While criticisms on the Apple Watch continue to mount from competitors, it is clear that there are plans to create a second edition and release it sometime June or September. Now, as WWDC draws closer, more attention is being focused o the Apple Watch 2 and what new features and sensors it could bring with it.

One reason why Apple is concentrating on bringing out an Apple Watch 2 is because the first edition, which released last year, did very well. Referring to the success of the Apple Watch in an interview, Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, noted how people will ultimately wonder why they ever had any doubts about the device. He also went on to place the Apple Watch on par with the iPod and iPhone and stated that although they were viewed with skepticism initially, they went on to become "overnight success" stories. Cook also indicated that when it comes to the design and the features of the Apple Watch 2, they are only going to get better.

As for the release date of the Apple Watch 2, Cook did not provide any information about it but stated that they are still learning a lot about the device. He also indicated that when it comes to the wearable, Apple knows a lot more now than it did a year ago.

Given that Apple is playing its cards close to its chest and not unveiling any information about the release date of the Apple Watch 2, the rumor mills have been running overtime. Most of the rumors about the Apple Watch 2 relate to its release date, but there is also a lot of attention being focused on what improvements that could arrive with it. Many industry analysts are expecting that Apple Watch 2 will release with a FaceTime camera, an improved processor, and cellular connectivity. The rumor that the watch will come with an eSIM or an inbuilt SIM has particularly caused a lot of excitement among users and the public as this could mean that the device will be faster and will be able to operate independently from the paired iPhone.

More news and updates on the Apple Watch 2 should arrive soon.
