I agree with the other posters. Buy a SS or a ceramic watch. There's nothing really "stupid" about your annoyance. Real life is not usually very rational. A scratch on my AW would bother me also, and I'm 87-years old. This is why I bought a Series 3 gray Edition AW.
I would probably not like the scratch and I would somehow “see” it all the time. I wouldn’t replace though and with the SS models, I have abused the watch and never noticed a scratch on the face.Well, after a good night's sleep - I answered my own question; yes, it's stupid. Sticking with the S3 the way it is. Thanks for letting me verbalize my thoughts here!
Any scratch on anything I own bothers me.I would probably not like the scratch and I would somehow “see” it all the time. I wouldn’t replace though and with the SS models, I have abused the watch and never noticed a scratch on the face.
I’ve seen people obsess over a scratch on the back of the watch.![]()
Personally, it would bother me. That’s why I use a screen protector.
I’ve had 2 sport models, a series 1 and now a 3. Never had a scratch on either but I use a screen protector. Never had a single mark on the body.When I owned my Sport model, It accrued a minor scratch. I sold in two days because it annoyed me. Upgraded to the stainless model and no scratches whatsoever.
So, how much more did you ultimately spend?SBSS came in today and color me impressed. Very nice fit and finish and has some heft to it - I feel like I'm wearing a watch again (I come from a long line of mechanical watches for many years). I think the SS actually pairs better with the variety of bands I have, so there's a bonus.
Ran into trouble un-pairing my old watch, so had to set this one up as new - no biggie. Funny to notice the backups of my old S0 and S1 still in the watch app!
Updating to 4.2 as I type this (I guess one downside of the back-up not working correctly...)
Anyone want to buy a slightly used Space Grey Series 3 non-LTE with a scratch on the face you can only see in direct sunlight???![]()
The difference between the Nike+ and the SBSS is 220 bucks! So, I guess that's how much more I ultimately spent.So, how much more did you ultimately spend?
And you are okay w that considering that when the Apple Watch 4 comes out, yours will be worth less than $300?The difference between the Nike+ and the SBSS is 220 bucks! So, I guess that's how much more I ultimately spent.
Hey if you’re going to buy the LTE you have to enable it. It will be like walking round with a halve working watch, what’s a few extra bucks a month?

I wore my SS series 0 for 2.5 yrs and will wear my SS S3 for at least that long. Resale is not a consideration for me. I think the upgraded materials are worth it. I have to look at it all day long and want to be delighted each time I do.And you are okay w that considering that when the Apple Watch 4 comes out, yours will be worth less than $300?
Also, you’re not using LTE?
With all due respect, why do you care? If one waited to buy the latest and greatest of technology, one would never buy anything for the fear that the next version is just around the corner.And you are okay w that considering that when the Apple Watch 4 comes out, yours will be worth less than $300?

Actually, I’m in the same dilemma and just want to hear your thoughts. Easy, killer. Do you enjoy LTE?With all due respect, why do you care? If one waited to buy the latest and greatest of technology, one would never buy anything for the fear that the next version is just around the corner.
And, I am using LTE now, just set it up yesterday.
I appreciate your concern for me and all, but I'm happy with my decision. I'm sorry you aren't.
Apologies - hard to ascertain tone sometimes, plus I'm crotchety and old, so there's that....Actually, I’m in the same dilemma and just want to hear your thoughts. Easy, killer. Do you enjoy LTE?
I get the impression that those who say the price of SS watch is not worth it want the SS but, really can’t afford it and are justifying settling for the aluminum. Not criticizing, just saying.
This^^^. Why can’t people just accept that we don’t all think alike and value things differently.With all due respect, why do you care? If one waited to buy the latest and greatest of technology, one would never buy anything for the fear that the next version is just around the corner.

I got the same exact watch yesterday. Nice job! Enjoy yourself! That's what life is about.https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/show-off-your-apple-watch.1872015/page-336#post-25584843
Last night I upgraded to the SS AW3 w/cellular. Life is too short and I work my ass off. I deserve a few nice things.
