Apple Watch Series 2 Impressions: Iterative Design, but Ceramic Impresses and Fitness Shows Promise

This will be your second Watch? Which model will you be ordering Jonny?

Second watch, just sold my old sport one today to free up cash.

I've been jumping between the Series 2 space grey or the black ss. I can't justify the cost for the ss even though it will look great. So space grey it is...

You?

Stainless Steel 42 MM. The aluminum is a nice Watch with the weight reduction and they look good. I don't blame you for the cost of the black stainless. Good luck with the preorder.

Why is Apple continuing to pour excessive amounts of R&D, resources and money into a failed product called the Apple Watch? A company obsessed with making products thinner have just contradicted their own beliefs and marketing, and made their newly released product, thicker.

However no one is asking why?

If we 'Follow The Money', the corporations and people that run Apple from behind the scenes are desperate to convince the global population that being chipped through a form of RFID is a good idea, and are using Apple to push their banking agenda. In-order to deceive the public from realising this, the promotion of "Health and Fitness" is being used as the excuse to implement the needed programs and infrastructure in the background. This is why there is a massive media campaign currently to push implants, Pay Wave and Apple Pay platforms, as these same banking corporations control the media.

This information was detailed and leaked from a 1969 speech, given in secret, by Dr. Richard Day. (See 'The Richard Day Tapes')

Lol, ok buddy.
Thanks for the warning.
We'll all be sure to keep our eyes out for the Illuminati.

what does everyone think of the white ceramic color? Kinda feminine? Only one band color with it? Wish they made a space-grey ceramic one...

with the apple watch nike+, can you use other watch faces or are you limited to the nike ones that come with the watch?

Maybe it's just me, but I can REALLY see the added thickness and it kind of breaks the design for me. The Apple Watch 1 was on the verge of being too thick, this one crossed it.

I don't know what it is but the 1mm adds a lot to the curve and makes the whole device seem bigger and less elegant.

Yep, I looks definitely bulky now. Unlike the iPhone, the Apple watch should be as thin as possible.

I'd like to read a comparison between series 1 and 2 screens.
I don't care about GPS and waterproof so I'm more interested in series1, but I'd use the Watch outdoors and screen brightness is really important

I hope they sell the Nike bands as a separate. I hate the some bands cannot be bought unless you buy the entire watch.

I really like that nike band

Ouch. I'm sure they're leaving room for more robust third party apps, but you've got to get stuff like motion counting right if you're going to be taken seriously as an exercise tool.

[doublepost=1473417431][/doublepost]Mac Rumors mischaracterized Tech Radar's article regarding swim-stroke calculation. Tech Radar did not give an "example of the Apple Watch miscalculating the user's stroke during a swimming workout," as Mac Rumors says. Instead, Tech Radar asked a question about swim-stroke length: "How does it know how long your stroke is?" This question is not based on testing or other experience, and does not constitute an example. Its only basis is conjecture. Mac Rumors should correct this portion of its watch summary.

I'm getting S1 over S2 too. I once had a Sport but returned it in a week, just couldn't justify the cost at that time for what it did. Now I've got the new iPhone I think it'll also work better for me so I'm going for a S1. When I had the sport last time I actually had the brightness turned down. I never had a problem with brightness.
