For now, there are no killer features that make me want to upgrade from my
Series 1 Gen 1. I typically have my phone with me when I cycle or walk so no need for the GPS. Waterproofing would be nice for when I do pool workouts but I can live without it. The the rest of thew new features would also be nice but I just can't justify the upgrade price for what I would be getting.

I would be shocked if the GPS didn't quickly drain the battery. When I used to use my MS Band's built-in GPS, a half hour of bicycle riding would drain about 1/4 to 1/3 of the battery life. It dwindled very quickly. I'm very curious to see how the GPS in the Series 2 performs.
