I don't see much difference at all between the Apple Watch and AWS2. Maybe it's the inverse-square law of light, but 1000nits vs 450nit just doesn't give me a visual display that appears 'twice' as bright.
The 2x brightness was the main reason I bought an AWS2 and I was disappointed in the difference, or significant lack of it. I would say do not buy an S2 for the increased brightness. View it as a slight perk. If you don't swim or run, the S2 doesn't have much to offer over an S1 or even the Apple Watch (with wOS3 loaded).
An Nth degree person will appreciate the S2, but for a lot of people the ROI won't be worth it.
