MacRumors:
In addition to predicting an all-new Apple Watch 2 with a GPS, barometer, larger battery, and more, KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo today claimed that upgraded first-generation Apple Watch models with faster TSMC-built processors and superior waterproofing will likely launch in the second half of 2016.
Kuo said the upgraded Apple Watch 1 models will not have a GPS, barometer, or other larger additions reserved for the Apple Watch 2, nor will the waterproofing improvements be as significant, suggesting only an incremental refresh of internal hardware. The watches are said to retain a similar form factor.
Obviously, this is a rumor. Something I’ve wondered since the original Apple Watch announcement: Will there be an upgrade path for my Apple Watch 1?
This would be standard operating procedure for Apple. Sell the old one starting at $219 and offer the new one as the premium device.

when you upgrade path, certainly you don’t mean upgraded your used hardware? I can’t think of a single piece of Apple hardware that Apple does that for. not iPod, ipad, iPhone, MacBook, nor Mac. certainly don’t expect it on the watch.
