Apple Watch 2
With less than 3 weeks to go, it feels like a good time to start a discussion.It's all rumours at this stage, but the current thinking is:
Integrated GPS
Barometer
Better battery life
Higher waterproof rating
No standalone cellular connection
No camera
No additional health sensors
I love my Apple Watch, but I'm still to be convinced I need an upgrade. Right now I'm saying that I'll be resisting the urge to upgrade. The only thing that would convince me is a better form factor (slightly thinner) but I would if it was significantly faster. Love my watch but there are too many times when it just takes too long to open and app.
The sensible thing for me would be to wait for the AW3 but I never do the sensible thing! Still more than happy with my watch. I really only use it for the time, to log walks and cycles, and notifications! Really don't need anything more than that personally. I can't afford to even consider it with a wedding to save up for now. Definitely interested to see what the changes are, my current AW has hardly left my wrist since purchase.
If it is a worthy upgrade I'll be waiting for John Lewis to stock it as I did with the first version so that I can get my discount though. I've held off buying one for the last few months to see if a second AW comes out. Waiting forward to see what's new. Same here. Just waiting for release of the next version and I'm 99% in. Looking forward to this.Have been wanting to buy the AW for a while now, but have been holding off for the AW2.FaceTime via the watch will be useful and I would like it to be thinner than the current AW, which it is rumoured to be.I've noticed quite a few apps I've downloaded have had AW versions, which I felt would be quite useful. There's no firm evidence of a camera yet, I fact it's hard to see where it would physically fit into the current design.
The current rumours are there will be a low-end Sport version with almost no new features, and the higher end models will get the biggest changes. Not long to wait to find out. Ah fair enough, was just a rumour I heard. Like you say, not long until we all find out.
