I agree you can get any color. I'm getting the rose gold (not a guy). It's definitely okay. I see guys wearing pink shirts etc. looks good! so flaunt that rose gold / pink! Don't worry about other people!
 
I'm a male. I really can't stand the gold "champagne" color, it just looks too tacky and flashy to me. I expected to dislike Rose Gold as well, but I actually kind of like it, which shocks me. It's more copper than pink and looks more refined and sedated. Unfortunately, it only comes with a white face front. :/

I can't stand white glass on a screen when it's turned off. If there was a Rose Gold model with a black face I would seriously be tempted to leave my all black electronics mentality. I've never owned any electronic device in another color except black (unless black was unavailable).

Hi All,

Kinda like the rose gold option but hey need to ask my fellow forum members - could a guy carry off this colour or is it too feminine?

Thanks!

I've been teased about my gold 6 :)

I just wanted something different, and I keep it in a case anyway. If I didn't, I would be getting the 6s since it went flying on the concrete a few weeks ago.
 
Id have thought if your asking questions about it , 'don't get it' , but on saying that when you see one in the flesh you may make your mind up to get it , so id ask to see one first if you can. I am in a quandry about the colour because I think it looks a little pink , but, on saying that I think the older you get , you , don't worry about things like that , so if its what you really want I'd go for it but if your asking questions and are unsure Id see it first in the flesh because remember you have to live with it for a year or more.
 
I think most guys are buying Rose Gold because it's a new colour. Get whatever colour you like, but it's basically shiny pink. It's a girls colour.

Next you'll be buying the Hermes leather Apple Watch strap! (Also a girls watch design).

We face enough ridicule as Apple owners. Don't make it worse guys!

The Double Tour is definitely a feminine design, but the Single Tour is unisex and the Cuff is masculine. I'm actually interested in the Single Tour.

The idea of pink being a girl color is a bit ridiculous. Yes, consumerism may push that but pink actually used to be a boys color. Maybe if men embrace it more, it will again be consider a men's color.
 
It's so pretty ...haha I don't know why I love the color , but this is why I pre ordered it.

no its not rose gold its pink!

It's strange, all the pics do make it look like it has a pink hue, but it's the exact same color as the rose gold watch and that doesn't look pink at all in its images. I wonder if the black face helps that.
 
I ordered the space grey from Vodafone this morning then decided to change my mind after 4 hours so i tried changing but they wouldn't do it as it was past the time frame or something so they cancelled it for me , it takes 72 hours... in the end i had to get someone else to take the contract out for me for the Rose gold one but hey it is what it is :)
 
Yeah, I know. I read this rose gold was more pinkish, regardless, I like the new color. I don't regard the color as feminine as OP worried about. I see it no differently than a guy wearing a pink polo or t-shirt. Are you getting that rose gold color?

I'd consider the rose gold only if it has a black front. Don't like the rose gold/white combo.
 
I'm a jeweler and rose gold is just another term for pink. It is definitely more feminine, I don't hate it but wouldn't get it, but to each their own.
 
That's because you're imagining your ideal masculine dude using a pink phone or wearing a pink shirt. Odds are 98% of the dudes asking about rose gold on this forum are dainty and fragile with smaller hands than you Lol

I'm not imagining any ideal. Fact is that I have more respect for men who wear pink. I'm sorry if that offends your delicate sensibilities. Wait, no I'm not.
 
so dramatic. And really comparing apples to oranges. PINK IS FEMININE. Always has been. I don't know of any heterosexual men that can safely say he enjoys using a pink device on a daily basis without coming off as questionable. It's pink. I immediately thought "my girlfriend would love that" when I first saw it. No I am not homophobic and no I don't care what others are into. Just calling a spade a spade.

You might not be homophobic, but you are sexist. And the expression "calling a spade a spade" has racist roots, so...not saying your racist, but maybe if you're not, don't use that expression anymore?
 
Eh, I'm a straight male (engaged recently, too), and I'm getting the rose gold 6s+.

I remember when people said the white iPhones were feminine.

And then the yellow gold phones were feminine.

Rose gold is a beautiful color, and I'm excited to try something new.
