Q: Apple Watch 2

Personally I hope they stay away from the forward facing FaceTime camera.

Time would be much better spent on waterproofing and battery charge time improvement

Apple Watch Sport 42mm, iOS 9.3.2

    Hi

     

    If you would like to suggest that Apple considers adding (or not adding) particular features to future models, you can do so here:

    Well the front facing camera is probably never going to happen as apple said they want to steer away from that.  Its interesting that you bring up water proofing, as it is already water resistant meaning it is water proof apple just doesn't want to be liable if water somehow gets in.  They even recommend you wash it with water.  Battery will not be upgraded however the chip will use the battery way more effectively and efficiently making it seem like the battery was completely redesigned.

     

    Hope this helped!

    Well water-proof and water resistant are actually two very different types of  specification. Differnet in the sense that if there are two brown sticky cylindrical shaped objects on the floor, one has steam coming off and the other has leaves attached, you would not want to pick up the one that is  hot. So if it says water resistant then you most  certainly would  not want to go swimming with it on!!

    I can assure you if WAS water proof than Apple would of released it with the water proof depth hallmark and a fitness workout app, so people could take it in the swimming pool. I happen to find it interesting you didn't know the difference. I can only pray your well informed about the FaceTime camera. Cheers

    I'm not sure why you are surprised he didn't know the difference, he is a volunteer here like everyone else. Apple might be able to raise the water-resistance rating but I doubt the Watch will ever be waterproof as very few watches in existence are.
