Poll: ** The Apple Watch Series 2 Thread **

6hrs you got to be kidding, what's the point of viewranger announcement

I guess thats when its on its own but if you was cycling you would have your phone which would do all the hard work.

Correct, however the point about cycling was that the watch is currently really only offering general fitness "activity" tracking and running/swimming but doesn't seem to mention cycling. My current sports watch has a programme for running, running indoors, cycling, cycling indoors and other. More expensive models (not as much as Apple Watch) also offer swimming.

Perhaps they'll add it in via software.

Not sure what you mean, cycling is listed as an activity in the workout app.

 

[Deleted member 651465]

Oh is it? The Verge review seemed to say it was mainly focused on running and that other activities were merely given a second-thought.

 

[Feek]

Yup, I just double checked. I've been using it on watchOS2 and it's still there on 3.

Anyone got shipping confirmation yet?

 

[oneilldo]

Roll on 12:30. I ordered a series 2 aluminium space grey with woven band.

 

[Feek]

Those woven nylon bands are really nice.

I'll just stick with my first gen one, no reason to really upgrade tbh

Nice feature on the series 2, with the screen off slowly rotate the Digital Crown and the screen will fade on, rotate it the other way and it will fade off again.

Much more useful than that stupid time travel thing.

Anyone noticed a speed difference with the dual core if you came from an original Apple Watch?

 

[Rooky007]

Is there no reserve system for these at stores like the iPhones

Honest answer, not really, no. That's comparing it with the original Apple watch with watchOS3 though and I've got my most commonly used apps in the dock so they open straight away.

Today I used my watch in fitness tracker mode for nearly two hours. The heart rate monitor was running but I don't know about the GPS because I was also carrying my phone. I guess there's no way to know what device had the GPS active.

I've just put it on charge and it had only dropped to 74%. With the old watch, at the end of each day, it was normally between 40% and 50%

I need to repeat this but leave my phone at home.

 

[Cosmic182]

Bit of a daft question, but complete Apple Watch n00b. If I left my phone at home and took out my watch, would you still receive the notifications? Txt email etc? Or would I have to have my iPhone near at all times for bluetooth to work...
