Do you think is the same finish or not? I’m torn between the Natural Titanium or Black Titanium
 

Look at her watch when she's holding the phones. I find it very close to the Ultra Watch
Yes, it looks the same color to me looking at this video but can’t be 100% sure. pre order opens in 1 hour here in Europe and not sure which one to get😅

Have you been able to pre-order ? As a fellow European, it was A MESS (Apple Store app is still pending... what a shame) !

It opened 30 min later here in italy. I managed to pre-order it via my laptop because on my phone the App Store wasn’t working. I went with the black titanium for a more stealth look in the end, but still curious about that natural titanium.
 
In France, it wasn't working either.

I pre ordered Black titanium too for the exact same reasons. I'm sure we made the right choice ;)

yep! always had black phones and never got tired of them:)
 
Color is the same but the finish is different:

AWU - smooth finish
iPhone - brushed finish
I can’t understand because I have noticed that this year the Ultra 2 has a touch of gold which clearly the Natural Titanium has in certain light situations while the original Ultra didn’t have any at all.
So maybe the Natural Titanium is the same color as the Apple Watch Ultra 2 but not the original Ultra?

This is the Q that no one seems to be able to answer. Surprised that no one at the hands-on thought to compare them.

MR today said, though, “The finish is very similar to that of the Apple Watch Ultra, which also has a titanium casing.”

At the end of the day, I’m confident they’ll be ‘close enough’ to look good together. Excited! I pre-ordered both the iPPM Natural ‘Tit’ (as it’s been called on here 😄) and the new U2!

I expect this is the correct answer... For comparators the 44mm ti Apple Watch ought to be very close to the new phone as it also has a brushed natural titanium finish. The Ultra isn't a full match to the phone so I ordered the blue PM. Done right it should be stunning. 29 minutes to push my pre pre order through but still got 22nd delivery date. No wrong choices as all the finishes are nice.
 
I don’t think the Titanium looks the same at all based on what I saw in the Apple Store.

The difference could be the finish maybe, but there is a difference.
 
Same shade/colour but the phone is brushed rather than blasted finish wise.

They compliment each other perfectly though (from someone who has both).
