Well, after 2 years there needs to be more that what is listed here to make me upgrade from my OG U2:

There might be some redesign given the 2 year timeframe ...

The listed features are merely evolutionary, AW needs a killer feature to boost it up.

This is such a cool feature

I hope Apple eventually adds this feature to the regular Apple Watch as well
Who else is amazed that a wrist-worn device can communicate with satellites 500 to 2000 km above our heads?
