Apple Watch Series 2: faster and especially seals
In fact obviously the iPhone 7 was center of the attentions of this Keynote of September 7th, but Apple Watch was also renewed to gain new functionality interesting.
The first Apple Watch received a gloomy reception, it was thus important for Apple to re-examine the copy of its watch. It is made thing, the firm announced yesterday Apple Watch Series 2, successor of the Apple Watch which becomes “Series 1” on this occasion. Some hoped to see arriving a round design, it is not for immediately since it takes again the same design strictly that the 1st model, it is inside that there is change.
It is necessary to retain three great innovations for this second series. First of all, the watch is faster thanks to a new Ploughshare “S2”. Apple presents it like twice faster. That too will not be, since one precisely reproached the previous model his many slownesses, in particular at the time of the launching of the applications which could take several long seconds. The screen gains on the way in luminosity: 25% of more according to Apple. Autonomy should be virtually identical to that of the first model.
Second significant component of the new model: sealing. Whereas most manufacturers of connected watches are satisfied with a certification IP68 (when there is one of them) allowing an immersion 1.5 meter during 30 minutes, Apple affirms that its new watch can go down up to 50 meters, they are 20 meters more than Peeble Watch which held, to our knowledge, until now the record. Apple Watch becomes thus a true companion of stroke. Physical-activity which it is from now on able to follow.
Last point: the arrival of a GPS in the watch. In fact, it is thus a little more independent of its iPhone. One will be able to thus devote oneself to his jogging preferred in the pampa without having to transport his iPhone (even if in the event of accident, it is nevertheless better to have it). And since it always integrates 4 Go of storage, you will be able to also benefit from your music. On the other hand, the integration of a chip 4G is still not news.
Initially because Apple Watch Series 1 remains with the catalogue and sees itself provided with the new processor. It thus becomes the model of line entry, available only out of aluminium, for 319 euros. The partnership with Hermes is always of news for series 2 with new bracelets of the leather dealer which make their appearance. Cupertino tied a second agreement with Nike, which more or less takes again the principle of that with Hermes, but more directed Sport with a rubber bracelet inevitably less equipped than at the French.
As regards the Series the 2 prices will begin with 419 euros with a case 38 mm out of aluminum as well as a bracelet Sport or Nylon and 449 euros in 42 mm. Model steel will begin as for him with 649 euros (38 mm) and 699 euros in 42 mm. Ceramics is invoiced 1449 euros as we mentioned it above. The new watch will leave at the same time as iPhone 7: on September 16th, the précommandes will also open the 9.

Gold disappears with the profit from ceramics
Apple obviously realized that an Apple Watch out of Gold 18 carats it was perhaps a little excessive. The material is not available any more, to replace by ceramics, a more hard material “4 times than steel”… and 10 times less expensive (or almost) that gold since it will be sold 1449 euros with a bracelet sport (the only available one). Apple flat gave besides a good part of its range.Initially because Apple Watch Series 1 remains with the catalogue and sees itself provided with the new processor.
