May I reiterate, I HATE all of you. Barclay emails me 0% financing. If I purchase the S5C and dump the S3C and pay throw the money I was going to use on the Ti then it's $20 a month.

Oh man why the big black dot
Just picked my new phone up from my local Apple store and they had the Ceramic on display. Jeez it looks nice.
The black dot didn't look too bad. Not sure if it was just the lighting but looking at it from different angles, the black dot seemed to shimmer and looked like a metallic space grey in the light

I went nd picked up my phone today and had the opp to look at the ceramic.
Gorgeous absolutely beautiful.
I was seriously disappointed in how close the Al and Ti colors look. Not that I am trying to say look at me however when paying the premium I prefer a little uniqueness.

How are shipping orders going with the ceramic. Anyone’s dates changed and moved forward yet?

Can’t answer that but I just ordered a ceramic AW5 and I’m already Preparing to Ship with 10/2-10/3 delivery date! I’ve been watching delivery dates on Edition models, and many of them had slipped into November and earlier today they basically all changed to 10/2-10/3, so that’s probably a really good sign for those waiting.

Would anyone be willing to share a few photos showing off their AW5C with various bands? Just ordered one today and have been drooling over every video and picture I can find.

It’s simply the only Apple Watch to buy this year if you are upgrading from a Series 4. Titanium looks awful and apparently scratches easily if you believe these forums, Hermès is a huge disappointment (I’ve owned every Hermès version of the Apple Watch), but the bands are bad, the black version is basically the SSBS with a swfit leather black band which is Hermès worst leather in my opinion.

I was excited when Apple announced the Series 5, but in all reality they took the year off except for the beautiful ceramic case.

All the scratching seems to be on the silver titanium not the black titanium. The ceramic is a $500 premium over titanium and $600 over SS. It is beautiful but I feel overpriced. And it does lack versatility vs the SS and Titanium in a more professional setting.

Picked mine up yesterday at the store. Really loving it especially with the white California face!

Haven’t tried other bands yet as I’m still enjoying the original band that came with the watch. However am interested in getting the nylon white nike strap sometime in the near future.

I ordered last Wednesday with a Yellow Meyer band and its still stuck on processing 14th-21st October. Must be something to do with the bands

ZIIRG what is your wrist circumference? I have small hand and wrist , I believe it was 6.5" circumference when I checked, do you all think this watch face is too big? I tried the 40mm as well and it looks small . I wish they had a 42mm, but this is the 44mm on my wrist. thoughts anyone? thanks in advance.

I have a 7-inch wrist. I bought the 44mm model. I think the 44mm fits you fine. Looks good on you! ?

I think it looks great on you. I also have a smallish wrist and have always gone for the larger sized AW. I’ve tried on my wife’s smaller watches and they always look too small/feminine. In your top photo, you can clearly see that the body of the watch doesn’t reach the edges of your wrist. In my mind, that means it’s not too large. Enjoy it! I can’t wait for my ceramic AW5 to arrive next week!

Edit: I just measured my wrist and it is also 6.5”!

Also, thanks to those who shared pics. I’ve been scouring the web, drooling over every pic/video of the ceramic I can find until mine arrives...

yes that’s what I think too, it does stay within the edge of my wrist . the 40 looks so feminine. I havent tried the other bands but I’m afraid that the hard bands like the white one Above will protrude outside the edge of my wrist a lot . But I do love this color more than the chrome SS and I wanted something different than SG ! It is beautiful

i like it but I’ve never had this type of band before as I’m coming from a series 0 :) I don’t like the velcro, it doesn’t appear to stick well; not that it would move I imagine but I will find out soon

I have had them before. The Velcro is pretty awesome. Sometimes you have to adjust it a few times to get the fit just right, but I’ve never had an issue with the Velcro not sticking. I see what you mean though from the Apple pictures. There’s not that much of a gap between the two sides of the band IRL.

One more question - do you guys like the Ceramic body with the SS Milanese loop? I own one from my AW0. I like the SB Milanese better (looks like a tuxedo), but I’m wondering if the regular Milanese looks funny with it.

Also think the Velcro works fine, I don’t like wearing it as a sports band or in hot weather because they will really hold sweat and need washed then take quite a while to air dry.

I had one with my SS S4 and I didn’t think it looked good at all with the Ceramic or Ti, so bad I gave it away with my S4 when I gave it to my friend yesterday.
