I seriously need to stay out of this thread. Its making me regret returning my Ceramic and I have one loaded in my Apple shopping cart....
Checking in with the Saddle Brown leather loop! Just arrived on Monday.
I have to admit, after wearing nothing but SS models since 2015 (S0, S2, S3 and S4), the ceramic is taking some time to grow on me, but it's definitely getting there... I also have a Midnight Blue leather loop from 2015, nicely weathered after the years... Leather loops look awesome with this model, I think!

yes I have this combo as well and Super tempted to get the black leather loop from this season haha... think the reason why it works is cos of the full colour look without any metal lugs. Looking forward to collecting more bands!
The ceramic is a strange strange model. I had nothing good to say about it when it was released. I put one on and I had to have it.
S5 came out, F the ceramic. Then I came here. Then I tried it on. Then I ordered it.
It’s surely not for everyone, but for those it is, it’s love.
Don’t have regret. Buy it again and enjoy it.
I am a Levi’s and the cheapest polo style shirt person. I don’t wear watches normally.
I’ve had the S0 SS, S2 SS and ceramic, S3 ceramics, S4 SBSS and S5 ceramic.
I’ve only been happy with the ceramics.
treat yourself and enjoy
I’m just realizing this— I checked istocknow and yeah— there just isn’t physical inventory anywhere.
But I also mean that you can’t order online from other retailers like Amazon or Best Buy, either. Interesting.
That’s a big ole negative. This ceramic is Apple exclusive this time around. I believe Best Buy had ceramic refurbs at one point.
don’t fret about delivery, you can always redirect it to a UPS store. I did that to avoid the signature required game.
My guess is that it's because Apple Watch Studio is currently limited to Apple Stores and the Apple Online Store. Unlike the other models with standard band configurations (e.g. space gray/black with black sport band, silver with white sport band, gold with pink sand/stone sport band, etc), the titanium and ceramic models have no standard band configurations. At least that's how I'm seeing it, since you can't buy any Apple Watch or Apple Watch Nike models from third party retailers outside the usual band configurations.
In all honesty, I think that looks cool. A sign of the journeyman.
Sometimes scars mark who you are and where you’ve been.
The ceramic S3 used to be available from other stores outside Apple but I don’t think the S5 ceramic is available from anywhere except Apple
I don’t think that’s accurate then. We definitely have inventory at our flagship store of all the Edition watches, just checked.

Good to know. I may have to swing by my store and just ask if they ever get those in or whether I should just order online already.
Magic Eraser is great at getting rid of weird stains and stuff - not sure how it would affect the surface of the watch though....
I’m going to try the cooktop cleaner someone recommended. The worst it can do is leave a weird finish and I’d be no worse for wear in that aspect lol.
Otherwise I will try the magic eraser.
So the cooktop cleaner and some gentle rubbing and patience helped to get every mark off of it. You can’t tell anything even happened unless under the microscope.
So happy I got this instead of the Ti. My coworker who is really into material design will be pleased to hear I fixed it, he though it was chemically bonded to the finish for some reason.
I’m enjoying some new old stock woven nylon bands, it’s a shame apple didn’t make more with space gray hardware to match the ceramic.
