I've had an Apple Watch OG (Series Zero) since May 2015 and absolutely love it. Okay it's not earthshatteringly good, but helping me get fitter and getting my notifications through it as well as control of my podcasts/music on my mobile is priceless.
The NEW Series 2 looks cool, but in all honesty I don't think there is enough of an upgrade from a Series Zero to warrant spending another £399 to get another Sport 42mm. Although I now think the pricing overall is great for new buyers.
38mm Series Zero - £199
38mm Series 1 - £269
38mm Series 2 - £369
Being honest, I think anyone wanting to try it out, it's worth picking up a Series Zero with WatchOS 3 for £199 or even less, brand new.
Is it work spending an additional £170 to make it faster, with GPS and swim-proof....I don't think so.
Also, picking a OG up at £200 or less will mean that most of the depreciation has already happened with the price and I wouldn't be surprised if you would still get a solid £100 for it after a year or two.
Overall, I think the Series 2 looks great, but just isn't a big enough upgrade for exisiting owners of AW. But I'm interested to see what they do next time around, although I seriously doubt they will leave it another 18 months before bringing out Series 3.
