Already had Stainless link, Product Red sports band, today I ordered saddle brown, black and electric blue classic leather, and will have white sports band arriving tomorrow on the new SS S4.Sounds violent...
Which colors?
Anyone have any thought on the Charcoal Gray Leather Loop with the Space Gray Aluminum? Wondering if I should try to pick one up before the availability dries up.
It's a favorite of mine. The Black Leather Loop is a bit closer match, but the Charcoal Grey looks great as well.

Nice! As far as I know this style MB classic buckle was only available with the original editions, right? I see 1st gen style midnight blue classic buckles on eBay all the time, but with stainless steel hardware.Mine gold steel 44mm ones are also sent!
Finally I'd have a use for those bands...
// photos are from review + photo of my watch box - sorry, I packed it back already //
Got my gold steel series 4 today. I'd share my opinion, if you don't have anything against, okay?
I really do NOT like it. Luckily there were hundreds of guys, happy to buy it from me...
It is not gold. Absolutely nothing common with gold color. It is bronze. And it becomes dirty in a second - doesn't matter how clean your hands are. And dirt looks UGLY on this finish. Front is too round as for me - like a piece of soap... At the same time the back is extremely beautiful, but I never do see it!
So, with all new functions and blah-blah... I will keep my Series 3 for another year.

I got crucified on Reddit for mentioning that I really don’t like the look of the new watch. I like the undoubtedly square shape of my series 3; I really don’t like the rounded-ness of the new one. I’m happy just having the new software update and keeping mine. I have super tiny wrists too so I really want to keep the small 38mm.
That’s the box. Do you have pictures of the actual Apple Watch in gold, Ivan? That would help. I wanted it...but it was too expensive so got the aluminum gold instead (which, btw, is now delayed due an Apple Pay mess up and UPS was taking it to my old address and I now have to wait to pick it up in person...launch day dreams crushed).
I'm getting the "gold" today and have been on the fence about the color, just waiting to see if I like it or not. I've always had and LOVE my series 3 black, so this is pushing my comfort zone. From all the online photos it's impossible to tell what color it really is, so I am very interested in your opinion and appreciated reading it!
Gold aluminum and gold stainless are two different things. Gold from last year should be the same as this year for the aluminum Apple Watch which no one I know has issues with these days. This is going to be purely your viewpoint.
Take a look at two photos I did attach to that post. But really photos does not show it. You have to look at it personally and feel it.

it's everything but gold. It's bronze. It's brown. It's weird. But not gold.
Went to the local Apple Store to check out the new stuff. Some thoughts:
- S4 looks and feels amazing on the wrist. It takes a moment to get used to the big display, but after that it just feels right. Favourite part: noticeably thinner. I think I still like the squarer/less rounded general shape of S0–3 a little bit better, but it‘s not a deal breaker.
- The Gold Stainless is more of a bronze colour and hence absolutely gorgeous. I brought my own sapphire blue classic buckle along to see how much the lugs would clash, and they clash way less than with Space Black or Ceramic. I‘m seriously tempted … but will probably stay with „boring“ (but matching with all watch bands) Silver Stainless.
- The Lavender Grey sport band is fabulous. Didn‘t buy it as I pre-ordered and will get it on monday.
- Cape Cod leather is a relatively bright and pastel colour. Nice enough, but I‘ll stick with Sea Blue.
- The Forrest „Green“ is so dark it looks more like a dark grey, almost black. Very disappointing colour IRL; the wait for a nice green leather band continues … ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Do you have the Blue Horizon?
I would love to see a picture next to Cobalt.
Trying to decide if I am adding a 9th blue to the family
Just purchased the Blue Horizon and I think that it’s the best blue so far. It’s a bit like the red raspberry, not too bright and not too dull. It’s alive without being shouty. It’s a beautiful shade of blue.
Blue Horizon compared to Blue Cobalt. Nearly the same. Hint more brightness to Horizon. Bands are all identical in size...just packaging is different. Unretouched photos in different lighting.
I’m mad now hearing that black is different than current black. I will have to go see and probly get it. This does not bode well for my wallet if Pink Sand, White, Stone, or (PRODUCT)Red have changed...
Yes please do.
Some of the blue pictures people had from the event looked fantastic.
Looked nothing like the product page
SIDE NOTE RE GOLD: I rec'd my iPhone XS Max in gold alongside Blue Horizon. It's just like @iChernov said...and I don't like it. I do not think I will set up and activate it. This is also bad for my Watch (which was sent to my old address courtesy of an Apple Pay mess up, so I won't receive that today) and I may just return both. I don't know what to do then bc I don't want Space Gray for the Watch and I was never a fan of the silver one. Disappointed this time, in several ways.
