Did I order an unmasculine watch?

[thefredelement]

I ordered a pink one and an extra black band with the regular aluminum face. To me the pink looks somewhat orange and I like it, I think it looks energetic.

I got the black band for formal events.

A real man gets EXACTLY want he wants. If that means waiting a year, going to the ends of the earth or fighting dragons, so be it.

Did you want green?

I decided on the green 42mm weeks ago, and that's what I ordered. I really don't see what's unmasculine about it

A watch does not make a man nor does any other possession.

You can put a sexy, masculine, man in a dress and he still looks like a dude in a dress. Either you're a sexy beast of a man or you're not, a watch isn't going to change that for you either way.

I ordered the green as an extra band. I used to joke about what an awful shade of green that was and karma smacked me in the face. My boss then handed me my new work uniform. Green Hawaiian shirt with that exact green as the primary color. Now I decided to like it.

Big color is very much in style right now so it will be a fun strap for me for work and the gym. Classic buckle will be nice for the rest of the time.

Erm...OK......good one!

I feel like there's an obvious comeback to that involving your mam/sister/other female family member, but if I go that route, then theres really only one direction the conversation can go from there

I got space grey but I really like the green band. And the white, and the blue...

Got to the pre ordering party a bit late this morning and was only left with a few options that delivered 24/4-8/5. I ended up going with the green sport band as a man. Did anyone other males go with this? And does anyone think it's a bit feminine as Apple's green has always striked me as quite yellow? Thanks

Check out the gym. Lots of guys at the ones I go to wear bright green, blue, yellow, pink (etc, etc) accented things. Any of the sport bands would fit right in. Outside the gym, it depends what you'll be wearing with it.

I like the green a lot (always have liked bright green things) and may buy one as an alternative to the black sport band I got for my space black SS watch

Once I get mine, and I'm happy it's going to be my every day use watch, then I'm considering getting the Milanese loop to switch out for more formal occasions.

I think (or hoped) that we've progressed as a society to not attribute colors to gender.

I would say that it doesn't seem particularly masculine to worry about such things...

Colors =/ Gender. Come on... its 2015.

This reminds me a lot of when the iPhone 4S was released and it was the first time white was a color option for the iPhone. There were countless threads about how the white iPhone seemed to be geared as a feminine product. Years later both male and females purchase both white and gold models, and no one bats an eye.

Get whatever color you want, and I promise you more people who you show the watch to will be more interested in the watch itself over the color/size choice you made.
