Considering a Cartier De Santos, or waiting for the Series 7 Apple Watch …

[The Cockney Rebel]

I have to say, the mockups look quite nice, I could definitely live with that - as long as the existing bands will fit of course.

My favorite is definitely the SSG, but I really like the space black steel case too. Aluminum is nice but I mostly wear the Alu S5 when I work out.
I had a plain SS watch too (S2, bought it to see how I would like it) but for some reason I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought.

See, that looks very clean to me.

White is my favourite colour, and the SS looks rather classy.

I think I’d go with a light coloured sport strap, though (the Velcro one.)

If the existing bands and charging cable wasn’t compatible with the (very slight) re-design, I think there would be an outcry.

Thoughts?

I totally agree with you, yet I prefer the look of a dark case in combination with a light strap attached....

I like the contrast, but I just like light colours.

Part of my OCD!

I could always go with a silver SS and maybe a dark(ish) band?

Dark brown would look nice. One of the nicer ones.

Hmm, I’ve gone from a basic aluminium model, to a SS with premium band. This is how Apple gets you .

Do you think you will buy the S7 yourself? If so, will it be in SS?

Now just have to decide which band to order it with? I wonder if they’ll bring new bands out with the S7?

I have an AW5, but if the S7 would come with better battery life, I could get one. At the same time I’d like to get a SS version, so I could get a used S6 instead.

I have 8 OEM bands and 3 from other companies, from the OEM sports up to the OEM Space Link bracelet. My favorites are the older Woven Nylon bands, currently discontinued. These had the best color scheme and texture.

Good thing with AW is you can have both. The watch is the same, you can get both straps.

I just wished the Modern Buckle was in one size.

Would save me having to go into a store to try them on.

Am considering buying an “entry level” aluminium AW, then upgrading to the S7 when it launches.

I can pick one up tomorrow, when I go out.

Would you do so, or just wait for the S7 as we are so close?

If you think I should just go ahead, which of the following would you go for?

Or would you recommend a different band? I’d only want an entry level one, at this point.

I got the white sport band before, which I quite like.
