Apple’s latest keynote event left tech aficionados buzzing, not just with iPhone news but also with the behold unveiling of the Apple Watch Series 2. In its relentless drive towards innovation, Apple has not only embraced the development of generation-defining smartphones but has also refined and improved its products in the realm of wearables.

Taking a step beyond merely keeping track of your heart rate or delivering messages straight to your wrist, the Apple Watch now boasts of water resistance, making it an ideal companion for aquatic fitness enthusiasts. Specifically designed for swimmers, this new model can resist water ingress up to a depth of 50 meters.

Running on an S2 chip, the watch promises to deliver significantly quicker performance, boasting a speed that’s 50 percent faster than its predecessor. It also has an improved graphics processor, providing users with a smoother and visually pleasing interface.

The Apple Watch Series 2 has also upgraded its display quality, providing a brighter and more vibrant display of 1,000 nits — a substantial upgrade over the original Apple Watch’s display brightness.

In terms of connectivity, the new smartwatch features Wi-Fi and GPS capabilities, with locally stored satellite data for faster location identification. It operates on the latest watchOS 3, and has a unique feature that allows the speakers to eject water each time the user dives underwater.

Although specific details about the watch’s battery life weren’t forthcoming, Apple did reveal that the Watch Series 2 is equipped with a 35 percent larger battery. This, by implication, suggests that users can look forward to longer battery life than what was offered by the original Apple Watch.

Excitingly for fitness and aesthetics enthusiasts, Apple is also set to launch an exclusive Apple Watch Series 2 Nike+ Edition. This special edition features a distinctive Nike Band, a testament to Apple’s collaboration with world-renowned sports brand, Nike.

With regards to pricing, Apple Watch Series 2 will retail at varying prices, depending on the case size and band of your preference. The base model (38 mm), available in gold, rose gold, silver, or space gray aluminum paired with a Sport Band, starts at just $269. The Series 2, available in similar case options but with a broader variety of bands, starts at $369.

In a thrilling piece of news for gaming enthusiasts, Apple also announced that the augmented reality game phenomenon, Pokémon Go, will soon come to the Apple Watch. This will allow users to play the location-based game without having to repeatedly check their iPhone, providing instant notifications when a Pokémon is nearby. This breakthrough should enrich the player’s gaming experience while leveraging the features of the Watch 2 like distance tracking, breathing rate, and calories burned. Thus, the Apple Watch Series 2 and Pokémon Go together are set to redefine not only wearable technology but also mobile gaming.

In summary, the Apple Watch Series 2 enhances its predecessor’s functionality with new features such as water resistance and improved display quality. Besides, its compatibility with Pokémon Go is set to pioneer a novel integration of wearable technology and popular gaming. What a time to be alive!
