Mostly. GPS activity causes a big hit on battery life for running. Lacks always-on display. A tad thicker and heavier. Requires an iPhone to work
Battery life is still not great

No sleep or elevation
Lack of useful apps
Fitness could be more comprehensive
Interface can be counterintuitive at first
Lack of GPS

Better battery but want more

Massive improvement, WatchOS 3, GPS, Water resistant, Variety
Pricey
The Apple Watch 2 is undoubtedly one of the very best wearables that we've rocked on our wrists. With a massive selection of design combinations, essential features like built-in GPS and waterproofing, plus a refined OS and plenty of app support, there's...

While I have pointed out several things to criticize, the reality is that I love the Apple Watch MUCH more than I could ever have imagined. The tight iPhone integration, fitness motivation, ease of use and comfort all come together to make Apple Watch a...
The Series 2 (and Series 1) is in no way worse than Apple's last version, and it serves its purpose with aplomb. It's still the best smart watch choice for iPhone owners, and that's unlikely to change any time soon.Don't write off the Series 1 either, tho...
Abstract: Shortly after the Apple Watch Series 2 release last month, I gave the second-generation version model a fairly detailed review that I was pleased with noting the benefits of GPS and waterproofing like unlocking new workouts and other capabilities. Testing...
Abstract: Apple's latest version of its Watch, the Series 2, was announced alongside the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus , and launched at the same time as well. While it may have been overshadowed by the phones, the new model solves a number of problems that were presented by...
Like iPad 2, Apple Watch Series 2 did indeed get faster. It didn't get thinner or lighter, though. Instead, like iPhone 3G, Apple used the second generation to fill out features, specifically GPS, and to boost brightness, battery life, and water resistanc...
Muchappreciated performance boost, Still feels very comfortable, even with larger size, GPS and improved waterresistance are great for active users, Brighter screen is nice to have (though better control over it would be even better)
Larger battery doesn't translate to increased battery life, Software interactions with iPhone are clunky at best, Text input relies far too heavily on voice control, Limited HW upgrades make $100 premium over Series 1 a tough sell
In a lot of ways, the Apple Watch Series 2 feels a lot like an Apple Watch 1.5 – and we already made the comparison to one of Apple's S-year iPhone upgrades. While the user experience has matured since the first-gen model, most of that's due to the upgrad...
Jack of all trades with strong notification system, native app support and fitness featues. Waterproof to 50m, GPS, lots of bands available, can makes calls
Works only with iPhone, look has changed little from last gen model
It's not perfect, and I have a feeling that many folks have different ideal smartwatches. It is however the best jack of all trades smart wrist companion with extensive fitness features (at least if you have an iPhone to bring it to life). It's available...
