Apple Watch 2 release date, features, apps and specs

Apple Watch 2

Apple Watch is the solid mid-market offering from Apple and it's unlikely the company will ditch it in the second round.

Apple Watch is available with various styles and colours of wristbands made from fluoroelastomer, leather and steel and we would expect the Apple Watch 2 to add to this, rather than take away from it.

This could include new colours or different designs using the same materials. There is some precedent for this, as Apple has added new colours to the fluoroelastomer bands of the mid-tier Apple Watch incrementally over 18 months it has been on sale and the Apple Watch Herms used an existing material - leather - but in different styles.
