Depends on you.
I do a lot of home DIY stuff, working on cars, etc. When I had aluminum models I was always really careful; I'd remove my watch for a lot of stuff, or put it in a TPU case while working on the truck, and so forth. I still managed to ding the case at least once or twice in the year of ownership. Then it stood out as an eyesore the rest of the year until I upgraded.
Since switching to SBSS, no more dings or scratches. At least none I can see without a magnifier. I still take the watch off when doing something that might damage the display, but it requires far less care.
Expensive vanity, but for me it's definitely been worth it.
Man I love that blue but I dont know if I would like it for very long....probably go with 44mm space gray one or nike one

Mine is end of Sept/beginning of October.
That's fine. At least I know it's in the pipeline.

Right— it says “ships in 2-4 business days”, and then “delivers Sept 25 - Sept 29”.
i know I didn’t understand that. I was trying to compare the two to get an idea how much lighter it will be. It looks to be about the same as the sbti but with a glossy finish which I am good with. I bought the sbti last year and returned it because I wasn’t a fan of the matte finish and didn’t want to worry about possibly scratching it.

Seriously considering selling my iPad Pro 2nd Gen that I never use and my current Series 3 Watch and buying a Series 6 for my wife and I...Someone talk me out of it.

I’ve had this before with products, where it claims later shipping and then arrives at launch. I guess they’re hedging their bets re stock arriving.

Umm, why is the customize your watch option so prominent if you can't even order most of the configurations yet?

I'm actually okay waiting, if I can just order the damn thing, but I kinda want to know if I have to wait 3 months or not to get a custom config. I'd probably go with a stock one if that's the case.

The SE moves this year, both watch and phone, have been strong. The base model iPad is also pretty decent spec wise, most users could get by with that.
It’s great that you can get set up with an iPad, watch and iPhone for under £1k, will bring in lots of users.

After buying a bunch of straps over the years, including the links bracelet, I've come to realize I only really wear the basic black rubber strap, so not interested in the Hermès.

The better question is, how different is the graphite option vs. the space black?

Don’t like that the braided band is $99.
