What happened to Space Black Stainless Steel??

I'm only seeing it available as a $1400 40mm Hermès ???
 
Nope, that's what I saw too. And my guess is that at least 3 of those 4 eat more of the watches precious battery. I can't even find a reference to battery life on the website.


I'm kinda thinking that too for my series 4. The only thing I really wanted from the 5 was always on. My 4 is plenty fast enough for now... I've lived without always on this long...

Right now I really just want the hand washing time! lol!

I can’t find that either. I can’t hit purchase til I know what that might be.
 
I think I’ll keep my series 4 Hermes 44mm SS for another year, I like the blood oxygen thing but that’s about it and I don’t think is worth taking a major loss selling my series 4 for peanuts and spending another 800$ on the SS series 6

It looks like it's gone. Damn, finally replacing my Series 0, and was planning on Space Black.
 
Crap, nothing about battery life. I think it's called time flies because there isn't much that's changing. It almost looks like they're done with the Apple Watch portion too.

Yet the press outlets are claiming improved battery on the series 6, despite the fact it wasn’t mentioned anywhere in the presentation. While I won’t be rushing out to get the Series 6, due to the fact I Haven’t got an iPhone as am waiting for the iPhone 12, I will be keeping an eye on reviews and real life user experiences of the 6. So when I do eventually get the iPhone 12, I will know what Apple watch I will be purchasing.
 
Ordered 44 graphite black for me and 40 SS for my wife. Delivery on 20th which is the first delivery day in UAE.

Very happy !!! :)
 
Just ordered the aluminum space grey and already shipping is Sep. 25-29.

I was on the second the event ended and the page went up. They all were listed 25-29/30. I don't know what was actually available Friday.

But like wirh most Apple orders, it will probably ship sooner than the dates said.

Does the SS no longer come in GPS only (non-cellular)? Not seeing it as an option to order...

I don't remember the S4 or S5 Stainless models coming in GPS only. That was just for the aluminum cases.

I could be wrong, but that's how I remember it.
 
I think I’m going to keep my S4 for another year. The only thing that caught my attention was measuring your blood oxygen levels. I have asthma so this would probably be beneficial for me but that’s the only thing that would benefit me compared to my S4. At least I’ll be upgrading my XS Max this year.

Did anyone manage to get a delivery date before the 24th? I was really fast but it already said "24-28" for the 44mm Stainless Steel shipping to Germany.

It is interesting that Hermes sticks with "last year's" color (I'm not sure I can really tell the difference between them).
Wonder if that's how they're getting rid of the last of the space black casings.
 
I'd suggest starting here: https://www.apple.com/watch/compare/

That'll give you the highlights.

Then please ask any specific questions and folks will answer as best they can.

just gonna say it - if you have heart issues, please speak to your dr before relying on an apple watch. the ekg, in particular, is good and proven to notify otherwise-healthy individuals of new problems, but if you have an existing one, all bets are off.
 
Ordered the 40mm silver GPS. Cheapest model. I'd really like one of the more premium models but they just don't hold their resale value as well as I'd like and I'm a serial upgrader for my sins. Also fancied the blue aluminium but I still have my silver Milanese Loop from the original watch and the silver just matches better.

Upgrading from the Series 5, which I managed to get £220 for so it's costing me £150 to upgrade. I understand it's not a particularly exciting upgrade for everybody but I was going to buy a pulse oximeter anyway to monitor my sleep apnea.

Got an ugly strap because they were the only ones ready for delivery on Friday and I'm impatient. 😂

I agree, what a joke. I’ve waited two series and now I can’t even get space back to match my series 0 link bracelet unless I pay $1400 or go titanium.
