Any Space Gray Series 11 owners out there?

Weirdly no early traction on this color (guess because it's nothing fancy, or a new Ultra or Ti shade). I own it and think it's great. It's somewhat blah, but still looks premium (I mistook it for the Natural Ti Ultra from a distance at the Apple Store). Also blends well with the larger screen than some of the other lighter options. And it's obviously not anodized so it's unlikely it will suffer the same day-to-day damage by just wearing it that the Jet Black model supposedly does.

Just ordered a black Ocean Band. Anyway, just happy with my new watch ☺️

Even the space gray color is anodized, as are the silver and rose gold. It just might not show scratches as much as the jet black.

Should have been clearer. Not anodized in the same manner as the Jet Black. As in not polished and prone to the flaking some have experienced on the underside with prolonged skin contact.

Anyway, anybody else dig the new finish?

I have seen it a few times in the Apple Store and love the sheen of the color. As a natural TI Apple Watch Ultra owner the color overlaps too much. But it would make a great supplementary watch to someone with a black Ultra.

I have one ! I sold my Ultra 2 to get this one. My Ultra was gathering dust ; I was always wearing my S10 Natural Ti. I realized that the Ultra was just too big for my taste. So now I can switch between my S10 and my S11. I really dig the Space Grey finish.

I agree, the shades of silver are pretty similar, especially from a distance. The Natural Ti having a warmer hue. I have a blue ocean band with natural finish and there's a perceivable difference in most lighting, while at a glance and in lower indoor lighting they're fairly indistinguishable.

Nice! I tried the Ultra 1 for a week and, while I loved it and could live with the size, it was just too cumbersome for the job I do and I felt paranoid that I was going to keep smacking it on everything because of how much it "projects" from the wrist, which of course I did day one. Not to mention that wearing it for sleep data was kind of annoying. I also tried the S10 Natural Ti last year as well and, while I loved the thinner profile, I still felt that it's such a nice (expensive) watch that I was just too reluctant to want to use it at work. On the other hand, this Space Gray aluminum S11 checks all the OCD boxes haha. Relatively cheap, thin, and somewhat premium looking 👍
