Correct. Which is why I was indicating my appreciations for Saphirre to protect my Investment over Ion-X Glass. I understand tech is replaced every few years. I prefer the tech sides of wearables. But that's my preference over my other watches I own.
Got a tip for us?

Yes I have the first Gen SS 42mm, since they where released bought two of them a 38mm for my wife. My display started to fade after 14months it so bad that I can't see it at all in any kind of light. I shower in mine since having it. The gienus bar said it looks like water damage, and wanted $250 for fixing it or replacing it. Don't think so I put that $250 towards SS 42mm series 2, I live in Florida and is at the beach all the time especially in the summer, also do a lot of swimming at my gym LA fitness so true water resistant makes sense to me. Also SS will hold up better to salt water etc. And can be refinished back to new if there is scratches, can't do that with sport models aluminum. Besides all my watches are SS. I just like the look of the Nike+ watch SG with black & volt band, but after seeing the paint chipping I cancelled my order lol.

I think in all honesty the series 2 watches will hold a better resale value than the first Gen watches. Also I think that the features of series 2 is what apple should have done from the start with the first Gen watches lol.
Agreed. I never got my Watch wet only from washing hands. I use to clean my FuelBand in full water a few times. Now it'll be easy to run this thing under water and get a good clean. I feel the jury is still out though. I want to know what makes it water resistant because all I've seen is the speaker port ejects water...
Well maybe it as something to do with water getting in through the speaker area maybe? Don't know. But all I know is it better not get damage by water this time around being 50m water resistant and All, because it will be put to the test with me for sure. I swim 3 to 4 days a week lol.
Even if you don't have AppleCare+ If your series 2 gets water damage it's covered under your normal warranty by law apple has to replace it, because they are advertising there watch as being swim prove and to 50m or 150feet of water which I doubt most people will go that deep anyways.
