Anyone else regretting their space black stainless steel choice

If anyone regrets theirs after receiving it I might be open to taking it off your hands.
u can have mine, mid may delivery but I'm in germany so it wouldn't be worth it for u with the exchange rate and customs etc
My strategy was clear from the start.
I would order;
Space Black
Milanese Loop
Then go into the store, try on both and decide. Cancelling the one I didn't want.
I got 12-26 May delivery on Space Black, and 24 April - 8 May on Milanese, no problem I thought...
Then the problem came when there were no Space Blacks to try on, so I went to the store and tried everything else, resulting in me also ordering SG Sport Black, Green Sport, Blue Leather Loop straps
Here is my dilemma... because of the delivery times and the lack of availability for try ons, I now need to wait until both are in my hand. This will mean that 14 days return on the Milanese will have expired by then, so if I don't want that one I will need to sell it. If I don't want SB, I will probably sell that too.
Given the prices they are both fetching, I should make enough to fund at least half of the one I keep.
This is an example of the Apple process forcing me to see both together and needing to keep both on order. Negative is someone will have to wait a little longer while I decide, upside is I make a bit of money to fund my own purchase.
C'est la vie

I ordered space black and I don't regret my decision at all. I was trying to figure out if I wanted SS or SB SS. After seeing it in person I felt really good about my decision. I must admit that SS was nice but SB SS was definitely unique. There might be few bands that match but third party bands will be available soon enough. Attached is a really good pic of the SB SS. Doesn't it look sweet?

That's a fantastic pic, thank you. Can't wait for mine to arrive Mid May
You and I both.
Looks FANTASTIC! Anyone doubting the SB SS, PLEASE cancel your order so that I may get mine faster.
Also consider, the screen on the watch will be off most of the time so I suspect the SB SS will have the most seamless, sleek appearance considering the it's entirely black, including the screen.

Iv said it before, but I think the space grey just looks likes normal Apple watch but in a bumper case. Not to my personal taste but it is for many people.
Not sure after going to the Apple store today? The regular SS looks awfully nice and is more versatile?
I have a mid May delivery date Hate to loose my place in line

Those look pretty good. The one in my store was so light colored, it was almost like a different watch. I wish I had taken a pick.

If you search #spaceblack on Instagram a bunch of pictures come up of it on people's wrists.
When does the clock start ticking for return policy. Is it when order is placed, when it ships or when its delivered. I think it is going to be messy for returns, if you received your item more than a month after placing an order, and it starts ticking when order is placed.
I had ordered the Space Black SS and the regular SS with link bands before trying them on. After the try on I cancelled the Space Black. Far too glossy for me, made it look like plastic instead of SS (especially the bezel). I currently wear a black watch now and much prefer the finish of it vs the Space Black apple watch, its a bit more matte. Pics below, keep in mind the bezel is a bit glossy because it's ceramic, but the frame of the watch is titanium carbide coated titanium.

What do people think then? Will the delivery models look more like the ones in the display case which is available in every store for all to see, or will it be like the try-on space black watches which are only available in selected stores for a handful of people to see?
Be interesting to find out once they start shipping.

They are the same watch. The ones in the cases have white light aimed directly at them, which makes them appear lighter
Negatory, the watch in the case at my store was really shockingly light. It took s minute before I even realized it was space black. It was light a light gun metal color.
