That’s the thing about the watches, SO much is down to personal preference/style.

I tried the silver stainless steel (I wanted a change having had a black SS Series 0 for years) and found it wayyy too bling for me, while the silver aluminium I just generally wasn’t keen on.

The titanium fits the spot perfectly for me.
The SS is not as bling-y as you might think (but it's preference, again, of course). It's the frame of the watch only, so more subtle than you might think. And it does look sharp - my aluminum S4 looks downright bland in comparison.

Yeah I did try it on before going for the titanium. Too glossy for me. Not saying it’s in any way worse than the one I ended up going for, just not my style personally
 
My guess is that they are significantly reducing stock ahead of a fall series 7 release. I don't know this at all, but it wouldn't surprise me if the natural titanium watch is one of the weakest sellers, since: (1) most people choose the cheaper aluminum, and (2) of those who don't, many will choose the blingier SS so that their "upgrade" is more obvious. I like titanium as well, but it doesn't surprise me that it's in short supply right now.

One thing I'm wondering about, though, is whether it sold well enough to be carried forward to the series 7? I hope so.
