we call it Apple watch series - and it has been completely re-engineered and it starts with a feature that will change how you use Apple watch the first Apple watch was splash proof an Apple watch series - is swim proof so you can wear it whether you're swimming or surfing or just doing that occasional cannonball you can keep it on it's rated what a resistant 50 meters which is the industry standard for a swim watch but what that means is the watch needs to withstand the pressure the water pressure equivalent of being at a depth of 50 meters and that's pretty deep and it's especially challenging for a SmartWatch because there are so many ingress points so our engineers have been hard at work developing new seals and adhesives and they've been able to close all those entry points except one the speaker you see a speaker needs air to produce sound and if the air can get in soak in the water and that's a problem so for series 2 we redesign the speaker system and at the end of your workout we use the speaker itself to eject the water we've added built in GPS and with Apple watch you can literally hit start and begin your workout and during your workout you'll get GPS accurate pace and distance and at the end of your workout and the activity off of your phone there will be a route map color-coded to show your varying speeds and developers can take advantage of the built-in GPS and like to give you an example of that I'd like to invite to the stage Anna Kettner lead designer for view Ranger I'm here today to show you the Ranger the first-ever hiking up on the new Apple watch we gives you the ability to enjoy a hike like you never had before I've got the popular Half Dome cables on here and 14 miles it's probably a bit too intense this morning so let's take a look at the four mile trail to Glacia point this looks like it won't take me quite so long and with that elevation gain it's sure to still be a great workout so let's get going here I can see my directions and I can also scroll through to see all of the exciting views and destinations I have coming up at any time I can swipe right to check in on the map I can see my current location and my route progress in fact any time if I stray too far from the path B range will let me know about it this really wasn't possible before but now that Apple watch has integrated GPS new agent can look out to make sure I don't stray too far off route that's the Ranger the first-ever hiking up to take advantage of GPS on the new Apple watch and we're really excited for you guys to try out on your next hike thank you
