With other apps like Runtastic promising similar updates this year, the Apple Watch is fast evolving into a fitness companion that can match dedicated watches in most areas except battery life. FRONT OF THE PACKSure, this might not sound like a revolutionary leap considering there are watches that can measure your lactic acid, but it's a symbolic moment for the Apple Watch. But now owners of the Series 2 can head out for the hills without WhatsApp bleeps ruining their peace, thanks to an update that lets Strava use the Series 2's built-in GPS instead.
