Difference between Series 5 Gold Aluminum and Gold Stainless Steel

[Seashoregirl]

I know this is tough on a computer but can someone please attempt to the explain the color difference. I am looking for the one that looks more like yellow gold. I hope that makes sense. Also, would like to hear any other differences? Thank so much!! It is tough to decide without being able to see them and try them.

The stainless steel one looks more like gold. It’s shiny too. You also get a sapphire screen and lte build in with the SS version. My daughter has the gold SS watch and it looks fabulous.

SS is heavier. Some people like heavy watches. I prefer the lightness of the aluminum. The SS does look better but I prefer comfort over appearance.

The main difference being, the gold aluminum Has a ‘matte’ like finish, where the stainless is a ‘high gloss’ gold shine. Really, that’s the main differential between both of them, but there is a significance in terms of if you want something that has a high gloss shine or a dull-er finish.

IMHO, the gold aluminum looks more like "rose" gold than a more true gold color. I prefer the color of the SS model.

The gold stainless is shinier, heavier and double the price. The gold aluminium is very light and has a more matt finish. I prefer the aluminium models for the lighter weight personally and had a gold series 2 model for 3 years. The internals are the same across the whole range.
