Apple Watch 2 Release Date, News: Invites Sent For March 21 Event, New WatchOS Hoped For From 'Let's Loop You In'

Apple Watch 2 announcement is anticipated to happen during the technology giant's March 21 event. Followers are eager to know what Apple Watch 2 brings should watch out for WatchOS details on March 21.

News hints have been placing the Apple Watch 2 unveiling alongside those of iPhone 6c and the iPad Air 3. According to MacWorld, the Apple event lodged for March 21 uses the tagline "Let us loop you in." Given that the first generation Apple Watch was introduced in a similar event under the tagline "1 Infinite Loop," the March 21 event elevates expectations for the new Apple WatchOS.

Definitely, news about the new line of bands for the Apple Watch 2 are among the highlights Apple aficionados are waiting to hear. Hopes for new offerings included in the Apple Watch 2 had been heightened by news that the Cupertino-based company filed a patent called " Magnetic Wristband." With a magnetic band feature, Apple Watch 2 will allow more flexibilities to the user beyond what the Milanese Loop currently offers.

In terms of actual release and delivery of the Apple Watch 2, Quanta chairman Barry Lam remains the leading source of hints, given the popular belief that the Chinese manufacturer is responsible for version 2 of the WatchOS. Barry Lam had been cited in saying that Quanta will have a limited Apple Watch 2 stock available by third quarter of 2016. The delivery window for the main bulk of the stock will come in 2017. This supports projections that a March unveiling of the Apple Watch 2 will be followed by a June 2016 release.

Apple Watch wearers are also hoping to see the tech giant address a few specs issues in the first generation Watch OS. While loyal consumers hope to see an ARM Cortex A32 processor in the Apple Watch 2, design flaws undeniably include battery life failings. Still, a few tweaks to the specs can only bring in a stronger contender in the Apple Watch 2.

9to5 Mac reports that Apple is expected to retain a lead in the smartwatch race all the way to 2020. Business Wire says that the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Wearable Device Tracker, however, assures that Android wearables are not all that far behind Apple.
