i like the look of the 42mm rose gold aluminium with orange band but little worried it will be more pink than rose gold than I would prefer. How do they look in real life?
I will say because of that ability, the Rose Gold watch is a nice watch. Its not really my style, but I do like how the color does appear to shift a bit depending on the lighting.Depending on the lighting it can range form gold, to copper, to pink.

OP, check out the color in the Apple store and also maybe pictures on the web to get some idea of the color and if that selection is for you
Have you seen a phone in person? It's about the same to my eyes.
This is why I have mentioned a few times that, IMO, it would make a lot of sense for Apple to ship bands and faces sepparately, even if they require purchasing the ace with a band. I've been told "everyone else does the same thing", but frankly, I don't care. To me that's just a degraded buyer experience that has obvious room for improvement.I have had a look at some pictures that look more pink than rose gold which is why I was asking
Now though I am wondering that the choice of bands seem quite limited on the rose gold (perhaps also the gold though) but then black, which was my second choice also may be limited on band choice. But I quite like the look on the black Milanese.
So many decisions!

The band selections that come with the 42mm rose gold are very limited. Orange - what the heck where they thinking there?! Or midnight blue. The blue is neutral and does look good with rose gold.
I think, though, that might the rose gold color will only have a limited number of bands that go well with it. I selected rose gold for my series 2 anyway.I've had the rose gold 6s+ for almost a year now and it's still my favorite of Apple's colors.
No idea why I tend towards the watches with the most limited strap combinations. I guess silver goes well with most straps? I do like the idea of the Milanese strap though (if it works reasonably on gold, the black variant on black should work okay) but boy are the Apple ones expensive
Like I said, require a bundle with the band. Don;t let me buy without a band, just don't force me to buy some pre packaged configuration. I don't want anything to be cheaper, directly. Let's say I want a black sport watch with a pink band. My option is to buy that watch with the black band and buy a pink band as well. Instead, ring me up for the watch face and a pink band for the exact same cost that watch with the prepacked band would be. I think that would simplify the buying experience (or I guess make it more complex depending on how you see it lol). As it stands I am unlikely to spend a cent on a sport band, and I am sure I am not alone. And lets not forget that their most expensive watch configuration still ships with a sport band... and nothing but a sport band. Peculiar choices.Besides the obvios 'Bands not included' so Apple is nickel & diming plus the confusion of deviating from a century of standard watch practice it would not be a good 'deal'. The Sports band (and all bands) are likely some of Apple highest profit percentage items, so the cost to Apple for including the band is probably less than $10 for the Sports band. That means that if Apple were to remove the band then in order to maintain the same profit percentage margin on the watch (since the band adds so little to Apple's costs) Apple could only lower the cost of the watch by about $12.
So there is no upside to removing the bands and a LOT of downside. You should just look at it as a near ($12) freebie.
That doesn't fit with SKUs.Like I said, require a bundle with the band. Don;t let me buy without a band, just don't force me to buy some pre packaged configuration.....![]()
Sure it does. My latest experience with this is how MS sells their surface (bundled with a keyboard). Not hard to do.That doesn't fit with SKUs.![]()
Just to follow up on this. I received the rose gold with orange nylon yesterday alongside a space black with black nylon.
I really like the rose gold. Whilst there is a pink element it is more metallic orange and I really like it. Am thinking I will look to a black
Milanese loop as well, I think they will complement when I tried the black nylon from the other
The black is going to be returned to Apple
Yeah, my worry was it would look as pink as the phone but it's nice and I prefer to the blackI ordered a 42mm Rose Gold S1. It arrived yesterday and it is definitely not as "pinkish" as the phone. It is subtle and has some copper/orange-ish tones to it. I like it a lot. Plus is the less commonly purchased colour so it stands out a bit more.
See my attached pic.
It looks good!Yeah, my worry was it would look as pink as the phone but it's nice and I prefer to the black
Although the strap is quite bright, it's also not garish either
Yeah unfortunately none of the bands are catered towards the gold or rose gold variants with regards to colour matched clasps.Didn't realise the one they sell has a silver clasp. That's a shame
