Yeah took mine off charge at 7am this morning and leaving it off till it dies to see how long I get out of one charge
Should be interesting, Approx. 20% over 13 hours, not really a good rate so far.

The series 1 has the same water resistance rating, the same memory, and the same chipset as the Series 2, oh and a slightly better battery, though not as good as the series 2 battery. As I do not need the GPS tracking in the watch, I went with the Series 1.

I think of the series 1 as the old original model I had and the series 2 the new model I have now with the GPS and waterproofing. I wasn’t aware the series 1 was as similar to the 2 as it is. The processor in the Apple Watch is fairly substantial. I’ve seen some videos demonstrating running windows on an Apple Watch.;) Thanks for your good information as always.

The series 1 and 2 were released in fall 2016. Both the new models have identical internals in terms of speed and power, so should respond pretty much the same, which is faster than the old first generation but not blazing fast. At least, that's what I've found in my limited testing (I still own a first ten and have only briefly tried the new models). The main things with the series 2 over the 1 are the GPS, better waterproofing, and brighter screen. The series 1 is as water-resistant as the old first generation, while the series 2 is good for swimming and other full water activities which could threaten a first gen or series 1. As far as I know, the water resistance is identical on the series 1 and first generation; the difference between those is more the processor. Is the series 2 worth it? Well, you could sync over some music, then use bluetooth headphones and walk/run with only the Watch, no phone. The 2 has GPS so will handle that just fine. It's also good for swimmers, or anyone who regularly submerges their hands in water. But the series 1 is fine if you don't want stand-alone GPS or the advanced waterproofing. In theory, it will be just as responsive as a series 2. Again, this is all just from my understanding after reading a lot of reviews and informational articles. I use a first generation daily, and haven't found a compelling reason to upgrade yet. But if mine broke like Donna's I'd probably go for a series 1 since I don't do much swimming and always carry my phone. Then I'd do the higher-end model when the next upgrade comes out. But that's just me. -- Alex Hall On Feb 12, 2017, at 19:11, Sarai Bucciarelli <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Get the series 1 from Target.

For an additional $170 I can get a second GEN watch. Here's my question. Is there any reason to get the second generation over the series one? Obviously there's the waterproofing issue. But I'm wondering about how much the addition of the GPS matters. There's $100 difference between the series one and the second GEN, so the series one is tempting. If people feel that the dish in of the GPS chip is important, could you tell me why? Also, on a much more basic level, I need to repair my existing watch, which I'm still using. What's the command for turning on VoiceOver? Thanks, Donna Sent from my iPhone -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
