When it comes to the second-generation of Apple's smartwatch, our preferred configuration is the 42mm aluminium timepiece. Sleek and (dare we say it) sexy, this device boasts an iconic look that's typical of the Apple brand, while it also packs a superb specification. Whether you're obsessed by looks or favour substance over style, you won't be disappointed with our refurbished Apple Watch.
There's no doubt that Apple has sought to claim a distinct market advantage by making its second-generation smartwatch customisable. Make no mistake; however, it's the sleek aluminium case that really catches the eye, particularly when combined with Apple's renowned penchant for bright displays, rounded edges and premium crystal glass. In short, the slimline aluminium frame manages to convey both style and robustness in equal measure, and despite its immense build quality it certainly doesn't appear too heavy on the wrist at 34.2mm.
The new device features a 1.65-inch display with a resolution of 390x312, which represents just an incremental upgrade on the 42mm version of the Apple Watch Series 1. However, Apple has ramped up the brightness configuration to 1000 nits, resulting in improved colour-contrasts and sharper images. You can really see the difference with the 42mm frame, while brighter tones contrast sharply with the sleek black aluminium case.
When it comes to the 42mm aluminium version of Apple's second-generation smartwatch, the larger, 334 mAh power pack provides an estimated two days of moderate use on a single charge. This is more than adequate when you consider the unique functionality of smartwatches, while it's quite remarkable given that the 42mm iteration is only six grams heavier than the 38mm alternative.
Smartwatches and phones are constantly being described as providing an 'immersive' experience, but in the case of the Apple Watch Series 2 this concept has been elevated onto a whole new level! More specifically, the 42mm iteration features a genuinely water-resistant chassis, which can survive and thrive following a plunge in deep waters and also be worn safely when swimming.
With the inclusion of Apple's innovative 'wet mode', the screen on your device will instantly be locked when you enter the water. Touch functionality is also disabled, so that the screen doesn't interpret water splashes as input and start making voice calls while you're underwater!
While the S1 processor featured in the Apple Watch Series 1 was genuinely fit for purpose, the brand realised that an upgrade was required for its second-generation timepieces. Fortunately, the 42mm aluminium watch more than delivers in this respect, as it features the S2, dual-core processor that distinguishes between different tasks and enables users to multitask more effectively however they intend to utilise the device. Even on a fundamental level, you'll be able to navigate the device's numerous menus quickly and effectively, while accessing the main menu barely a second after clicking through the dock button.
Ultimately, we're big fans of the Apple Watch Series 2, both in terms of its specification and the customisation options that have been made available to customers. When it comes to appearance, however, it's hard to top the sleek and stylish aluminium casing, while the 42mm frame also allows for additional display real estate and a much more impressive viewing experience.
If nothing else, you can at least go swimming with the device, which is apt given that the timepiece also benefits from improved sensors that effectively track a host of fitness activities for all occasions!
