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

But swimmers will also appreciate the detailed s

No changes in design
Still requires nightly charging

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
With the Apple Watch Series 3 it does feel like Apple has finally released a wearable that realises its potential. The LTE-equipped models have a freedom that is truly useful, especially in terms of health and fitness, but also for conveniently staying in...

Apple's focus on fitness with Apple Watch Series 2 is entirely justified. The addition of GPS makes this a much better watch for anyone doing outdoor fitness, and the water resistance and swimming features mean it's now much more versatile.The fitness ang...
Gorgeous design, Comfortable to wear, Multiple variants to appeal to many people
Interface can be counterintuitive at first, Lack of GPS
The Apple Watch wasn't the first ever smartwatch, and doesn't really do anything rival products can't. But what it does do, it does as well as any smartwatch out there, thanks to Apple's user interface expertise. It's a slick device to use, although you s...

Fast performance, Attractive design, GPS, Water resistance, 2day battery life, Brighter screen
High price tag, Not compatible with Android smartphones
The new Apple Watch Series 2 takes the main complaints about the attractive but flawed original Apple Watch - slow operation, lack of GPS, limited water resistance, short battery life - and solves or at least improves them systematically.Having completed...
The big question is whether these changes are enough – sure, the fitness credentials are good, and a solid upgrade, but these are the things we were hoping to see last time around, rather than having to wait two years for.But then again, the smartwatch ma...
The Apple Watch 2 feels more like a great gift than a necessary purchase – it's the cost that prevents it being a strong buy. It doesn't feel like it's too expensive when you hold it and discover what it can do, but ultimately it's still more of a novelty...
Apple's Apple Watch Series 2 is a huge improvement from the first-generation Apple Watch, but we're not sure it's enough to compete with the 4G-enabled Huawei Watch 2. Featuring more impressive fitness tracking, standalone support and Android Wear 2.0, Hu...
The Huawei Watch is cheaper, but in many ways it should be as it lacks the style and sophistication of the Apple Watch. However, perhaps the addition of 4G makes up for all the other failings.In nearly every way that we feel counts, the Apple Watch 2 is b...

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
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. It's expensive, sure, but c...
