If there is a technological product that still lacks the attention of users, wearables. The Apple company has presented the new version of its smartwatch with the name
Apple Watch Series 2
.
Throughout this year we have seen numerous launches of smartwatches and sports wristbands, but at the moment these products have failed to
awaken the interest of the
conventional
user
.
Technical specifications of the new Apple Watch Series 2.
The most innovative feature of Apple's new smartwatch model is the
incorporation of a GPS
. Recall that the first series lacked GPS. This was necessary, especially if it wants to capture the attention of athletes, an audience that is growing thanks to the fashion runner. It is also equipped with a heart rate sensor.
Another feature that Apple wanted to surprise us with is the
possibility of submerging the smartwatch to depths of 50 meters
. Despite this, I do not think the Apple Watch is the most appropriate smartwatch to practice sports that require going down to those depths, but at least we have guarantees that a dip in the beach or pool will not affect you.
As expected, it comes with the operating system
Watch OS 3
, with all its novelties. As for the CPU, at the moment we only know that it will equip a
dual-core processor
and that the GPU will be more powerful than that of the first series.
Regarding the design of the screen, the rectangular shape is maintained with rounded corners and edges, giving it an urban appearance. It is also an
IP68
screen, the scratch resistance is fundamental in watches. At this point, I was surprised that they did not include the new
Gorilla Glass SR +
specially designed for wearables on the screen.
They have also announced a sport version of the device, the result of collaboration with the famous sports brand Nike. This collaboration is not the first time it happens, we had already seen it in other devices on the block such as the iPod.
The
price of the Apple Watch Series 2 will start at $ 269
and is already available in pre-sale.
