The only drawback I can see is that bright red color. Don't know anyone who'd want a watch that color, other than a grade-schooler.

I’ve been waring an aluminum AW7 with Nike sport band. I like the square face of the ultra, but always that it had to be too heavy to use daily. I weight the 7 vs the ultra with the trail band and the ultra was 4 grams heavier. I think I’m going to try to find an Ultra 1 to replace my AW7

Unless the color has changed from my AW6, the red isn’t that bright.

You might want to expand your ⭕️ of friends too.

Series 9 still missing the O2 meter, or has that been resolved?

Plenty of people use watches as a fashion accessory - like earrings, ties, cufflinks or necklaces. Politicians wear subdued colors, then a bright red tie. For weddings, some guys like a classy tux and colorful Mickey Mouse cufflinks to show a little personality. Women wear big hoop earrings or gaudy necklaces with classy dresses to stand out. Or bright red lipstick to stand out.

Anybody really wears the red watch?

 

[GaryGnu]

Oh, I used to be disgusted
And now, I try to be amused
But since their wings have got rusted
You know, the angels want to wear my red watch

Almost bought this for my wife when there was a 199 flash sale.
Then I realized she would hate that color and never wear the thing.
I think it's time for Apple to retire the (Product) Red gimmick and just make normal annual donations to the Aids fund from now on because this color consistently undersells every other color option which is why it is always on sale.

There’s a whole lot of ‘I’d never wear this, therefore nobody else would’ going on in this thread.

I’d wear it but I’m not ready for an upgrade yet. The price is appealing though.

Well Tony Toronto, the fact it is the lowest selling color variant proves a lot of people aren’t wearing it. I was a big fan of the blue color but apparently that didn’t sell and wasn’t used for charity clout like the Red watch so they stopped offering it.

If you indeed like it, setup an alert on SlickDeals because it regularly goes on sale for 199 from Amazon and Walmart.

No thanks on a square watch 🤢🤮

But they donate a whole dollar! And how would customers virtue signal without it? /s

Well I wore a Product(RED) Apple watch 6 for years before upgrading to the 9. I wore it with the black band from my previous watch though. I agree the red band red on red watch was a little much. Overall though the subtle red of the watch casing (when paired with the normal black band) was a nice touch. I really like the (red) phone also but sadly it's not available for the Pro versions.

Also as a minor bonus knowing some money goes to help the charity, although that in no way influenced my purchase.

You're gonna stand out with a red watch, alright!

Good price for the Series 9. But would have liked the discount to be available for the other colours too.

I mean it has to sell half decently otherwise they’d axe the colour entirely, charity reasons aside.

They may very well discontinue it for the next generation release but we’ll have to wait and see for that. If I was in the market for a new watch right now I’d definitely get the red one if buying an aluminum body. I’m waiting for the next gen release before retiring my S5, so long as there is a compelling functional reason to do so.

Unfortunately Slickdeals is US only and I don’t know of any comparable sites here in Canada. Thanks though.

Cheers.

Not with my blue hair, nose ring, bright yellow crocs.....

Some people love to stand out from the crowd.

Until a gang of hooligans decides they don't like the way you look…you won't love that!
