People who say they have the series 1 in this thread, they don't.
We (myself included) have the series 0.
When the series 2 is launched, they will also launch a series 1 which is faster than the current watch.
BTW - I'm happy with mine and a faster processor, GPS and water proofing isn't enough for me to upgrade.
I think Apple will regard both our versions and the speed bump as Series 1. We (myself included) have the series 0.

It looks as if the OS update will extend the life of the current ones - hope it doesn't knacker the battery however.

I think it's the same form factor. Although the headlines are GPS and Water Resistance, the real step forward will be OS 3 which supposedly will be available for all from the 13th...
I've just found the link - http://www.macrumors.com/2016/09/08/apple-watch-se...It's unusual for Apple to release a second generation product that isn't slimmer, but the battery life must be a big issue with GPS.

I was going to do the same but with the current exchange rate and US sales tax it's about a £75 saving. I will probably buy in the UK to benefit from the better consumer protection (i.e. not just the standard worldwide 1 year Apple warranty)
Don't forget you still have to add tax on to that cost so in NY for example on $399 would add an extra $35 on to the cost. Jordan210 said:

Also, most watches are fairly chunky. Especially the luxury brands. Perhaps Apple aren't too concerned with making it very thin. Personally, I wouldn't want a watch that was too thin. Having said that, there probably is some desirability in having it slightly thinner.It's unusual for Apple to release a second generation product that isn't slimmer, but the battery life must be a big issue with GPS.
I use my original version everyday and do t get the whining about battery. I charge it each night and very rarely is it at less than 50%.
My phone stays in my pocket most of the time. Texts, whatsapp etc all come through to the watch.
Whe. I leave the house I tap a button on the watch and it turns off all the lights and TVs, drops the thermostat a few degrees, and locks all the doors. When I pull on to the drive it does the opposite.

The more I look into this, the more I like it. Especially paired with those new fancy wireless Airpods.
Music at the gym, no phone, no wires, no iPod, just your watch. Which is doing its fitness thing at the same time.
Am I missing something?
How far from my iPhone can I expect to be able to be before losing connection?

You'd have thought something without the weight of a cable attached to the bottom would be better than those with, no?

Expect no more than 10m.Edit - just read the bit about wifi. That's good!
So in theory you'd still get notifications and everything that being connected to your phone offers if you're on a wifi network.

It also works anywhere on the same WiFi network, which might work better for you. Gassing Station | Computers, Gadgets & Stuff | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
