  1. Awesome overview. I don’t really like the sports band but buying a woven
    nylon band is half the cost of the difference between Apple Watch Series 2.
    Tough decision

    • ill take the original apple watch.just to show off i have an apple watch.
      All my friends are dumb and they dont know what version i have.

  2. I have the original Apple Watch, Gold Aluminum Edition. I can not see why
    to really update to newer watch at this time. maybe when we get to series 3
    or 4 but I can not see a good enough reason to do it now!

  3. No video I watched, has the same color combination that I got (Silver
    casing with the pearl woven nylon band) :/ I wanna see what it looks like
    since mine doesn’t come until the first week of October :(

  4. I want to see a video of series 1 and series 2 water test to see if the 50m
    is just a gimmick for series 2 and the series 1 is just as good!

    • I have one, and I’d say it’s worth it to wait for the new one to get
      cheaper as the slowness does get annoying on the original.

  5. So I actually bought the original Apple Watch as opposed to series 1 or
    2…reason being I was waiting to see what they released. I feel as if
    every Apple product is faster than the previous (not a great enough
    reason), I can’t swim to a depth of 50 meters (9 times out of ten I won’t
    even be wearing the watch in a pool or at the beach), and the screen on the
    first was bright enough. And I’m also hoping that they come out with an
    Apple Watch with an LTE chip. That would definitely be worth the upgrade.

  6. Hey nice comparison! Thanks! 🙂 just wondering, is the series 2 still as
    waterproof if the diagnostic port is in contact with water (as in when the
    bands are removed)? Cause’ I’m thinking of taking the bands off to wash it
    under running water after work every day. I work in the hospital so I wanna
    keep it as clean as possible when I’m wearing it at home.
