Widgets!

With Android you still get funky useless widgets!

Don't forget the amazingness of customizable widgets!

...and side-loadable malware!!

And a back button!! My brother in law switched from android to iPhone, loved it, then switched back because the iPhone doesn't have a back button... lol

But it does, you just swipe right from the left side to go backwards. Doesn't that count? I find that to be a far more elegant action than cluttering your phone with extra buttons. Did he try that and just not like it?

This is nice and all, but they're unfortunately just a little late to the party for my wife and I. She's had hers since the original launch and I've had a Nike+ since its launch. We cancelled our Spotify accounts and have had Apple Music all this time on the  Watch. As much as we liked Spotify, we are now thoroughly entrenched in Apple Music and are loving it.

Well I can report a genuine number ... I bought the wife 1!  

BTW she didn't think she wanted one, now I could't pry it from her wrist if I wanted to ... she loves it.

Haha, mine too! 😆👍🏻 I splurged on the Nike+ and she inherited my old launch  Watch. I use mine for pretty much everything it can do, but so far she is just using the workout app and notifications.

The rotating bezel just makes way more sense.

The rotating bezel is nice, but does a round display over a rectangle for a device who's primary purpose in being "smart" is for quick glances of text? There's a reason why certain things have been made round over the years. With watches, it's because the hands turn in a circle from a center point, not because the design of the arm demands it to be round.

Wow, you're completely off... primary purpose is a WATCH.  EVERYTHING else is secondary.  Icons, etc display just fine.  Text on a postage stamp size screen (round or square) is just ridiculous.

I disagree. My Apple Watch is as much a "watch" as my iPhone is just a "phone." In this day and age, our smart devices are SO much more than any linear, traditional designation. 

My Nike+ is in the mail, and up until this day my launch-week original  Watch battery lasts me the entire day and well into the night before requiring a charge. I am expecting to get slightly better performance from the Series 2, but even stil, it is simply great. And it charges fast, anyway. Looking forward to the GPS, but the main reason I chose the Nike+ was purely aesthetic. Thank you Neil, for an in-depth and informative review. My anticipation for mine to arrive is now even more voracious.
