While both of Apple’s watches will run watchOS 3, the older one can be upgraded to have the same dual-core CPU as the latest Apple Watch Series 2. The most significant difference between the two is the waterproofing capability of the Series 2.

If you are in the market for a smartwatch, you are in luck, the opportunity to acquire one just presented itself: Apple has released the next generation of the Apple Watch, the Series 2 along with specialised one which comes branded with Nike.

Not only does it look fabulous you can also do your workout routines with it, including swimming.

Although the new Apple Watch Series 2 looks very similar to its predecessor, with its same size screen and support for the same wristbands, the second generation sports a brighter screen and is a lot more durable. The difference between the two watches is clear shown in the performance department.

Squarely aimed at the fitness conscious, the watch shows you calories burnt, lap count, total distance covered in yards and elapsed time. It looks exactly like the older version with one key difference: you can now swim with it.

The built-in speaker has been retooled to eject water after a swim. This happens automatically when you end the swim workout app.

With this new version, Apple has released the watchOS3, which now shows off a completely revamped UI and a promise of increased performance improvements.

Apple’s first generation watch will also receive the watchOS3 while it will see its price drop to $269.

Significantly, for old Apple watch consumers, they will also receive an upgrade to a dual core processor, just like the one which runs Apple Watch Series 2.

This makes the newer watch a must buy only for those who are looking for a waterproof capabilities.
