The watch features a 1.5-inch AMOLED display with a peak brightness of 2000 nits, which is brighter and slightly larger than its predecessor, available in stainless steel ($499) or titanium ($599) frames.

While it does not support subscription music or payment systems and has a limited app store focused mainly on sports, it emphasizes performance metrics and personalized coaching.
