Yes, I am going to buy an Apple Watch Series 2. The question is of course if the following statement holds: Apple still makes the best smartwatch you can buy, and you still don't need one.

See Ars Technica Review for the full review.
The Good
- Accurate workout tracking.
- Fast and accurate GPS create speed-detailed maps of exercise routes.
- Swim tracking is easy to initiate; water-resistant speakers keep liquid out of the watch.
- Heart rate monitor works even while swimming.
- Haptic feedback in the Breathe app lets you follow guided breathing session with your eyes closed.
- Wheelchair optimization allows disabled users to log activity that's not step-related.
- Scribble makes it super easy to write short text messages on the watch's screen.
The Bad
- No auto-tracking activity feature.
- Cannot natively track sleep.
- Mapped routes cannot be viewed on the watch itself, only in the Activity app.
- Third-party apps are hit or miss.
- Battery life is better than the original watch, but still not nearly as good as other fitness trackers.
The Ugly
- The high price tag may deter some who just want a good fitness device, which can be purchased for less.
