Your comments are applicable to owning a car. Some of us love to have luxury cars and some of us prefer non luxury cars. Both car types have typical car functions and we choose to buy a car based on our budget, color preferences, etc. All these also apply to owning an Apple Watch.
It’s not nearly comparable with an Apple Watch. It’s a few hundred quid difference, not tens of thousands. An Apple Watch isn’t a status product in any sense.
 
I know most people don't notice but I do know two people in my office that would and again in my field, I don't want to give off that luxury appearance, if I was in Sales I definitely would. Frankly if I only had one Apple watch it would probably be the SBSS but with 3 I can wear them to what I believe are their individual strengths for my situation.
Sorry to hear you feel that way.
I don't know, I don't mean to sound crass, but I don't dress flashy and I would drive 10 miles to save $5 on a shirt. But on the flip side would spend the money for the ceramic.
My 2010 tacoma with 250k runs great. The ceramic would be 3 car payments. So I look at it as 3 car payments.

Why sorry? I guess I don't understand where you have the issue. Ti works great for me in the office, Ceramic outside of the office, if you want to utilize the Ceramic for all scenarios more power to you and I definitely have no issues with you feeling that way.
 
Marine Green Sport Band

E9BF4D24-4860-4293-A0D4-F91407E1A7EF.jpeg


LOVE this watch with light colored bands. With dark bands? Not so much LOL
 
Picked up today at Apple Store Third Street Promenade. Still back and forth on keeping it but it definitely looks great.

Im curious, did you check online to see if it was available or did you just happen to be at the Apple store and found out they have it? The apple store in San jose said they don't have any of titanium and ceramics in stores..
 
Thinking of returning my titanium for the ceramic. How are you guys enjoying it? Is it too flashy?

I think lesser people notice it than we think. I don't really wave it at people's faces haha.. i feel what matters is whether u like the whiteness and the bands that come with it. i personally think it's fun and fresh, but will depend on how you feel about it. :) My friends are also not surprised i splurged for the white cos i do like white and colors a lot.

Thinking about what to buy: Ceramic vs Titanium black vs SS Black series 5? Wearing suits 99% everyday. May I know Your suggestions?
I look at it like crazy socks; I work from home now so don’t have that issue; but even with the stainless steel I would to a red band or something to pop. You don’t want to look like everyone else.

Hi5 man! totally agree with your crazy socks analogy.. i have about 30 bands so i'm just color matching shades to what i'm wearing to work (my job's in smart casual attire), for eg lavendar gray to my gray polo shirt today. it's fun to just do colour matching haha... though not so good on my wallet cos of the band buying hoho..

oh and one more point.. i think it's the only watch case that will never discolor (turn yellow) or show visible scratches so u always have a pristine white look.. i do really like that about the ceramic, assuming u take good care of it :)

Ugh I want the Ceramic sooo bad. It looks great with those bands you have.

I’m saving up for the series 6 which I hope they make in ceramic. My series 4 space black is still chugging along.
 
Da
Damn, I hate you too lol. What a great colour. Now I had better go looking fir that band. It’s my watches one old birthday present 😊

Ceramic AW is a status product. It is the flagship high end AW which is recognizable with its premium and price, making it a standout product above the masses or majority AW. The ceramic Apple Watch is the most beautiful AW in the series. Wearing the ceramic gives the pride to whoever wears it.

Finally left Anchorage. S6 is going to out before I get this thing
The excitement is just starting. I remembered that day.

My order has gone from delivery in 4 to 5 weeks to delivery in 2 to 3 weeks. I sooooo can’t wait for it to arrive. Hopefully it will be delivered even sooner as I have to return my gold ss tomorrow and it is going to be terrible without an Apple Watch!

I enjoyed it immensely. I returned my SBSS for ceramic. Ceramic gives you premium feeling. It is not too flashy. Sure, it stands out but it is a gorgeous stand out. It brings the best out of the dark glass and AW unique frame shape.

Agreed. It so nice to have a ceramic back on my wrist. Day one and I keep looking at it. Currently wearing a Nike Sport band in white and black and it blends beautifully. Saving my Meyer lemon leather loop for the weekend. I might do some shopping on ebay tonight and pick up a couple of rip off bands in bright colours.
