Ladies! What color are you choosing this year!? I’m upgrading from a Rose Gold series 2! And can’t decide what color I want!

I originally had a silver and wasn’t crazy about it and switched to rose gold. But I’m not sure I like the new gold and am worried the black will be to masculine/won't match my bands!

I'm done with black. I have both black aluminum and rose gold. I still love my rose gold, but I'm ready for a new watch (both of mine are series 0). I'm getting stainless so that I can finally buy some leather bands (I just could not get past the silver attachments on my black or pink watch.)

I currently have a 42mm silver aluminum, and I’m ordering a 40mm SS with Milanese Loop. I’ll order a sport band or loop to use when exercising. I just haven’t decided on a color.

You must not have any other watch bands. If you currently have a bunch of 42 bands they won't work with the new 40 watch. I have a bunch of 38 bands so i'll be ordering the 40 (not to mention my wrist is too small for the 40/44 bands)

Yeah, I thought about that but don’t want the bigger case. I’m giving the watch to my son. He’ll probably take at least 4 of my 7 bands.

I love silver so I am sticking with that. I am going to spring for the SS this year vs. the aluminum though.

44MM SS, but that's what I always order. I've upgraded every year. Yes, I'm a sucker.

I am toying with the idea of the gold, just for variety. Problem is, I don't want to buy another Milanese band and I don't like crappy, 3rd party knockoffs of Apple bands.

I only have a couple of Apple bands with silver connectors, so I'm not worried about any but the Milanese. The bands I wear most often are the Milanese, my Leather Loop bands, and my Sport loop bands (occasionally, the regular sport bands) and connectors don't matter with those.

I have a rose gold series 2 currently. I will give it to my niece, and I’m going to buy the series 4
40 space grey with black sport loop. Reason why I’m getting black is that it will go with gold &
silver jewelry. I think my favorite color though is silver with white band.
I’m getting the SS space grey.

Did any of you get your watches today? I got the space gray aluminium and I'm really happy with it. I'm glad I chose this over the gold.

I usually get the silver aluminum and that's what I have on pre-order for 1st week Oct delivery. But the reviews on the new gold shade are so pretty and I'm not really a gold person. If it wasn't cost prohibitive, I'd definitely get the gold stainless. The gold aluminum is NOT the same - it is the rose gold from last year I believe. I'm sure I'll still be happy w/ my silver :)

I’m still waiting. Watching the UPS truck via Follow My Delivery on their app is driving me crazy. It seems like he is circling all around my neighborhood.

I'm going with the 40mm gold stainless.

My first Apple watch was silver aluminum, but I didn't like the appearance, so when the Series 1 watches came out, I found a sweet deal on a 38mm silver SS.

But now that they've done so much updating, I'm upgrading. At first, I ordered the same silver SS that I have now. But then I began watching videos, and I canceled that one and ordered a gold SS. It's going to be a few weeks, but I'm looking forward to it!

I got the 40mm silver aluminum with cellular. I have always had silver with the exception of one SS, which I loved, but couldn’t get used to the weight.

I only wear white gold and silver jewelry, so I’ve never wanted a different color watch, although I like the looks of several of the watch/band color combos. For me though, the silver goes well with the band colors I like best.

Thinking I may spring for a SS again at some point, now that I’ve gotten more used to wearing a heavier device, but since I was buying this AND the XS Max, I just couldn’t do it this time.
