But then you have to have a screen protector on your watch... *barf*$529 ->$749 That's a pretty big jump for something that a decent screen protector will do.

Not sure why that is a surprise, the series 3 was the same way. Heck, some rumors mentioned all cellular watches.I have an aluminum one and I've been waiting for this series to get SS. I didn't think they'd force cellular on the SS, thus me spending $750, since I want SB...
Worth it. Aluminum looks cheap. SS looks much nicer. Screen protectors look awful, not to mention having to feel those edges all the time.Yeah I agree, $220 is a pretty good jump just for SS and sapphire display... And I could put that savings towards a getting a series 6/7 instead of holding out for a series 7/8
Too bad the resell value plumits by 50% or more even after the first year of each SS AW series. Too me not really worth the extra money for a "disposable" gadget, which i will upgrade a year or max 2 years later.Worth it. Aluminum looks cheap. SS looks much nicer.

Thats fair enough, i personally just go for the cheapest spacegrey alloy LTE version.Not everybody cares about the resale value, that’s the nature of tech in general, it doesn’t hold value at all. If somebody wants to purchase the higher end stainless watch because of the aesthetics and the sapphire display, why not enjoy it for what it is and everybody will value things differently. All tech is ‘Disposable.’

This! i much prefer the SS it looks better and the Saphire display is much more durable, i will be getting the Space Black SS this time around, not sure if the black still has the DLC coating tho? apparently that made the SS Black more durable than even the silver stainless steel.
I’m assuming Apple Still uses the DLC coating, they advertise it with the first generation space black Apple Watch, but then later removed it for the Series 2 marketing, but it was confirmed that the DLC coating was in fact still applicable to the space black Series 2 model. Basically with the DLC coating, you’re receiving extreme protection around the casing, which I never had scratches on mine, and then fact that it has the sapphire display, the space black was almost bulletproof.
I have always got SS watch and currently have the cellular series 3. I don't use the cellular and am tempted to go with aluminum this go around. How does the aluminum hold up?
yes. I have the series 2 SS space black no cellular and it looks brand new. I like the series 4 but for those people who don't want lte on their wrist, the Series 2 SS is still a great choice. It's an instant classic. After much thought I will keep it and save a lot of money!I’m assuming Apple Still uses the DLC coating, they advertise it with the first generation space black Apple Watch, but then later removed it for the Series 2 marketing, but it was confirmed that the DLC coating was in fact still applicable to the space black Series 2 model.

I didn't realize what that meant...The stainless steal has the Sapphire crystal front glass, otherwise yes to the rest.
