According to Apple related websites, the Apple Watch 2 is going to have a new design that is somewhere between the steel original and the much more expensive Apple Watch Edition. Battery life is always a topic of conversation when it comes to smartphones, tablets, laptops and wearables, so there is no reason to think that will not be on a consumer’s radar.
There are many complaints posted online about the Apple Watch not making it passed six at night and that is a problem if you are using it as an actual watch. As the technology for processors gets smaller, it also gets more efficient and that is where the hope for longer battery life comes into play.
Consumers that are hoping for certain improvements have added them to their wishlist which already includes things like waterproof, circular displays as an option, thinner profile and maybe something a little easier to use.
