I have the original Apple Watch and would like to get a new one but I'm concerned whether or not all my cases would fit the new series 2. I know the bands are interchangeable, just not sure about the cases. Anyone have an answer??
Yes the series 2 is slightly thicker so cases won't fit
Agreed. There is a valid reason but I can't remember without googling it.
TheAW S2 Watches are almost a whole 1mm thicker than the AW and AWS1 and the 42mm AWS2 is a little wider than the AW.
A lot of people wanted a thinner Watch, but even Apple wasn't at the point of developing superior battery tech or electronic wizardry to pull that off. Given Apple's penchant for thinness—maybe next year, lol. The sizes and weights don't bother me a bit, being used and drawn to larger watches.
