Worth the Wait? Apple Watch Series 2 Review
By Daniel Rasmus
When Tim Cook unveiled the original Apple Watch in April of 2015, I took one look at my heavy, cameraless first-generation iPad and decided to wait, knowing that the next iteration of the smartwatch would be far superior. Fast-forward to last October, and I was walking into an Apple Store intent on buying a 42 mm Apple Watch Series 2 as an early birthday present to myself. When they didn’t have any in stock, I ordered online and waited. I have now had my new watch for a month, and am thoroughly enjoying my new companion. Over the last few years I stopped wearing watches, but I wear my Apple Watch all day, every day. Visually, the Apple Watch Series 2 looks the same as the original, except it gained a bit of girth (0.9 mm) and weight (3.2 grams). The crown and button positions remain unchanged.
