Hi Scott, I didn't know about this distinction either until I was in the Apple store on Saturday. The long and short of it was that they were going to charge me $200 to send my old watch off to Apple to be repaired, and for $270 I could have the second gen series 1. Once I figured out that

According to Apple, the only differences between the series 1 and series 2 are: Series 2 has slightly larger battery, GPS receiver, and the auto-clear function for water in the speaker. The series 1 has the same water resistance rating, the same memory, and the same chipset as the Series 2, oh

Hi Alex, this helps clear up. 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

Just to clarify, the first generation is what I think of when I think of the 2015 Watch. 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

Thanks, David. I didn't realize that the second GEN series one also had better water resistance, that's good to know. Sounds like that's the route I'll be going. Thanks for your input, it's always appreciated. Cheers, Donna Sent from my iPhone > On Feb 11, 2017, at 6:12 PM, David Chittenden

Hey Scott, Thanks for the response. The series one that I was talking about is actually a first GEN, but with the dual core processor, so should theoretically have similar speed to the second GEN. I'm thinking that probably the GPS is not worth the extra hundred dollars that it would cost. And

Hi Donna, I’m not sure it’s worth the money but I’m not sure it’s not, it’s border line. The biggest thing about the series 2 for me is it’s much faster and more responsive than the series 1. It does tend to be very sensitive though in terms of the screen activating. The GPS for me seems
