The thing I liked about the Space Black SS is that it made the case and screen mostly look like one complete unit, which won't be the case with the graphite.
 
Apparently got a little carried away ordering the Series 6 - Aluminium - 44mm - GPS - Blue. With the Atlantic Blue Braided Solo Loop.

Somehow managed to place two orders, and can't cancel one of them because the "Products You've Ordered" page isn't working just now.

Delivery date is the 24th - 28th, but order page says delivery in 2-4 business days.

Hopefully be able to cancel the accidental order before it ships.

I’ve tried comparing the image renderings on Apple’s website between the two colors and I honestly can’t see any difference whatsoever. Hopefully it’s only been renamed.

I was going to get the Gold Stainless but the fact that they have removed the sapphire display from the new page listing has put my plans on hold. That was always a selling feature for the Stainless models.

I’ve ordered a 44mm watch in blue with the blue braided band. I gave the series 5 a miss so will be trading in my series 4. I didn’t bother with cellular this time around as I hardly ever used it in the end.

I think its time to sell some of my bands, particularly the metal ones as I very rarely wear them anymore.

Yeah, the graphite and Space Black watches do look similar:

I had stainless steel watches for this reason for the first couple, but at some point switched to the non-stainless ones and I’ve genuinely not noticed any difference in resilience of the screen. I wear my watches while running up hills, mountain biking, scrambling etc so I think they get a pretty decent workout and various bumps & knocks, but I’ve been surprised by how the screen and case has stood up.
 
I'm in for an upgrade from my S3. The always on altimeter is the surprise feature for me. Tracking "floors climbed" is one of my main uses for exercise, so greater accuracy there will be really nice + better tracking when hiking and climbing.
 
Blue or Space Gray, halp me out :)

I’ve been jumping back and forward between these two as well. Decided to go with the space grey version.
The blue looks good, but just limited on the straps that’ll look decent with it.
