I'd be interested if they could do it in Stainless Steel - the iPhone 8 red-dyed steel looked pretty neat. Maybe also Forest Green stainless to match my iPhone 11 Pro Max?
The iPhone 8 was aluminium though? I don't see why they couldn't if they can make space grey, gold, midnight green etc iPhones. If not probably more a volume thing than a technical one - they sell way more of the cheaper aluminium watches than SS ones so it makes sense to offer the extra colour where the sales are.
 
Red is my favourite colour in general, but there is no way I would choose this watch. Having a red watch body would severely limit the range of bands that would look good. I much prefer my space grey watch that can be paired with any colour of band.

I bought the (Product)RED iPhone 8 as soon as I saw it. It’s almost like a Ferrari Red and (except for the XR), none of the other (Product)RED offerings (cases, watch bands, etc.) are quite like it. Even the iPhone 11 red isn’t the same.

If they come out with a Series 5 Apple Watch that comes close to the iPhone 8 (Product)RED color, it’s an instant buy. With the right band and watch face, it could be striking.
 
I for one can't wait for the Product (RED) USB-C to USB-C Cable. And the Product (RED) Sim Card Ejector Tool.
 
Something tells me this will likely just have an unique watchface and band..
 
I could see this on a stainless casing but nothing else. The look definitely isn't for me but hey for those that can pull it off, good on yah.

Round display please, or at least a choice between, I HATE square faced watches.

That ship has sailed.FWIW, I agree, but the square face shows so much more information that I think round is impractical. Kids born today will probably think of round faces in the same way I think of vinyl records. They are neat and retro, but streaming is just so much more convenient.
 
Please release this is in the normal cycle not in the spring. I can’t justify buying one in the spring when I know September is a few months away :/

I mean, or some self-control and resist. 🤷‍♂️

The iPhone 8 wasn’t steel but that was the best shade of Product(RED) I’ve seen, as noted by another comment. If they could pull off a deep reflective-red steel it would truly be awesome. Aluminum may look a little cheap.

If the whole watch was the red of the crown from the S3, maybe people wouldn’t complain about the crown dot standing out!
