Why would you chamfer the single point on the device most likely to get banged and scraped, as it’s there to protect the screen
I actually think it's the first Apple Watch where the more dinged-up it is, the better it looks. Makes it look more rugged lol.
For it to be lights it would have to hit it at oppposite directions which is possible but to shine on one button that doesn’t have it on the other side - so… I used titanium to replace steel in bicycle racing components back in the day and wiping out would scratch the titanium way more than steel and chunks could get scraped out hitting the pavement.
I’m sticking with my stainless steel S5. It has scratches all over the place but they are so light it’s like patina, the titanium will look and feel like real scratches and gouges. However it is a sports device and not jewellery, so getting beaten up is ok for some folk.
those aren't nicks, bud. they're reflections in the chamfers of the edges due to the lighting.
I think the lights thing is very legit , just watch hands on videos on youtube and you will see , plus it's an impossible situation for a brand new device . I think I like the rigid look of the Apple watch ultra , probably for this reason I will buy a case for my S5 Nike edition.
If you're coming from Garmin-land, dings are signs you're doing it right.I actually think it's the first Apple Watch where the more dinged-up it is, the better it looks. Makes it look more rugged lol.
I won't be using this as an extreme athlete but the bigger screen is nice for my old, senior citizen eyes. I can't make out a lot of the smaller details on the Series 7 watch, etc.
One of the things that I’m most interested in with this watch is if the battery life on this makes it a truly viable watch for leaving your phone at home all day and just using cellular?
Seems like it might be

The only good thing is that maybe the 9 next year will be something worth looking at. Let’s face it, Apple couldn’t make much more of a balls up than this stupid attempt at design. What were they thinking?
Looks like something a kid would pick up at some Chinese dollar store, cheap looking, brash and loud…. Bit like American cars really, large, awkward and in your face with little regard to practicality nor aesthetics.
Look how jagged those screen edges already are! that is just from one day man handling at a expo!!
I have to say it's not the most attractive watch I've ever seen
Also I agree re the width vs length , like the iPhone they make it longer but not wider ...which is arguably more useful especially when typing

Those are light reflections, not dings.
No dings at all!
Just light reflection lol.
Sorry bro but these are very clearly damaged bezels.

You're wrong. Watch the hands-on videos. The "dings" appear and disappear depending on how the light is reflecting. They are reflections.
