Today’s look, my favorite band ever:
Hermes Étoupe single tour 44mm.

I'm sure its that so called "brushed" finish, and seeing it in real life is really beautiful.
Thing is, I had written off the Space Black Titanium (SBTi) myself back during S5 when it was new because i was in the "it looks too much like SG aluminum" camp of seeing pics of it, but when you see it closely in real life, no it actually doesn't. I would encourage anyone thats on the fence about SBTi to come into an Apple Store (if open in whatever country you're in) and try it on for themselves, only you can decide for yourself if you like it.
That being said, my main 'warning' about SBTi is, its trivial but anyway, if you're after a (Special) Edition Apple Watch that stands out among the crowd and looks markedly different, then Space Black Titanium isn't for you, you should instead go for the White Ceramic because I can see that one really stands out as different with it glossy all-white look (oh wait its been discontinued!). SBTi is in contrast much more toned down, and I think its an Edition Watch because of the unique "brushed" finish, in itself, is much more subtle and harder to notice from a distance. Only other thing is, I find it not as easy to match with bands, which again coming from SS, you could use pretty much anything with it except black-lugged bands and not second-guess yourself. Maybe the natural titanium is like SS and easy to match with anything?
But if that isn't an issue, go for it, the lighter weight on the wrist is really excellent, coming from SS, the Titanium material itself also feels nice and smooth when you pick it up with your fingers, fingerprint smudges on the SBTi are basically non-existent for me (compared to SS, the smudges really weren't great, I don't miss the high-maintainence!). I wasn't actually expecting Titanium to make it into the Series 6, but it did and I'm glad I got to try it, it's unique, but "subtle" is is the key word here
Yeah I haven’t seen it but for September 2019 when we went to choose my bf’s s5 finish and I remember only liking it as a black link pair, for which it is unmatched (will reevaluate when the Graphite comes).I'm sure its that so called "brushed" finish, and seeing it in real life is really beautiful.

It definitely moves up the ranks now that rosey GSS and space white Ceramic are gone and I’ve been around a Natural Ti for a year.
I think I found a combination that I finally like with the new Cyprus Green: Light Orange watch faces.
Now that I think, I’d like an Hermès band this color (or maybe just a bit lighter), with white stitches. I think it would look really cool.

Love this combo and that watch face goes really good with it!

I find my SBSS much harder to pair with colours than my SS - it’s just a black watch thing. That said it absolutely blows away SS with some colours - the “Dalmatian” Nike’s of course, but also some regular SBs. Hermes is an example - the irony being that the SBSS Hermes doesn’t even include the orange it works soooo well with.
In general however I’ve fallen back to wearing my SS when I go to work and thinking of my SBSS as my “casual” Watch for weekends and WFH days. I’m actually wearing my S3 grey ceramic right now, as I did yesterday, as that has surprised me by being still very wearable even without AOD and the “big screen faces” I have used almost exclusively since the S4. I don’t think it goes with many bands however, though I haven’t tried it on anything but its original Grey/Black.
Overall I’m starting to see the SBSS as less and less interesting I think. After years of silver only it was such a difference when I got it, but as the novelty diminishes so does my personal desired-the black body.
Not that it’s SBTi of course, but I personally never considered that as a finish. Still, with no Apple stores to open here and thenEditions not available on line either I’ve never seen one to make a personal decision IRL. Looks good in your pics, I agree.
That does look good, andI totally agree a slightly lighter (which is what I really wanted Cyprus to be) Hermes would be awesome.
As it’s 42mm it can’t be Linen. In any case Linen is probably closest to Alaskan of all the blues. If that really is Alaskan in the top left (which I doubt) it could be Denim I guess as the colours are so out of whack in the picture. Then again Alaskan would have had to photo much darker and Denim a bit lighter in the same shot, which seems unlikely.
I still think Azure, but top left looks more like Cobalt or Ocean to me.
Managed to nab this classic leather for just under £20and another off my wish list is todays band hibiscus but had to pay retail for that but iv been wanting it forever lol

Does anyone have both papaya and flamingo? Can you post a side by side please? Thanks!
Just scored a Black/Lime Blast Nike SB on ebay for half the retail price, open box. Do you guys have any real life pictures?!
I'm a little bit worried 'cause I have a silver Nike watch, but it should look ok.

I don’t have any experience with the SA watch but I think the black/color Nikes look best on SSS and of course all Nikes have the silver pin now so it should be fine. As for the color itself it’s much more pastel in person and quite lovely.

So after a long time with SS I decided (thanks to @iChernov) to get the Titanium. Such a beautiful watch it is!
