Look has changed little from last gen model

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

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

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...
Even though my session with one strapped to my wrist was short, it's clear the Apple Watch finally seems to be finding its footing - instead of trying to bulldoze the competition by being everything to everyone.Even if you're not planning on being the nex...
I'm eager to test the GPS and lap-counting Swim workouts in the new Apple Watch Series 2, once they ship, and see how long the battery lasts compared to my trusty first-gen Apple Watch. Until then, I think the ceramic watch is the best looking if you'...
