While the original Apple Watch was splash-proof, the all-new Apple Watch Series 2 is fully water-resistant up to 50-meters to make the device ideal for avid swimmers and aquatic athletes. This water-resistant design is made possible with a speaker system that's designed to use the very assembly itself to push water out once the device is no longer submerged.
The smartwatch features a new dual-core processor that's purported to provide up to 50% more power than the previous model. A new graphics chip within the smartwatch doubles the graphics power of the first-generation Apple wearable.
Built-in GPS allows the smartwatch to be used on runs and during activity without having to carry an iPhone as well. The screen on the smartwatch is boasted by Apple to be twice as bright as the original Apple Watch for easy viewing in direct sunlight.
The Apple Watch Series 2 is available in a variety of different styles and options including the new Ceramic model.
