Apple Watch Series 2 features a number of upgrades over the original model, most notably bringing built-in GPS and water resistance to 50-meters. It also sports a new dual-core processor. You can count on iPhone notifications, heart rate monitoring and all of the features from the previous generation too.

You’ll want a new strap or band for your Apple Watch. Skip out on the pricey official models and go for some of our favorites for much less:

Built-in GPS. Water resistance to 50 meters. A new lightning-fast dual-core processor. And a display that’s two times brighter than before. Full of features that help you stay active, motivated, and connected, Apple Watch Series 2 is designed for all the ways you move. Apple Watch Series 2 has a water resistance rating of 50 meters under ISO standard 22810:2010. This means that it may be used for shallow-water activities like swimming in a pool or ocean. It is also safe to wear it while showering or in a hot tub. However, Apple Watch Series 2 should not be used for scuba diving, waterskiing, or other activities involving high-velocity water or submersion below shallow depth.
