Apple has modified its smart watch. In the Apple version Watch Series 2, the following innovations: working platform 3, waterproofing has been improved with different swimming modes, GPS is built-in, and the screen is now brighter. Let's analyze how all this affected the overall operation of the device, and how the user can benefit from the new qualities.

Equipment

The packaging of the smartwatch is presented in the form of an oblong box made of thick cardboard. Inside the box is the base on which the device is located. The packaging does not cause any concern, it is reliable, and the gadget will not be damaged during transportation. Smart package apple watch Watch s2 is similar to the one that was in the apple watch sport:

  • the gadget itself with a bracelet;
  • charger in the form of a capsule with a USB plug and power supply;
  • instructions for use.


When purchasing, you can choose a strap: nylon or silicone. For those who chose the first option, bad news: the set includes 1 bracelet. If you buy a watch with a silicone addition, then there will be 2 straps different sizes, for larger wrists these are the ones that are suitable.

Design and appearance

The appearance is practically no different from the first generation AppleWatch: the same rounded lines without sharp corners, a rectangular module with two side control buttons.

The manufacturer has released 2 types of second-generation smartwatches: 38mm and 42mm. In the second option, the diagonal and dimensions are larger, so they will look good on a large hand. The first one is more accurate. The rest of the design of the models is the same.


The case material is stainless steel; on the back there is a sensor for measuring the pulse, around which there is a ceramic area, and buttons for replacing the bracelet. Unlike its predecessors, there are 2 microphone holes; there are no changes in the speakers. The case has become 1mm thicker, as a battery with a larger capacity is built-in, a GPS sensor has appeared, and water resistance has become full.

The second generation of smartwatches is distinguished by the release of several versions with their own design features. Apple began collaborating with Nike, releasing jointly apple device watch series 2 nike. Distinctive feature models - branded bright Nike straps with holes that allow the skin to breathe. Samples of the apple watch edition with a white ceramic module and designed with a gadget are suitable for fashion-conscious people. By the way, the fastening of the straps is the same, so you can replace the bracelet with a similar one from another series, it will also work.

What will please you with the new watchOS platform?

Along with the watch, Apple has improved the operating system; now all models (including the first generation) have the ability to use it. Let's look at the features of the apple watch 2 gadget caused by this innovation. It differs from the previous ones in that Dock has now appeared. It’s convenient to open applications from it, because previously you had to touch small icons with your finger, but now a short press on an oblong button is enough. Pinned and Recent open source software will immediately appear on the screen.


A special icon in the form of a small drop has appeared in the quick settings menu, which protects the device screen from water. That is, it is enough to use it before water procedures, and you don’t have to worry about the safety of the gadget.

Now there are also new dials: in the form of a jellyfish, talking Mickey and Minnie Mouse.

Which Apple Watch to choose: 38 mm or 42?

Let's analyze the common features and differences between two types of one model: apple watch series 2 38mm and 42 mm. Let's start with the characteristics that both types have.


Common features

Both the 38 mm model and the 42 mm sample have common indicators:

  1. The body of the most affordable gadget from Apple is made of aluminum; this series is the most durable metal alloy and is protected from corrosion. The average-priced option is made of stainless steel, and the most expensive Apple Watch had gold impurities, but it has already been discontinued. All 3 options exist in both 38mm and 42mm diagonals.
  2. The display type is the same, the image is clear in both versions.
  3. Identical “internals”: ​​processor, chipset, video adapter.
  4. 512 MB random access memory and 4 GB internal.
  5. Operating system watchOS
  6. Identical sensors for orientation in space, for measuring indicators.
  7. Availability of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

Distinguishing Features

Now let's talk about the differences between AppleWatch series 2 38 mm and 42 mm. Naturally, different dimensions. For more efficient and long-lasting operation, the Apple Watch 42 mm has more built-in powerful battery, which gives the device time battery life lasting 22 hours. At this time, the “younger brother” - 38mm - can withstand less - 18. There is also a difference in the cost of devices: a gadget with a larger diagonal is $50 more expensive.


Apple watch series 1 and 2 – what are the differences? Which gadget is better?

Apple already has 3 generations of wearable devices, then we will make a comparative table of the first two in order to better analyze the common and different specifications.

So, the difference between AppleWatch series 1 and 2 is significant. The latter is clearly improved: a 2-core processor provides more fast work, the screen became brighter and the colors more saturated. Also, now the body of the smart watch is more resistant to moisture, you can swim with it in the pool, in reservoirs, or dive to a depth of 50 m.

Plus, in the second generation a GPS sensor appeared, it is possible to determine the location of the device if necessary. Comparison and 2 showed that the latter gadget is worth buying if new features are really required. If screen brightness and a few extra hours of battery life play a decisive role, and swimming in the pool is regular, then you can safely run to the store.

Series 2

  1. Apple Watch Series 2 is waterproof up to 50 meters ISO standard 22810:2010. This means they can be used for shallow dives such as swimming in a pool or sea. You can also take a shower or hot bath in them. Apple Watch Series 2 should not be used for diving, water skiing, or other similar activities at great depths or in contact with water at high speeds. Stainless steel bands and leather bands are not water resistant.
  2. Apple Watch batteries were tested by Apple in August 2016 on pre-production Apple Watch Series 1, Apple Watch Series 2 and Apple Watch Edition paired with an iPhone; A pre-release version of the software was installed on all tested devices. Battery life varies depending on settings, usage, and many other factors; Actual operating times may differ from those stated. For more information, see www.apple.com/ru/batteries and www.apple.com/ru/watch/battery.html.

Some features are not available in all regions or languages. Requires iPhone 5 or later.

Each model is available with a specific case and strap. Sport bands, woven nylon bands, stainless steel bands, and leather bands are compatible with all Apple Watch models.

1. Is it necessary to change the first generation watch? I think you yourself understand perfectly well that this update is more likely to attract a new audience, those who swim, walk, run a lot, and dream of a gadget created by Nike and Apple. Therefore, if you have money, you can sell the first generation watch and buy Apple Watch series 2. But it will be difficult to sell! As people who often deal with second-hand goods say, the prices for the Apple Watch are not at all as interesting as in the case of the iPhone, buyers are now bargaining especially furiously (crisis), so some models can be found for half the price in the store - and often in ideal condition, with complete set, receipts, etc. Accordingly, you should not count on the fact that “now I’ll throw off a quarter, sell, add and buy new ones.” You will have to throw off more than half, listen to criticism from dear customers about scratches (well, where would we be without them), that the strap is worn out, and even activation, firmware first Apple Watch takes a lot of time - anyone who has experienced it will agree. Therefore, I personally resolved the issue in my family this way. My wife loves to swim and has wanted an Apple Watch for a long time - series 2 will suit her, pink gold, 38mm, some fun straps, great. I will just fine continue walking with the first watch until something happens to it. Well, if the opportunity arises, I’ll switch to the same model, with a metal bracelet, I like it the most.


2. I said about the long update and firmware of the first Apple Watch - it really was a pain. In the new watch - new processor, GPU is faster, so the recovery took half or even three times less time. Not instantly, but very quickly! I think in series 3 this will happen right before our eyes.

3. Perhaps the most interesting fact for me is the appearance of a model in a ceramic case. Why is it important? Because after the watch, other things in such a case, accessories or even smartphones may appear. Ceramics is a complex material, but extremely attractive in appearance. From experience I can say that ceramic watches are not very popular strong blows, the body may “get tired” over time, and therefore, breakages, cracks, and whole pieces fall out are likely.





This is especially true for watches that have various protruding parts, crown protection, and a large rotating bezel. The ceramic Apple Watch doesn't have anything like that - I think the crown is unlikely to start cracking over time. We'll see though. For now, such watches are produced only in a white version, supplied complete with a sports silicone strap, the cost is 115,990 rubles for the 38 mm version and 119,990 rubles for the 42 mm version. Obviously, you should immediately replace the belt; accessories made of leather, branded or Hermes will do. I liked the new strap the most, it’s called Manchette, three leather colors, it’s a pity that it’s only available in versions for 38 mm watches. Costs 62,990 rubles, shipping in the company’s online store is possible within 3-4 weeks.

Please note that in ceramic watches and in stainless steel models the display is covered by sapphire - in the other series 2 it is tempered ION-X glass.


Here beautiful gallery When the opportunity arises, I will also take photographs of ceramic watches live on my hand.





4. Probably everyone has already heard about the interesting technology of pushing water out of the watch speaker? There is a membrane on the speaker, an unpleasant sound is heard, the membrane vibrates, water is pushed out.


This is what it looks like.

Before water procedures, you need to swipe your finger from bottom to top across the display, a menu will appear with the charge level, activation of airplane mode, “Find iPhone”, and a drop will be drawn right there. Before starting a workout in the pool, you press, the watch screen stops responding to water, to unlock it you need to turn the crown. It is during this process that a “pushing” sound is heard. I believe in next iPhone something like this may appear along with full protection from water. But the watch is already not afraid of any water and any water procedures, both those who swim in the pool and young parents will like it; you can bathe your child and not take off your Apple Watch (don’t miss calls, notifications, conversations, etc.).




5. As you know, the first generation watches also remained on the market; they now have a processor and GPU from series 2, but there is no such protection against water or GPS. Apple estimated the difference between the series at almost ten thousand rubles, for example, the aluminum Apple Watch series 1 38 mm with a sports strap costs 24,990, series 2 - 33,990 rubles. Some models are only available as series 2, for example the stainless steel version with bracelet.


The price of this version is 87,990 rubles (42 mm), I like this option the most - I wore it for a year, the strap was scratched, but you can feel the watch on your hand. There is no such feeling with a silicone strap.

6. After the presentation, many acquaintances and friends asked to tell us more about the watches created together with Nike - apparently, this is someone’s nostalgia for the old days, Nike bracelets, Nike sensors for the sole. Once upon a time, Nike accessories worked with iPod players, and updates in this area were talked about at presentations - it is quite logical that in 2016 everything returned to normal and another joint device appeared. The watch has an interesting shell with different motivational inscriptions, its own straps, and its own name – Apple Watch Nike+. They will go on sale at the end of October. The official page is separate.

It’s an interesting thing for joggers and runners, and I think it will be popular. By the way, haven’t you forgotten that you can only take your Apple Watch and headset on a run and leave your phone at home? You can listen to tracks saved in the watch's memory.


7. The set of straps remains the same, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Sports straps are simple, leather straps wear out quite quickly when worn actively, the metal bracelet is good, but gets scratched, a strap “with a modern buckle” has appeared, where a magnet is hidden under the buckle - girls will like this. Classic! By the way, it costs 20,290 rubles.


One that I personally really like is the Milanese mesh bracelet, which is always a good solution.


The woven nylon options look nice in photos, but I don't like them at all in real life. In general, the choice is yours, but for girls I would recommend a leather and Milanese bracelet, for boys - a mesh bracelet, a block bracelet and a sports strap for gym activities. If you have money, you can buy Hermes straps; the classic Simple Tour for a 42 mm watch costs 32,990 rubles. Good decision for all occasions.

8. Series 2 added GPS, a convenient solution not only for hiking, but also for the city - if you don’t want to spend money on roaming, in theory GPS can help. But, of course, the function will be of greater interest to those who play sports, walk and run a lot, including over rough terrain.

9. The brightness of the display has been increased, which has affected the behavior of the watch in the sun - it is easier to read information.






10. If you ask, why buy an Apple Watch at all, I’ll just shrug my shoulders - here everyone decides for themselves what and how to do. There are a number of situations when a smart watch is more interesting than a regular watch, from traveling (no need to rearrange, you can see the time in another city) to the gym: heart rate, calories, training programs. Of course, there is a limitation: the watch needs to be charged every evening, and series 2 is no exception. If there are a lot of notifications, then by nine o’clock in the evening I put it on charge. In the city, you can get by with a regular watch, especially if you get tired of notification trolling and vibration on your wrist - by the way, I also notice it later when I wear a simple mechanical watch. Virtual vibration, latent expectation of notifications, what other gadgets to surround yourself with so as not to miss a like on Facebook. This infuriates many people and makes them abandon their smartwatches, although after a simple setup only important notifications will appear. And what I especially like about Apple Watch is that I no longer miss calls.

I encourage Apple Watch owners to comment - how do you like the update? Will you be replacing your old watch with a new one? What should Apple do with the series 3 to grab your attention? All the comments are very interesting, as always.

The disappointment experienced by many when it became possible to compare Apple Watch 2 and 3 is easily understandable. Considering the early and widely publicized announcement of a new product designed to bring smart watches to a fundamentally new level. After all, the main function for residents of many countries was simply inaccessible.

Smartwatches are still available in two versions:

  • 38 mm;
  • 42 mm.

According to polls, no one would like to change this.

Comparison of new smartwatches with watch Gear no longer seems appropriate, since the new version of iWatch 3 turned out to be as close as possible to its predecessor.

Design

Interestingly, a distinctive design detail of the case of models equipped with an LTE module is the color of the top of the Digital Crown wheel in red.

The update, mainly in the variety of colors, affected the watch cases as a whole, as well as the straps for them, the most suitable width for which is still considered 22 mm, and the straps themselves continue to be made from:

  • skin;
  • of stainless steel.

News accompanying the appearance of the iWatch 3 model

It is worth noting that the iPhone for the third model is still needed to create a pair.

An unexpected and new decision by Apple was the discontinuation of iWatch 2 from sale and production, so that soon comparison of the two versions will become meaningless. Users will have to return to reviews of the first version of the smartwatch, which is easy to distinguish from the third, but disappointing, since in many ways it is outdated.

Device performance updates

As for the electronic filling, comparing the Apple Watch Series 3 with the Series 2 version of the smart watch, the following can be considered the most significant changes:

  1. Increase in RAM from 512 to 768 MB.
  2. Upgrading the dual-core processor from S2 to the base of the third generation architecture, which speeds up the performance of the smartwatch by 70%.
  3. The iWatch operates under control operating system WatchOS 4, which replaced WatchOS 3 from the previous version of smart watches.
  4. IN Wi-Fi work and Bluetooth noticeable significant acceleration while reducing their energy consumption by almost half.

Barometric altimeter

The barometric altimeter, in comparison with Apple Watch 2 vs Apple Watch 3, added points to the third smartwatch against the earlier version, and with its help it is possible to:

  1. Keep a count of the flights of stairs climbed.
  2. Track routes.
  3. Accurately detect differences in height differences, which should especially appeal to athletes and fans healthy image life.


Intelligent assistant

The Siri assistant was also present in previous version smartwatches, but the difference between them and the latest development is that Siri can speak out loud.

Waterproof

Similar to the previous Series 2 model, the 3rd generation Apple smartwatch belongs to the category of waterproof electronic devices, the hull of which is protected at a depth of up to 50 meters.

Based on this, according to the official explanations of the company, they can be used in the following conditions:

  1. Shallow dives, for example when swimming in the sea or pool.
  2. Walking or running in the rain.

The results of water resistance tests also impose a number of restrictions on the use of the watch so that it does not stop functioning properly:

  1. You should not leave them on your hand when scuba diving.
  2. The device must not come into contact with water when high speed, as, for example, happens when water skiing.

It's important to note that water resistance, according to the new watch water resistance standard ISO 22810:2010, only applies to the watch case, while leather or stainless steel straps are not water resistant.

So in this regard, there is simply no difference between Apple Watch 2 and 3.

Offline mode

In terms of battery life, the new smartwatch remains unchanged compared to the earlier version - 18 hours on a single charge, provided the device is used in mixed mode.

Comparison results Apple Watch 2 vs 3

To summarize about smartwatches, we can say that comparing devices by main and additional characteristics for the current and previous versions of the watch may not be as bright as expected.

Structured information on the differences between smartwatch models 2 and 3 is available in the following table:

Series 3 GPS Series 3 GPS+LTE Series 2
Initial cost 38mm $ 329 $ 399 $ 369
Initial cost 42mm $ 359 $ 429 $ 399
Housing material Aluminum Aluminum Aluminum
Back material Combined Ceramics Combined
Memory 16 GB 32 GB 8 GB
Waterproof Yes, up to 50m Yes, up to 50m Yes, up to 50m
Offline mode No Yes No
CPU S3 S3 S2
Display brightness 1000 cd/m² 1000 cd/m² 1000 cd/m²
GPS Yes Yes Yes
WiFi Yes Yes Yes
Bluetooth Yes Yes Yes
Altimeter Yes Yes No
operating system watchOS 4 watchOS 4 watchOS 4
Claimed battery life 18 hours 18 hours 18 hours

In addition, one cannot help but admit that due to the presence or absence of a key innovation - the LTE module - the difference between the Apple Watch Series 2 and 3 for different countries is quite significant.

Design

Changes appearance smartwatches are more cosmetic - they still have a rectangular rather than round screen, but they have become a little sleeker and more modern. However, from a distance it will be difficult to distinguish the second-generation gadget from its predecessor - minus one reason to buy the Apple Watch Series 2. The Digital Crown has also not changed.

Color options: steel, dark gray steel, aluminum, dark gray aluminum, gold, rose gold, and new Apple model Watch Edition in pearl white ceramic case. The watch is completely protected from water getting inside - the watch will survive immersion to a depth of 50 meters. This was achieved thanks to a new microphone and speaker design.

There will also be a special version of the Apple Watch 2 Nike+ for running athletes. Apple was helped with this by specialists from Nike. A unique strap was developed for the “sports” version.

Apple Watch 2 comes in the same two sizes - with screens diagonal 38 and 42 mm. The resolution is the same: 272x340 pixels and 290 ppi for the younger version, 312x390 pixels and 302 ppi. An AMOLED matrix is ​​used - the same type as the Apple Watch, but almost twice as bright (1000 nits). The Force Touch pressure recognition function and gesture control are present.

Smartphone independence

Apple Watch Series 2 gained greater independence from the iPhone. First of all, Apple’s smartwatches have a built-in GPS module, which means the gadget will be able to independently and fairly accurately determine the owner’s location on the map, calculate the path traveled, distance and other activity parameters. At the same time, the charge of the smartphone is saved, which, as you know, with GPS turned on, very quickly loses a percentage of energy.

Apple Watch Series 2 will also be able to connect to any Wi-Fi network, not just those networks that the iPhone paired with it has already used. The Find My Watch feature will be able to find a device by triangulating the signal from Wi-Fi routers. It's a small thing, but nice.

But you still won’t be able to make and receive calls with the Apple Watch Series 2 without a smartphone. Virtual support e-SIM SIM cards were not implemented in the gadget, unlike Samsung Gear S3. However, Russian users should not be upset - e-SIM is not supported in principle in the country yet.

Autonomy

The new smartwatch has a larger capacity battery - rumored to be 334 mAh versus 245 mAh for its predecessor. A logical solution: the GPS module will consume additional energy, so it is necessary to minimize the consequences of increased energy consumption. So, most likely, the operating time will remain the same - about one day of active use.

Components

Apple Watch 2 has a new processor - the watch runs up to 50% faster. Well, more functions have been added, there are more applications, this is the expected move. Volume internal memory is the same 8 GB. How it is distributed is unclear (in the Apple Watch, only 2 GB were available to the user for music, which is not enough).

GPS, which we wrote about above, was added to the set of sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope, heart rate monitor, light sensor). In addition, there is Bluetooth modules and Wi-Fi.

watchOS 3

Apple Watch Series 2 runs new version operating system, which was also officially presented today.

Apps with watchOS 3 open even faster. Presenting the previous version, they said from the stage: “Now applications open without delay.” OK Apple.

We've already seen everything else: the Scribble handwriting system, the control center with quick settings, Dock panel with closed and favorite applications, SOS function for calling emergency services. We added new dials - without this, of course, there’s nowhere.

And, perhaps, the most anticipated new feature - now you can catch Pokemon directly from your watch. Nintendo has released Pokemon GO for watchOS!
