As said earlier, it’s now bigger and brighter in comparison to its predecessor. The screen size now measures 1.74” opposed to the previous’ 1.64”, and is slightly brighter than the predecessor, too: 600 nits vs 500 nits. Makes a difference.

But amid all the pros, it may feel heavier to a slight extent with its 22.5g of weight, but it’s an upgrade, saying that the successor also looks thinner – 9.9 mm compared to previous 11 mm unit – and feels quite modern and fresh.
The battery also lasts a bit longer – 14 days, as per the maker. It comes with up to 100 watch faces and 10 straps: 4 silicone straps, 2 braided straps, 3 leather straps and 1 Milanese which are to be bought separately.
Additionally, it features a bult-in GPS, 5ATM water resistance rating, all-new heart rate and blood oxygen sensors along with an NFC support, which may not be available in international units.
