Apple Watch 2 release date, specs rumors update: Next gen tech watch built for athletes?

A lot have already been reported about the new Apple Watch 2. It has been a favorite subject of several rumors and speculations online; however, Apple has continued to stay mum about its Apple Watch 2 development. The company has yet to confirm these rumors. Nonetheless, it did not bother the tech observers as they continue to share their own predictions about the second generation Apple smart watch. According to the latest report, the new wearable device will carry a swim tracking chip along with a new GPS feature.

If rumors prove to be true, the Apple Watch 2 will be launched in September along with other Apple devices including the highly anticipated iPhone 7, MacBook Pro 2016, MacBook Air 2016 and iPad Mini 5. According to reports, the Cupertino-based company will host an event next month to showcase all their upcoming releases this year.

This new report backs the previous rumors that the next Apple Watch will no longer depend on the capability of the iPhone smartphone. This is definitely good news for fitness fans who would rather want to not bring their phone when tracking their daily runs.

The second gen Apple Watch is definitely built for athletes who would love to track their work rate. Another feature will be the swim tracker, which could suggest that the device has a better waterproofing technology.

Meanwhile, tech experts have started to express some concerns with regard to Apple Watch 2. According to reports they are not much enthusiasm coming from fans about its upcoming release. One of the reasons for the lack of interest is the launching of the new iPhone smartphone. The flagship handset could overshadow the release of the new Apple Watch.

As of the moment, Apple has yet to make an official announcement with regard to Apple Watch 2. However, many fans believe that it is only a matter of time before the company makes an announcement.
