Wife has the watch and I'm ready to receive one as birthday gift in July. Problem is, be a shame to get it if 2.0 is out a month or two later.

Some say a YEAR and other bloggers, columnists etc.. say it's imminent. What's up?
 
I'd wait if I were you, because:
(a) I think version 2 will be announced around September time. If it isn't you can be pretty sure nothing will be happening until 2017 and go ahead and get version 1 at that point.
(b) Whilst I like my Apple Watch, there is room for significant improvement and I would be hoping that the 2nd generation will be a big leap forwards.

Announcement or release?

Announcement: on a Tuesday
Release: on a Friday

Close enough?

(adding on)
How about this:
Buy this one now. Use it.
Wait to see how long it takes for version 2 to show up.
Don't bother to buy version 2.
Use this timetable to decide whether to wait for version 3 or 4.

Interesting; 1 for July, 11 for September and only 6 for 2017. TWO to one for real early. 😎

12-6 for within next couple months. I'll wait for 2.0, thank you fellahs! 🙂

I was really hoping that it would come out in June during WWDC, but I know that they will want to test the 3.0 software, which means it won't happen until September (WHICH IS KILLING ME). I've been patiently waiting since January, reading reasons why I should wait, but wanting one now for the fitness and notifications. But I still have to save up my weekly pocket money to be able to buy it anyway.

So my vote is around September when the iPhones are announced, or a month or so later so they can get the holiday sales. I'm hoping Apple do it earlier so it doesn't compete with iPhone sales....!

I really, REALLY like what you're prognosticating here! Makes a lot of sense and thank you jonnysods! 😎
 
Wow! Nearly 75% of you believe THE 2 will come out in July or September. 😎
I'm going with macrumor people power and holding off until then, thanks guys and gals! 🙂

We are all patiently waiting. Hoping June will give us some big hints or it just comes out then but I doubt it. People need to beta test the 3.0 software...

I originally voted July, but i honestly think it'll come out in September, plus it'll give me time to save up for it! 😛

Why are you using decimal points as a hardware indicator? It will be Apple Watch "2"
Not 2.0 or 1.5 or whatever you think it will be called.
As far as I am aware 2.0 was released last year ---as a SOFTWARE update!
There was no iPad 2.0 or iPhone 4.0, get the picture yet?

Because 2.0 is sooooooo many LESS, letters, than APPLE WATCH 2. 😛

You guys are pretty smart, called NO hardware announcement for June/July. :apple: Hope you are right about September and 2017 pushers are just plain wrong. 🙂
