youtube Gareth it and I'm bringing you a
review i've been waiting two years to do
this because a couple of years ago I
walked out the watch and it wasn't that
good so the apple watch series 2 is here
and with gps on board waterproofing
faster processor a better screen and the
same price
this could be the watchtowers you make
smile which is you know a thing
so let's delve inside and see if that's
actually true
let's kick off with the design of the
Apple watch series 2 and as you can see
it's very similar to before the fact is
actually nearly identical apart from the
fact is one millimeter thicker that's
because that was trucked in the GPS chip
in there and the larger battery so
technically actually quite a decent
achievement have the same frame and howl
extra features in there the hormones for
the back is exactly the same that hasn't
changed
that's unfortunate because it wasn't
that great last time around on the side
here we've got the speaker's now these
are clever because these speakers
actually inject water we haven't managed
to make them do it yet exactly but when
you supposed to watch and you want to
turn it back on again to get the water
out and makes a funny little noise and
then apparently water can actually drop
out the side that's pretty cool i like
it when don't know do stuff that pops up
in terms of the screen app was going for
the same curved OLED design that goes
into a square shape and while it's not
much different the screen brightness is
improved that's a thousand minutes which
doesn't mean much to most people in real
terms that means in the bright sunlight
you can see exactly what's on the screen
that's exactly what happened during the
review every time I look at this watch
every time flick my wrist I can see
everything you want to see it but see it
absolutely clearly like looking at in a
dark room so that wasn't exactly the
right thing there in terms of making
that a lot more nice to look at in terms
of the snappiness of this thing that was
pushed in a joke or process which means
it's fifty percent faster than the apple
watch series 1 now the day-to-day use
doesn't really make a lot of difference
but when you're stepping around the
watch opening closing different apps
there is a definite change the way the
speed things works also when you put the
watch down and lift it back up again the
race to wake is definitely a bit quicker
it's a little more accurate and so
what's annoying that the Apple hasn't
put an always-on display so you can
always see time raising your wrist to
have a look at it means that as a no 99
times out of a hundred whenever I flip
my wrist it turned on the straightaway i
found it didn't really
aight anywhere near as much did the
apple watch series 1 any regular viewers
a tech Raiders reviews on youtube will
see that I love running i love fitness
gadgets i love wearables and I run
everyday so therefore i need to watch
that can keep up with that was put GPS
in this thing which means that finally
it could be a watch so i can wear
without the phone strapped to my wrist I
just want to go out for a quick run it
works really well now the GPS on this is
very accurate at that was gone for like
GPS but glowing us as well which is the
Russian satellite so it's got more
satellites they can actually paying from
and i found the accuracy to be actually
superb the if you benchmark against the
garment which i used a two-day or tomtom
or powder it was almost identical you
know there's some small variations but
it was pretty much identical but even
that was only using the basic quick
start work out the issue I've got it I
don't know when this thing is connected
to gps apple says that the whole idea is
that you just fire up this app click
click a button and off you go now that's
a problem because i want to know that
I'm actually getting accurate tracking
because yeah apple tells me that sure it
can use accelerometers to work out
exactly how far I'm going before it gets
the gps I'd love to know exactly when
that GPS is in there when i'm getting
actual accurate data but like i said i
couldn't really fault it during the
whole course of the testing this day
after day it was perfect at all the
distances were nearly $PERCENT accurate
and yeah I think that was a really great
job in making this a good running watch
the problem apples got is that right now
only the workout app its own stock out
can really make use of this GPS chip
there any other apps that i can use to
say hello to my favorite websites to my
own services i use to track my running
Apple's workout is really basic and
while yeah it's good for a lot of people
it's not good enough for everybody so
the heart motor on the Apple watch
series 2 is the same as before you got
the four leds hear that file I below the
skin so you can see exactly what the
policy is doing the idea being that you
don't need a chest strap you can run
along with this watch and it's perfectly
good at telling you how fast your heart
beating
it's really terrible the apple watch
series one wasn't any good and the
airport series 2 is equally the same i'm
running along of starting a run and it's
saying straightaway I'm going miles i'm
going to the absolute maximum I'm
jogging along there was something just
really sad about the fact that you just
couldn't get it
and while I know there's some variation
somebody might find it's easier than
others
this is definitely the polish swatches
I've seen in terms of heart rate monitor
rings and you know the only way to make
it really effective is your chest strap
which you can connect to
Apple really still needs to improve that
technology one of the new features of
watch rs3 which comes to both of the
watches but he's really good in the
world series 2 is breathe now this is
just a really simple way to make your
little more relaxed day to day he just
decides to breathe for a minute two
minutes have long you want so you said
that you start and it would just
literally get you to focus your
attention on your breath and then the
watch has a lovely little haptic
feedback underneath that vibrates to let
you know to breathe in and breathe out
I found myself actually getting quite
excited when the breed that would pop up
and say it's time to do this because
it's so different to the haight looks
not moving now because who cares about
moving and breathing you can do it
anywhere and it really kind of relaxes
you and give you a heart rate the end so
it's almost like a school that you can
try and better every single time
competitiveness during relaxation that's
something i like one of the big things
that was how to improve but then it
secretly is the battery life
improvements because yes the chassis is
the same shape but there's a bigger
battery in there and it's got GPS so
this battery life has to be better
the good news is it really is so using
the watch for three-and-a-half hours on
a run about fifty percent bachelors
that's incredible so it means that you
could run for seven hour marathon and
you still have just enough left we did
turn off the hot water to see just how
far we could eat out so even with all
the functions running that means you
could probably get four and a half five
hours are running with this watch
that's very good on top of that that
means if you don't want every day which
let's be honest most people don't and
shouldn't you can actually get i'd say
at least two days worth of battery life
i ran a 5k and then another 5k the next
day and a little top-up run I still
managed 42 hours a bachelor from charge
to go completely dead and now she is not
true it wasn't completely dead went to
power reserve mode so the watch was
still functioning as a watch until you
can get back to get to the charger so
I'd say this is a two-day back to life
which is oddly an underestimation from
Apple who say you know all day battery
so in terms of the one of the key
features of this watch battery life is
definitely up there so that's the apple
watch series 2 and it's a mixed bag
isn't it because on the one hand instead
of smartwatches that expensive and with
small watches you get notifications of
the rest a few apps
no one really needs it nowadays though
even though things have come forward but
with the running and fitness side of
things apple has push stuff forward the
gps is a very good addition drive is
much improved and waterproofing does
this help durability and he liked to go
swimming that
there to the question is whether you
really need is a device
no it's not it's a luxury item it's it's
a novelty is something you get for
Christmas or birthday and you couldn't
really say necessity of spending all
that money just have it as a an extra
screen for your iphone so if you want it
buy it if you don't feel you really need
it you'll get by without it
so what do you think is the Apple watch
series to the watch for you
