Doubt it. I have the SS black watch and it doesn't scratch easy at all. Someone used a key on that to do it on purpose.
The Space Black Apple Watch uses a DLC coating, different finish compared to the back of the phones.
 
Hey guys! As you many of you probably already know, iPhone announced two new colors to the iPhone family and I can not decide which one to buy! I know the Piano black is prone to scratches and smudges but I already found an awesome clear protective case so I'm not worried about that.

Can you link to this? I'm curious to see.

but again keep in mind apple watch and 7 plus uses completely different material for example watch uses stainless steel while 7 plus is out aluminum. the base also helps and factors in paint/color being on the object.

kinda like a paint on a plastic bottle compare to an paint on a wall. which one you think would peel more quicker.
 
I might get regular black since I always use a case anyways. Then again I saw a pretty neat clear case posted on another forums, so maybe I'll go for the Jet Black. Can't decide yet.

Can you post a link of the phone case you saw?
 
Was initially thinking of 128 Jet Black but worried about scratches and plastic look. Now leaning to Black. More of a classic look and less prone to micro scratches.

is it me or does the jet black seem to collect less fingerprints than the flat?
Well considering how many people fondled those phones after fondling themselves when it was presented on the screen, any colour would look disgustingly smudgy!

Jet Black looks very toyish. Matte Blaxk looks sexy. Too bad the dark blue didn't materialize. A red would have been badass!
 
I wish we could see these in person before preorder but don't tbhnk anyone will carry prior to order time.

So torn on this as well.

My heart says jet black, my brain says matte.
May go jet and do the 14 day window for return even though it will probably be a while.
