We miss the ceramic Apple Watch Edition. It only went through two generations of Apple Watch designs over three phases between the series 3 and 5.

A series 11 in ceramic needs to return.
The rumors saying there'd be a ceramic series 10 probably meant jet black. I'm sure some source saw it and just assumed. To be fair, jet black is so ceramic that im almost not mad.

The real crime is only giving gray ceramic a single run of S3 watches. I would love to have seen a gray ceramic S5. You know, I'd actually prefer to see gray ceramic make a return before white.

agreeable. Are these all your large Apple Watches? I noticed you wore a few 41mm bands as well. Do you only have one S10 in jet black?

I would love either the return of a non-Hermès Space Black Stainless Steel or a black ceramic Apple Watch Edition (for the price, I'd rather buy the Edition over the Hermès).
 
Feels like we’re getting watch bands this week, team!

What does everyone see coming?

I think a warm orange like nectarine seems like a lock because they love that with gold.

A brighter spring version of lake green?

Another light blue lol. Ideally more to the green range since fall/winter 2024 came in so burple.

Maybe a post-charity red band more orange or more purple?

And I’ll never stop dreaming for a return to the aqua zone of blue gen 2/marine green or the earth zone of Walnut.

space black has a green tinge to it, a fault of using stainless i am sure. We saw it on the first few link bracelets the most. jet black doesnt have this, so it comes across more pearly like the ceramics do.
And dlc is just always going to cut down on reflectivity right?
 
I don’t see it coming but I’d like a robin egg blue with multicolored speckles Nike sport band.

Interesting. A comparison picture would be cool, but I guess the difference would be very hard to capture?

Also, can you compare the tactile side of things? I never owned a ceramic Watch, but when I fondled one I thought it felt less slick and a little more „grippy“ than steel. Am I right about that and where does the jet black fall wrt this?

I did own a space black steel Watch at one point and it seemed very reflective to me? You think the aluminum tops even that?

I mean yeah SBSS is reflective but I guess im grading on a scale to the full chrome of Graphite or Silver
 
recent new watch thing.

bought this jet black 42mm for a pretty good steal on eBay, came with black gen 3 but i have more bands to pair with it and some exciting ones for it on the way. Thanks thousandbands for finding this!

Feels very ceramic. I should take some groupers.
