Every time Apple launches a new device, within a few days the first rumors begin to appear that begin to talk about the next version of the device. Although with the Apple Watch, the issue was different since what was rumored was the possible renewal cycle of the device, which should be somewhat longer than the usual iPhone, set at one year. Once it seems that that information was clear, one year, new rumors began to circulate about the new functions and features that this new device would have, along with the possible presentation date, established in March of this same year.
According to conspiracy theorists, the future Apple Watch 2 will integrate a camera to make video calls by FaceTime, better Wi-Fi coverage of the device, along with new sensors, a faster processor and all with the same current resolution and screen size, no round Apple Watch or anything like that, like the Moto 360 of first and second generation.
According to the Commercial Times publication, the production of the second generation Apple Watch 2, will start at the Quanta facility in a couple of weeks, before the end of January, thus preparing to present the device in March and put it on sale almost immediately. Quanta is the Apple supplier in charge of assembling the components of the first generation Apple Watch, so it is more than likely that it has also been in charge of the second generation of it. However, Apple could also use Foxconn, Inventec and Winstron in case it is necessary to expand the production capacity of this device.
Other rumors suggest that the new Apple Watch may add new sensors that would allow measure blood pressure and oxygen in the blood, in addition to monitoring sleep, something that can already be done with third-party applications, but Apple would have the intention of doing it natively without having to resort to third parties.
A watch that is dependent on the phone is useless, you are going to run or walk and if a call comes in you cannot answer it if you do not carry your phone!
I have bought the Fitbit Surge because the Apple Watch I do not believe that even in 3 more versions it has what I need, integrated GPS, 5 ATM waterproof and a battery that lasts 7 days.
well, I bought the apple watch about a month ago or maybe 2, if it is true that it depends on the iPhone, however it is only understandable for someone in the apple ecosystem. What improvements would it pose for version 2, a built-in gas, increased water resistance and increased battery life. The camera is really too much, that of making video calls I do not see so much need, because the truth is that it tires me to have the clock raised. I use it as a fine accessory, complement to iPhone notifications like reminding me to drink water, messages, emails and exercise.
