Apple unveiled the next-gen Apple Watch Series 2. The company claims that the device is packed with “incredible fitness and health capabilities.” However, all features were shared out loud, apart from the mysterious battery life. The only thing we know for sure is that the device promises to offer up to 18 hours of battery life, as seen previously on the Apple Watch Series 1.
In terms of features, the new model is water resistant for up to 50 metres, rated perfectly for swimming. It can count laps, track average lap pace and auto-detect stroke type to measure active calorie burn.
And for the first time ever, the new Apple Watch comes with a built-in GPS so users can finally run without an iPhone! The new GPS chip promises to accurately track distance, pace and speed for outdoor workouts such as walking, running or cycling, without the need of an iPhone in your pocket. You can leave your iPhone at home and purely depend on the latest smartwatch. In other features, the device uses Wi-Fi, GPS and locally stored satellite data to identify a user’s location as well.
Apple Watch Series 2 is also said to feature a brighter display and a dual-core processor. The new S2 chip is said to increase performance by up to 50 percent. A new GPU has been added as will which delivers up to two-times-greater graphics performance. The Apple Watch Series 2 features a dramatically brighter display at 1,000 nits. It is said to be twice as brighter— making this the brightest display Apple has ever shipped.
If we take into consideration all these new features, it will definitely have a significant impact on the battery. But in the real world, will this be for the better, or for the worse?
Even though we don’t have an exact mAh battery capacity for the device, we do suspect the battery consumption to be increased due to the addition of GPS, as it would aim to bring better location tracking to the device. Additionally, an increase brighter display could also take a toll on the battery.
So if the battery life is in fact comparable to its predecessor, then the new S2 chip would have to be the balancing factor, possibly consuming much lower power, compared to the one used in the original Apple Watch. And given the demonstrated power of this new watch, that’s saying quite a lot.
The real-world battery performance is yet to be seen though. We’ll know more once the device hits people’s wrists over the next several months..
