I like the dot so much that I've bought 2 AW3s, one for each arm.
Got a tip for us?

It’s awful looking, it won’t match anything! Should’ve gone with something more neutral
But it’s Apple, so there’s nothing we can do or say because what’s a few people’s voices over millions of sales
I’ll still be buying one, because it’s not a dealbreaker, and as I said it’s Apple, saying “no I’m not gonna buy one that’s hideous” will do nothing

Heh...I'm thinking I'll get one for the opposite reason...I'm notorious for forgetting my phone.
Really wish they would have done a notification for leaving your phone behind. (Nope, no-one's done an app that works worth a damn).
When I was a teenager, I brought my vegetarian girlfriend home for dinner with the family. My mother offered her a chicken caesar salad, and when she said, "I don't eat meat," my mother replied, "Oh, it's just a little meat."With all the people walking around wearing the most electric, vibrant shoe color combos on the planet, I am surprised that anyone would really care about a single, red dot on a phone.
When I spend hundreds of dollars on a Space Black watch, I don't want "just a little red".
So, you either buy one and cover it or you buy a Series 2. I mean, it's not that complicated, really. Eating meat when you're a vegetarian and having to suffer through the torture of accepting that there's a small, red dot at the end of the crown of your AW that you will rarely EVER see aren't really in the same ballpark.
Between this red dot and the terrible ears on the iPhone X I am not sure what the design team is doing anymore...
Honestly, as much as Apple says that they value our privacy, I think the red dot was put there for spotting the new AW3's out in the wild. Kinda like you wearing a browser cookie around your neck.

Totally agree!
I think it looks great on a stainless steel w/ white sport band and the ceramic version. I can certainly see some people upset that it clashes with some band combinations.
It will look even better on my black stainless with the black leather loop! Love the red dot!
Agree.
I personally like the red dot.
Splash of colour never hurt anyone, grow to love the dot!
I know others are worrying about it clashing with their bands, LOL!
Some worry too much about what others think about them.

I remember back then I wanted the red dot in my watch. I wanted the gold edition with red leather band and red dot when I first saw it. Lol, I had no idea it was going to be a real gold case and cost so much. I thought it would be just a gold color like my Seiko. I'm neutral on the dot now, but think it will look nice on the silver and white Nike model I picked out.

Agreed. I got the SS with WSB and I think it'll look nice. I really don't have any bands that will be awful with the red dot. I mean, white, black, brown, tan... mine are mostly all some variation on those colors....Milanese... the Pride band... a red band... I think the only one I have that might clash a little is the lilac sport band, but really? Just not a big deal. At all.
I'm not a fan, but "hideous monstrosity"? That's quite a term that should probably be reserved for presidential administrations and mothers-in-law.

Well, bunnicula, i'm not surprised you like the white with red dots given your photo.

I've ordered the SS with white sport band and think the red looks quite nice. Can't wait to finally get it!
