Is the new gold aluminum and the stainless steel same?

[royinla14]

Im considering my first Apple Watch. Really want the gold color but with the black Milanese loop. The band alone is 149 so I’m considering getting the aluminum model which is cheaper than the stainless steel and I don’t need the cellular option anyway. The question is if both gold models are the same or not? Any other reason to consider stainless steel?

Judging strictly from pictures, the SS gold looks actually gold, the aluminum gold is still looking like a mix of gold and rose gold. The pics online do a quite alright job of showing the difference. I’m not a fan of the gold aluminum but I am in love with the gold stainless. Also, if you’re into 3rd party bands, look on amazon for the Milanese loops (I know everyone feels differently about “cheaper” bands) just a suggestion.

Any other reason to consider stainless steel?

Sapphire display. Extremely protective and prevent scratches. It’s the sole exclusivity to the stainless model.

The Aluminium Gold is definitely not Rose Gold shaded and you can confirm it here
