After the successful release of the Apple Watch 2, also known as the Apple Watch Series 2, a month ago, a number of detailed reviews from tech analysts was also posted online. One of the in-depth reviews came from 9to5Mac highlighting the device's GPS, waterproof feature, and other new workout functions.
What most users enjoy a lot is the built-in GPS of the device. The good thing about this feature is that it works with our without iPhone. Maps app is another feature that can be of great help. Whether you forgot your iPhone or it ran out of power, the maps app on the Apple Watch 2 will still continue tracking your location and updating along your route to your destination, Indian Express reported.
The concept is similar with what the giant tech company has previously shown on stage at its keynote with Viewranger app - making use of the GPS to navigate pre-loaded routes. It is best to learn that it extends to Apple's own Maps app, Trusted Reviews reported.
When it comes to open water swimming, results are more likely spotty GPS tracking. This is just probably due to the nature of using GPS in certain environments, including the beach.
Another impressive thing about the Apple Watch 2 is its battery life. If the watch OS 3.1 is released to everyone, more and more users will definitely be overwhelmed with the device's long lasting battery life. When moderately use plus 30 minutes of active workouts per day, the watch may last about a day and a half on a single charge.
Furthermore, the increased water resistance of the Apple Watch Series 2 along with the speaker trick that incredibly ejects water are also worthy to highlight. With Apple Watch 2, users can place a phone call or record a voice message after a swim in the pool or ocean without sending an impacted sound to its recipient.
