I bought my Apple Watch today. I was torn between the Gold and Space Grey. I looked and tried them on for a 15 min session.
The interesting thing was I was loving the Gold with the Blue band, with the colours being far more subtle than in pictures but for some reason the anodised Gold on the Digital Crown put me off as it just looked really cheap. The Space Grey in comparison looked a more rounded finish and a bit more high quality.
Of course they are the same in reality but it was how it looked to me and the perception it held. Wearing it it felt cheaper than the Grey.
That is my take. Of course bother have a higher quality feel than the silver but the silver works visually I feel with the most bands. So is a real toss up and personal opinion I think is the main thing.
