In September 2015, Apple introduced the Apple Watch smart watch. Within an hour, they became one of the most popular watches in the world, second only to the Swiss ones. This watch is the most popular fitness tracker in the world. But they had serious shortcomings.
1. Lack of GPS. Because of this shortcoming, you always had to carry your iPhone with you while running, which is quite inconvenient;
2. Lack of protection against water and dust. Yes, they had protection from the rain, but swimming with them in the pool is strictly prohibited. Swimmers had to choose a second tracker, for example, Gear S3
3. "Iron". Applications started so slowly that I wanted to burn the watch.
Apple took into account all its mistakes and released it in September 2016 Apple watch Watch Series 2. In these times, everything has become different, the shortcomings have been eliminated. Is it worth changing the first version to the new one?
Water protection
One of the main differences between the new device and the old one is improved protection against water. According to the company, the device can be submerged in water up to fifty meters! With such immersion, the screen automatically turns off so that the sensor does not react to water droplets. And in order to bring the device back to life, you need to turn the Digital Crown, and with the help of vibration, water droplets will come out of the hole on the case.
GPS
The most important improvement for athletes is the presence of a GPS module. Now with time it is possible to run, ride a bike, swim and at the same time not carry an iPhone with you. The data collected by the module is stored in the Apple Watch until it is synchronized with the phone. Then these data are deleted, freeing up space for new data. The only minus is that there is no GPS indicator on the watch.
"Iron"
An updated processor S2 is installed in the time, which increases the performance of the device by two and a half times! Now you can forget about long-loading applications, they start instantly. This was achieved without increasing the body of the device.
Summing-up
In the new version of the watch, all significant shortcomings have been eliminated, making the model an ideal smart watch. If these watches had come out an hour ago, they would have had no price. The price tag for the 38 mm version starts at 34 thousand rubles, and for the 000 mm version at 42.
Pluses: improved water protection, improved hardware, GPS, increased battery capacity, optimized Watch OS 3.0.
Disadvantages: a really huge price for straps, only eighteen hours of battery life, the need to synchronize with a smartphone.
No matter how hard it is, there are still more advantages. Of the minuses, if you take into account that the price is a relative value, then there are only two of them.
