Have any ladies opted for it? I’m not a really pink person. I tend to wear cooler colors. I ordered a silver watch this time...but went and picked up a blue one just to see. I haven’t opened it. I have had most of. The colors of watches..pink, silver, space grey, stainless steel etc. I love the idea of something different.

I haven’t and I never would. But I thing it’s beautiful. I just think it’s going to be too limiting. I like matching my watch to my outfits and I like being able to dress it up or dress it down. Then again I get every electronic device in black.
 
I wouldn't because I don't absolutely love the color and if I'm going to wear it daily almost 24/7, I need to love it.

debating heavily whether I want the Hermes double tour attelage (I love the thinner straps) or the double tour in space black (space black > graphite for SS).

once I went SS I couldn't go back to aluminum. I'm used to the weight (which was the deter to begin with) and love the finish.

I’m worried I won’t like going back to aluminum...ugh! What to do. Open it? And have a part time blue watch..and keep my SS for other times??? My S5 is SS. Hmm.... it just get one new SS?? I won’t go with the Hermès bands. I am way too messy. I hate dressing up..even though I go to plenty of fancy places. And I am always washing my hands. I’ll ruin the bands in like 8 minutes. My favorite thing to is wakesurf behind our boat. I am an outdoor water junkie!

I got the silver with a blue braided solo band
I got the silver with the pink citrus band..which is totally not like me! That is being delivered on Monday.
 
I’m not one to lecture about sexism...but I sort of feels like some of the choices Apple makes are for guys. Like with the 44mm..can get the pretty modern buckle. And the colors do the watches... except for the pink which I suffered through...none of the colors are really my cup of tea!

Agreed. Same goes for the leather loop. It was only for the 44mm as if 40mm owners wouldn’t want it.

I'm more of a joggers girl but occasionally I do dress up a bit. but I'm more casual (no make up except maybe mascara and a bit of gloss when I remember) but Hermes leather works very well for me. and I am NOT easy on my things--I'm not super careless but I'm also not anal. I don't put my handbags on the floor but I also wear it often and well. things of quality are meant to be worn over time and broken in imho.

even my apple ss watch has scratches on it, minor hairlike that from afar you can't tell but obviously the surface isn't smooth and shiny like new no matter how much I bluff it.

I just happen to be wearing my watch and bracelet:

I did accidentally sit on my cdc (it was hidden under my pillow and so :x ) so I'm doing this:

but notice the metal, the ring hits it often (as I wear it often) and so it chips away the surface a little...but the finish is still same...not some cheap paint. it needs a spa day.

for me, Hermes is the quality. a better person can probably keep these pieces in mint condition but I like mine to be well worn.
 
I switched from the Gold Alu S4 to the Blue S6 and I love it. I was planning to get a Space Grey before I knew there were going to be new colours, as I prefer dark colours and wear a lot of black.

The blue is fairly dark, I think it looks fantastic.

The blue is too dark/bold for me. I like lighter colors - I wish they had one in the sky blue color of the new IPad Air- I would’ve bought that one!

instead I ordered this- I’m excited!

My original AW was silver, my current S4 is Space grey and I love it. I've got a blue S6 on order and expecting to love that too. I live in dark colours, never wear pink or anything like so the dark colours suit me. The silver is too nondescript for me.

100%

I was pretty annoyed with that, to the point I ended up going to a third party for a mock one.

I do think the blue Watch is pretty, but I'll stick with my silver stainless steel. I'd considered the space black one at one point (I'm all about the versatility of basic black), but ... I'm good with silver.

I ordered the blue 44mm. I’m coming from a Series 4 in the blush gold. I’ll miss having a stainless steel but I love the color blue.
 
I think I am loving the blue so far! I’m keeping my SS S5 too.

I have a 44mm Space Grey S5, and I love it. I'm drooling over the blue, but there's just not enough difference other than the color between the S5 and the S6 for me to justify the cost. Now, if the iPhone 12 comes in that blue, sign me up!!
