So I'm about to get my first Apple Watch. I'm in the Netherlands and there's no LTE models here (I don't mind, and I don't like the red dot anyway) so I'm limited to the aluminium colors.
I haven't seen them in real life yet and that will probably be the deciding factor. We're headed to the Apple Store on Sunday.
My first thought was that I would go for the space grey. I'm not sure why, it's just what I thought I should get. Then I went into Apple's mix and match thing to see it with different bands and I saw the SG with the silverish connectors of the leather bands and I started doubting the SG. I'm not planning on getting Apple brand bands apart from probably the Berry Stripe Nylon (goes perfectly with my glasses ), but I would like to be able to combine it with some third party leather bands.
So I figured silver would be more versatile, and I liked the look of it combined with other bands more.
Yesterday I was looking at monowear bands. I love the dark red leather they have, although the SG version they have I think is really stunning, I still thought I would go with the silver. Then I found a video reviewing the monowear bands, I wanted to make sure that it was really that dark red color they show on the website, and that was the case but then I saw the silver alu in the video and I cringed. It seemed so cheap looking. So then I started thinking about the SG again. But then the berry stripe nylon seems to have an alu silver clasp....
And to top it off, I'm thinking of getting a 8Plus in the new gold in a few months, so then the gold watch started coming up in my head. But I can hardly find any real life pics of it and I'm worried it won't look good with other bands.
In other words I'm driving myself nutters.
It will probably come down to my gut feeling when I see them in real life but I want to make a future proof decision. Any advice/thoughts? Anyone seen the new gold alu color? What do you think?
