We didn't have a Poll on this, so I am creating one!

What apple watch series 7 color do you plan to get? So many different choices of colors, and material and can make it hard on some!

Allowed up to two choices in case you are buying for your significant other.

Currently I have a silver Series 5 and would go for a silver 7 if they had one but with starlight I am unsure if it looks to feminine ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Midnight on the other hand is a nice color but in my opinion the dark watch does not fit universally to the most watch bands as silver does.
 
If I order the 7, I'm going to get the Starlight. I'm still undecided. I really don't need to upgrade from my 6 but I really like the larger screen. I'm waiting to see what the trade in amounts are, that might push me over the edge to order.
 
I am going to be very different this time getting the gold stainless. My first generation AW was silver Aluminum, then I went to the Silver SS AW3, now wearing an Aluminum SG AW5. Like my phones I skip series so was due to get a 7.

I like the Midnight aluminium... but my Series 3 is a Space Grey aluminium, so I'm going with the Silver stainless steel for a bigger change.
 
I would go for the stainless steel, but I don’t really need cellular and the price difference to aluminum GPS is too much for me to compensate for the looks of a piece that I’ll not wear for more than a few years. Thus I’ll go with midnight aluminum, which I think also looks really good!

Still undecided. Have always purchased silver aluminum in the past, so it’s exclusion this year leaves me in a bit of a pickle. Currently trying to decide whether I go for midnight, starlight, or silver SS. I like the midnight color.. but not on an Apple Watch. Too dark for me and doesn’t match many bands. Starlight looks pretty similar to silver in some conditions, but in others it looks like a washed out gold, which isn’t for me. SS is absolutely beautiful, but I’m having a hard time justifying the price. Decisions, decisions.

Oh, and hopefully they announce preorders on Mon or Tues. Fingers crossed!
 
I've had a Space Black SS S0 and went for Silver SS S2 and started to build a solid amount of bands, so when I jumped on the S4 I really needed to stay Silver SS to maintain the compability with my metal bracelet and the adapters on the original two leather straps...

Think I need something fresh and go black again, but damn.. Al those bands I will miss using

I hear what you are saying, I think about my bands too. However, you can anyway wear one at a time. I may change my band a few times a day, but while I use one, the others are sleeping and not in use.

This time, I decided to sell quite a few of my bands with my Gold SS AW5. I might now get Graphite SS. I think savouring feeling of new AW color is greater than a sadness I may feel in letting go some of the bands…just imho.

I'm with you and after looking on them a bit, I think the Space Black Titanium will be my choice. Damn that thing looks good!
 
I normally have bought Space Gray in aluminum or Space Black in SBSS. I for sure am going alumnium this year and was ready to buy silver (I'm a bit burned out of dark colors) but I'm not sure if I like Starlight as a man. Do you all think it is too yellow to pull off as a guy? I tend to wear with a black braided sport loop at work and a black or white regular sport loop at all other times.

Get the color watch YOU want and that you like best. Virtually no one will notice or care what color watch you're wearing.

I stopped into the Apple store the other day to look at the Starlight iPhone 13. It looks mostly silver to me, not a whole lot of gold. Apple’s renderings show the Nike Starlight version paired with some Nike sport bands. I think the cargo khaki one looks especially nice with it:

I honestly have no idea what I'm doing. I've had a S3, S4 and S6 all dark Space black color. I'm getting tired of it. I really like the silver as it pops but is more dressy (and no knows that I have the ss instead of the AL version- is that tacky of me) and I'm more hoodie and sweats kinda guy and because of my occupation I don't really need to dress up in "Business casual". So the black SS works for me. Also the coating they put on it makes it extremely durable. I'm not careful at all about my watch and the case looks great. I also because I'm anal add a screen protector (I know) that as a few marks on it. With the silver SS I'm worried about the micro scratch that happens over time.
Also this year's update is kinda lame. I'm thinking I may just go for the midnight Al with a screen protector with the intention of upgrading to the SS S8 next year. I never use the cellular. I'm so used to the SS feeling I don't know if I can go back to the Al. I do like the better sapphire crystal on the SS. I may use the savings of going aluminum and get a new iPad mini not to mention the rumor of the MacBooks, you know the thing that allows my to pay for all my itoys 😂

Space Gray (or in this case Midnight) is more universal and goes with a wider range of nice clothes, but I want a change. I love the look at Blue, but I’m afraid it might pop too much when dressing up…so I’m considering the Green since it a darker and more subdued color.
 
Probably green or midnight. I really wanted to go silver this time but starlight is very unappealing to me and likely wouldn't go well with my skin tone either.
