Apple Watch Series 2 is a homerun for anyone looking for a smartwatch focused around fitness. The screen is definitely brighter than the original Apple Watch and performance is much, much better. The case is a little thicker than the original Apple Watch--the only way I noticed this was because I had to move my sport band to the fourth notch versus the third on the original Apple Watch. The battery is improved even though Apple doesn't say it is. I'm a swimmer and the metrics are pretty accurate--your not going to get the detailed analytics from a Garmin, but it will provide you with active calories, total calories, distance, time, average heart rate (at the end of the workout, not during), lap count, average pace per 100, and dominate stroke. See screen shots below.

This is my first Apple Watch and I purposely waited for version 2 of the Apple Watch. I am glad I waited as this feels like a mature device and it really fast. I use this for so much more than just a fitness tracker which is what is how it was designed to be used. The battery life on this watch is great as I have been able to go 2 days without charging the watch which is awesome. I like the water resistance to 50m and not having to worry if I get it wet and with it being a watch it will be exposed to the elements a lot as well as being on when I go swimming. I highly recommend this new Apple Watch series 2!

I went with the Series 2 over the 3 because I didn’t want calls and text updates without my phone on me. I leave my phone behind when I want the silence. The display is great. I can put music on it and connect to my wireless headphones for a jog. Keeps track of my fitness stats and goals. I enjoy checking that if I’m driving to see if it’s an important message instead of messing with my phone.

I got the watch the same time as the iPhone 7plus. I needed the watch for being able to see who called or texted, cause phone wasn’t always with me. It was in another room at work. The phone part worked most times. The text part was cool. You you receive text and answer back by using keyboard, speaking or writing using finger. That’s what I used all the time. You could show your pics that were on your phone on to the watch, really cool. Because this Watch was on the cellular,carrier, you couldn’t be to far from the phone. The speaker on Watch was very good. I would recommend it only if you can’t have your phone with you, and your phone isn’t too far off. Love how it keeps track of steps and excerise you do.

We got this watch for my daughters boyfriends grad gift and he absolutely loves it! He loves the gps the talk features and sync to his phone Concept. It also looks very sharp! My favorite thing about the item is a combination of high tech and the classic wrist watch look; what makes it nicer? It can be accessorized by changing out the strap to match your moods or style. To say he was excited was an understatement!
