Here’s Why the New Apple Watch Is So Much Better Than the Last One
These new features just might make you wanna strap one on.
The new Apple Watch, like the new iPhone 7, made a major media splash for being waterproof. But those swept up by the fanfare may have overlooked why the Apple Watch Series 2 is so much better than the last version.
Unlike the first generation of smartwatches, it has an embedded GPS microchip. This not only fixes a grievance many had with the first but it also makes it a choice purchase for runners, who will no longer have to bring their iPhones when they need directions on a jog.
Of course, there are plenty of other nifty upgrades to fawn over: the new displays are twice as bright, a dual-core chip keeps it running faster than ever, and, of course, it’s water resistant down to 150 feet.
