Yes! At least more-so that then first-generation Apple Watch. Whereas the original Watch was merely splash-proof, the Apple Watch Series 2 is being called “swim-proof.” Most ingeniously, Apple has redesigned the speaker, which needs air to make sound, to help keep water from getting inside the device. Technically, the Apple Watch Series 2 meets the...
No! The 50 meter certification is somewhat of a misnomer. It just means that you can go swimming with your Apple Watch Series 2, either in a pool or the ocean. So don’t even think about going scuba diving wearing your Watch.
Original rumors suggested that Apple was hoping to make its second-generation smartwatch fully cellular, but it turns out that’s not the case. You will still need to have your iPhone nearby for your Apple Watch Series 2 to perform most data-heavy operations. But that doesn’t mean that the new Watch is useless without being tethered to your iPhone. ...
During the September event, Apple showcased the built-in GPS on the Apple Watch Series 2, both by mapping a running route in the Workout app, and with a third-party app too. Using ViewRanger,a hiking app, you can pick from nearby hikes, get notifications about scenic points while en-route, make sure you don’t go off the trail, and record your activ...
Yes, during our hands-on after the event, we noticed that the Apple Watch Series 2 was slightly thicker than the original Series 1. The Watch Series 2 has a dual-core processor making it faster, as well, and the display is twice as bright. In addition to the stainless steel and the aluminum models, Apple has added a glossy white ceramic body that S...
If you’re looking to purchase an ultra-expensive Apple Watch, the ceramic model will have to do. The ceramic Apple Watch Edition replaces last year’s solid-gold Watches with their exorbitant retail prices between $10,000 and $17,000. You can still pony up for the Hermès collection, starting at $1149 for a stainless steel Apple Watch Series 2 with s...
Another big reveal during the September event was a collaboration with Nike. The Apple Watch Nike+ is designed specifically for runners, with a lightweight aluminum body, a special active watch face, and a perforated Sports band for better ventilation. With this special Watch, you’ll be able to ask Siri to start a run. While running, you can get a ...
The Apple/Nike collaboration has also put motivation on the forefront. The Apple Watch Nike+ will prompt you with a question: “Are We Running Today?” These notifications pull up specific details like when was the last time you went on a run, if the weather is perfect to run outside, or information from your friends to keep you motivated. In additio...
Yes, that’s right—watchOS 3 was introduced earlier this year during WWDC and will launch on September 13. Here’s a quick refresher: watchOS 3 will make it so that Watch apps launch 7 times faster. You will also be able to share your Activity circles with your friends to keep each other motivated, and use a new Breathe app for helping with deep-brea...

Oct 14, 2016 · The Series Two also features a brighter display (more than twice as bright as the original Apple Watch, although by default it's set to the medium brightness setting; if you don't go into the Watch app, or the Settings menu on the watch, and turn it up all the way you might miss that).
