Apple has released the next version of the Apple watch with quite a few upgrades. To start off , as you might have guessed from the title, The Apple watch v2.0 is waterproof up to 50 meters of water. This is great for swimmers as they can do all the stuff they could do on land , in water. The Apple watch even has two separate options for this. An option for swimming pools and then an option for open water i.e lakes and oceans.
Apple also changed the screen on this years model and they claim that this display is 2 times brighter than its predecessor offering up to 1,000 nits of brightness. Apple also claims that this is the brightest display that they have used in any of their devices.
