I have been able to visit the local Apple store today and I had the opportunity to wear an AW6 in various combinations of material and bands.

While the watch looks and feels exactly the same as of AW5, I was quite impressed by the new solo loop braided band: it looks great and gives a fresh look to your watch.

However we had to try 3 times before finding the right size for me (6), so be careful if you order online.

I will definitely move to AW6 but I will go for a non premium one (Nike 44mm GPS) so that when hopefully next year we will see something really new (micro led, different form factor, radical battery improvements?) I will have the perfect excuse to pass this AW6 to my son and invest in a premium AW7 that I will keep for the following 2-3 years.

Did you have a AW5?

Did you try the Apple Watch sizing printout beforehand? Curious to know where you landed on that if so.

Does your store show stock for the solo braided loop online?

Were you able to compare Space Black and Graphite colors?

No, I just saw the silver stainless steel and the aluminium black.

Apparently some materiLs and colors were missing: I have asked for the Ti and they told me that was available online only
