Stainless steel, please, like a real watch! Think Omega or Rolex. Ti watches look dingy compared to stainless. Keep the Ti for golf clubs and custom bikes.

I feel the same way. I wanted an ultra but I couldn’t stand how the matte (honestly cheap) looking titanium clashed with my wedding ring.
Just needs the gloss finish like the Stainless Steel version and I'll be in like Flint 😊
YES!!!! I wished the buttons and ascents were subtle color. I get the orange stands out in a situation like diving or where the environment makes difficult to see but at least we should have the options to choose it.
I didn't think the Ultra would be upgraded every year. The colors have grown on me over the year and I like it. I hope they can thin it out some - used to the bulkiness after wearing it so long, but wouldn't mind if they could make it smaller. I'll consider a new one if it has some major upgrade to it, but probably will hold off a year otherwise. I have noticed my battery capacity decreased some, but still is functional. I did a triathlon on Saturday and had plenty of power.
Apple really needs to step it up on the software side. The fitness app is lacking for runs compared to Garmin. Siri remains terrible, and forces me to get out my phone while running too often to change music.

I'm a big fan of the current color of my Ultra. It works with just about every possible strap color-wise and texture-wise. I mostly use the Ultra Orange and Atlantic blue Nomad Sport bands or the orange Trail loop. But I've got the green trail loop and the white and blue Ocean bands as well. The titanium finish works with all of them.
Everyone complained about the CPU, the lack of case colors etc. I am with you, it's the best Apple device I've owned other than my M1 MBA, in a long time. Got my Ultra on launch and have enjoyed it.
I bought the S4 Aluminum as my first Apple Watch. I added the Silver Stainless Milanese Loop band. I wore the first one out. The second one on the S7 was moved to the Ultra. I like the magnetic catch as it makes the band infinitely adjustable as my wrist size varies during the day. The silver color compliments the watch finish for me.
I do not want a drawer of different colored or pattern watch bands.
The Ultra is made of some upgraded metal so what ever the color is works for me.

I think Apple's use of orange here is purposefully done to make it instantly recognizable. It's a brand recognition thing like white AirPods.
While I can see them using black as the accent colour, I'd be surprised if they did this in year 2.
Hopefully it's just colors, lol. I won't need to upgrade for that. i would love to see an even better battery, better chip, screen blah blah, but then I may have to upgrade
As the owner of a black titanium Apple Watch 6 (special edition), I hope this proves to be the case. I have not upgraded my watch because I prefer black titanium. If Apple issues an Ultra in black titanium, I will upgrade. I would prefer a button color other than orange, though. (Too much like halloween).
Interesting views. I have never had a watch that had so many people ask me about. The titanium finish and Ultra exclusive Wayfinder watch face make for a really nice looking combo.
Would that be pea green or pee yellow ? 🤣
That's fine for old skool analog watches. they are fine as jewelry or as a unitasker to just tell time.
Sweet, I'm up for an upgrade this fall. My sister got an Ultra and after she visited earlier this year I was getting used to the idea of the silver case. If a darker case is released, however, I'll probably go with that.
DLC is harder than woodpecker lips, I have it on sev. competition pistols & it doesn't wear period.
You do realize that apple typically uses the same processor for two years though, right? So a true 2nd generation wont happen until 2024.
I really hope it's something like the midnight MacBook Air, that color look so GOOD. 
Apple did painted titanium before on the PowerBook (TiBook). It didn’t age particularly well!
My Series 8 is Midnight.I really hope it's something like the midnight MacBook Air, that color look so GOOD.
I predict more RAM, as the new OS will be more memory hungry.
