Apple's September Keynote event saw the release of the iPhone 7, the iPhone 7 Plus and the Apple Watch 2. With most of the attention of the tech world focused on the other two flagship smartphones, let's turn the spotlight and try to appreciate how much the Apple Watch 2 has improved since its first appearance in the smartwatch market.
How Far The Apple Watch 2 Is From The Original Apple Watch
It has been more than a year since Apple has ventured into the world of tech wearables and their first attempt was somehow forgettable. The original Apple Watch met somehow a good amount of criticism as people looked into the device as an unfinished tech project.
With no specific purpose than by just being a watch for reading notifications, a built-in heart rate monitor and having the capability to be paired with certain apps, the Apple Watch was somehow missing its true purpose. And that's where the Apple Watch 2 comes in.
A More Complete Fitness Tracker And More
It is a standard nowadays for fitness trackers to have built-in GPS and that is something the Apple Watch 2 has definitely added to its arsenal, omitting the need to bring an iPhone in every run. Aside from that, the Apple Watch 2 is now waterproof for up to 50-meters, making it perfect for people who wants to run even during rainy conditions or take the Apple Watch 2 for a quick swim or dive.
Aside from the features that runners prefer for in a fitness tracker, we get into the power in terms of performance for the Apple Watch 2. Apple promised that the dual-core processor is 50% faster than its predecessor, and this again helps the purpose of having GPS in the Apple Watch 2 as it now loads maps faster specially in watchOS 3.
The Apple Watch 2 also packs a brighter screen and bigger battery. The screen is now twice as bright than the Original Apple Watch and with the increased thickness of the Apple Watch 2 itself comes with longer battery life.
If you want to buy the Apple Watch 2, just bare in mind that it can only be paired with the iPhone devices. Stay tuned to Game & Guide for more Apple Watch 2 news and update.
