 I am curious how many people skipped over the first Apple Watch due to its lack of internal GPS? I may well be a statistical outlier...

Not having GPS didn't really bother me as I always have my iPhone on me. I was able to get a good deal on a brand new space black stainless steel watch with the link bracelet and I've been using my watch daily since I got it. Having GPS would've probably hurt the watch more as it would use more battery life. The newer version looks to have a longer battery life (with that larger battery), but I have no problems lasting the whole day with my watch. Using the sensors is what drains the battery, but I've had no problems using it on my commute (bike ride about 7 miles each way) and also using it for when I jog a few miles the same day. It can get a bit low, but I just throw it on the charging stand and it's good to go after that. When I don't have the sensors running then the battery lasts quite awhile. I have no desire to upgrade to a new watch as I'm happy with mine. It's in great condition as well, very happy with the black stainless steel.
