The Apple Watch 2 definitely has some promise to live up to, considering how the previous version has a heavy expectation behind it. Now, as upsetting as it may sound the latest piece of hardware does have its share of unpleasant limits alike.
After Apple has allegedly dropped news on their iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, patrons of the worldwide power company are officially excited over the release of the Apple Watch 2. For some that may not be aware of what the gadget is capable of, the said device aims to track the records of fitness aficionados who are immensely on-the-go, but it seems as if not everything will be covered by such.
According to Tech Radar, it is a given that the Apple Watch 2 will be comprised of many health-related feats, such as the built-in GPS antenna. Questions are still raised for the newly released follow-through, such as if the device tracks elevation.
The Verge reported that the Apple Watch 2 is still incapable of tracking altitude, and in this case, third-party apps may be the better option to do so. An example is Altimeter+, as well as the ViewRanger app meant for those who cycle or hike.
Sadly, the aforesaid will indicate the corresponding elevation for the Apple Watch 2, under the condition that the user possesses their iPhone at that moment. Without the iPhone, no tracking can be made for the Apple Watch 2 under any cost especially if it does not rely on the device.
In the same manner, the Apple Watch 2 is said not keep records of the user's weight training regimen. The movements, repetitions or the rest phase between the sets remain undetermined and it is recommended that a third part workout app is applied alongside the watch.
More than that, Apple Watch users are to know that it does not track sleep. No built-in feature has been given to the Watch, and despite being presumed on having it, it is suggested to use the Cardiogram app for tracking rest.
On a positive note, the Apple Watch 2 sustained the heart rate sensory mechanism, which is identical to the model from last year. Unfortunately, saving various sports notes may not be all that easy--in a scenario wherein athletes come from cycling and then running, each accomplishment must be saved individually before proceeding to the next exercise.
Overall, those who look to purchase the said hardware can compare the Apple Watch to the Nike model, but not completely identical. Stay posted for more updates and news here at Gamenguide.
