It’ll be the same glass as all other AW’s with the surround made out of the same material as the watch choice. In this case the surround will be ceramic.
Is the ceramic edition Watch face color the same as the natural titanium edition watch face color? I know that the SBTI is darker, not sure between ceramic and Ti.

no they have their own individual shades for edition colour. It’s not the same.
Ceramic’s white, sbti is dark grey and ti is light grey..
noticed it while watching the titanium I boxing’s and comparing to mine..

Well I decided in favor of returning my ceramic and sticking with my Stainless Hermès. While the ceramic is beautiful, I don’t find it as versatile as the SS when it comes to bands. I know it’s totally a preference thing but I have so many watch bands that go with the SS and only a few with the ceramic. I figure I can always purchase it again if I feel like I really need to have that glorious white again.

Interesting. If you collect the bands, why not collecting the watches? You could have kept both, no?

Fair point, I just don't want to own two watches I guess. Don't see the point.

since we're on the subject of the back of the watch, I do find this ceramic model just a _little_ less interesting than the older versions (design wise)- it would have been really neat if they could have stuck with the unibody construction for the case itself, since the whole thing is already ceramic. Don't get me wrong, I'm still planning on getting the new model at some point here, but I think the old one was a little bit more impressive with the ceramic wrapping around the back more fully.
Did you return the titanium as well? I am trying to decide between that and stainless steel again. As you mentioned it is more versatile.

Oh ok good to know. I’m still having a hard time deciding but leaning towards the stainless again.

I visited the Apple Store today. I currently have the S5 SB SS. I am still within my exchange window. I looked at the SB Ti. I had mixed feelings. I liked the fact that it was somewhat lighter. Yet, I did not like the fact that the screen and surround, look very distinct because of the matte finish of the SB Ti. They really blend together, much better on the SB SS watch. I also felt the SB ML, worked better with the SB SS watch. The ML bands are the only bands I can easily use, so I will be sticking eith them.
I ended up returning the SBTi because it just didn’t do much for me appearance wise. Currently debating between the ceramic and SS. Both “pop” to me. The SBSS I had for the past two watches and want a change but do like it. Stay away from the SB Milanese band. You have to be way to careful with it to both scratch the screen.

The band. Like the SBSS but had that combo a couple of versions ago and the SB ML really does cause scratching issues....

I just got a new charger which allows me to keep the watch on its side and the band well away from the watch. When I first got an AW (S4). I used the puck tgat cane with it which certainly caused scratches.
