The folding clasp that sets against your wrist is now longer, which I see is a design improvement. With it sticking it out past the end of the glidelock itself, the bracelet pulls against your wrist forcing the back end of the glidelock to remain closed. In the original model, that was the major design flaw that I noticed, that the back end would flex open.

Here's some pictures of the updates.

Excellent post.
