple Watch users as well
At a l
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
Average pace calculations in workouts are often off the mark
Distance tracking in running falters if you stop to walk
Activity app is missing features you'll find in other fitness apps

Abstract: At first glance the new Apple Watch Series 2 looks nearly identical to the original Apple Watch, and it is, at least on the surface.Rather than focus on new bands and aesthetics like Apple has in the past, the Series 2 is instead all about performance. Th...
Still the best smartwatch on the market, watchOS 3 makes the watch more user friendly, Fantastic fitness tracker
Expensive, Bit of a learning curve, Short battery life compared to dedicated fitness trackers
The Apple Watch Series 2 offers the best smartwatch experience money can buy, but it's not cheap and it's not yet a must-have device. That being said, the Apple Watch Series 2 feels more focused than Apple's first attempt at cracking the wearable world, a...

Still, there are a few things that would the Apple Watch Series 2 better. To be a more complete fitness tracker, the Watch needs a barometer so it can more accurately track elevation changes; better battery life, so that GPS usage doesn't cut into...

Design hasn't changed, not rugged enough for some users
