The Apple Watch Series 2 will be available in Aluminium and stainless steel variants like the previous version and also in a new ceramic variant but not in the gold variant, as of now.
Apple’s CEO Tim Cook started the iPhone 7 announcement by making gamers very happy with news of Nintendo’s Mario and Pokemon Go coming to iOS and Apple Watch. Yes, Pokémon Go is coming to your Apple Watch. The latest version will also include a built-in Global Positioning System, allowing exercise enthusiasts to work out without their phones.
Why does this matter? It doesn’t seem you will be able to catch a Pokemon straight from your Apple Watch, as you will be required to flick out your phone then, but at least you’d be alerted about the nearby monster just in time.
If more iPhone owners use wireless headsets, they may also be likely to try streaming music or other services wirelessly from the Apple Watch, said Carolina Milanesi, a mobile tech analyst at the research firm Creative Strategies. You can pre-order the Apple Watch 2 starting on September 9th. Despite a recent dip in iPhone sales, most Apple watchers don’t expect a big overhaul until 2017, the 10th anniversary of the first iPhone’s release. More performance will make both users and developers happy. The Apple Watch 2 is swim-proof. Training data, including pace, distance and heart rate are available at a glance, and through shared run summaries, the app promotes friendly competition, even allowing users to send fist bumps to each other right from the wrist. Gone is the rarely-used favourite friends, activated by pressing the side button. The app is meant to help you relax and focus by controlling your breathing rate.
