Funny how the SS looks like it is worth $600 and the Sport doesn't look like it is worth $400.

in a way I agree IF it is the aluminum with a colorful band (i.e. not black or white) The SG I think looks more like it could double as a classy watch. Either way they all look great and can't wait for this last 2.5 hours to go by so I can go pick mine up!

There's not a single Apple Watch that looks decent in my opinion. The Sport versions looks really cheap, yet the high end gold models look ridiculous and tacky. There's no middle ground.

Arrived at 11am so far I am impressed. Not laggy and been easy and fast to setup. Packaging was nice, reminded me of the plastic white MacBook I used to have.

Looks really nice.

- How good is the screen outside in the sun? Is it visible?

- Is there an option to turn the display on all the time (like android wear) or just a tilt to view option?

My :apple: SS with black sports band arrived today in Germany. Like it a lot, except the band - waiting for my steel Link band, which is more in style with my mechanical watch. Otherwise cool so far. :)

Looks like you've come to the wrong part of the forum then...

To each their own. What I've noticed from the pics so far:

The Alu space grey black looks like the finish is fairly bad (my main worry with it).
The SS is VERY shiny. A little too shiny for my tastes.
The black crown on the SS is silly.
The Alu silver looks a little cheap, but I prefer the look to the SS personally.

I'll see what mine's like in the flesh. I'm not sure right now whether I'll keep the sport, or return it for the SS.
