Yes sir, that is indeed a Series 5 Ceramic. Congratulations!! A fantastic price.

I ordered a S5 Ceramic off a reputable seller of Apple products on eBay for £349 last year. Certainly too good to be true. And it was. The seller cancelled the order about 3 hours later.

I saw in your other thread that you were worried about the battery being a replacement. My S5 Ceramic purchased in October came with 99% battery health. One good thing is that it also came with AppleCare+ until October 2022!!

Check the ‘Apple Support’ app on your iPhone and see what support coverage you’ve got.

Cheers buddy. No AppleCare+ for this one but a warranty until Jan 2022.

It’s possible this thing was just barely used so the battery is valid. And it seems to be on par with my other S5 from what I’ve used so far, so it should be good.

bought mine when it was released in 2019. hoping apple releases S7 ceramic this year
Would you be happy getting 2 years off your existing S5 Ceramic if you upgrade to a S7 Ceramic?

Also, if there was an S7 Ceramic then what colours would you like?

I’ve got the Series 3 Ceramic in Grey and the Series 5 Ceramic (white). What I liked about the Series 3 is that the ceramic colour ‘envelopes’ the watch more. You see the colour on the sides and on the rear. I know you can’t see the rear when you’re wearing it but it’s nice knowing that extra colour is there.

I'm totally with you, as much as I'd love a ceramic s5, it just doesn't feel quite as thoughtfully designed as the s2/s3 models. If the price was lower, sure- but the amount of actual ceramic craftsmanship you get with the s5 makes the price a lot harder for me to swallow.
 
Ceramic club new joiner here too. I've got two ceramic watches.

Been looking for "the perfect S5 ceramic" since I missed @larzy 's sale end of last year. With a big help from fellow watch-and-bandaholic @RPhoto (👋) I am now the happy owner of a brand-new S5 Ceramic which I intend to keep for a long, long time! 🤍❤️🥰

I also own a Grey Ceramic S3 which was a purely opportunistic purchase. Stumbled upon an offer from a local seller for $260 - watch in mint condition with 97% battery health, I just couldn't say no. I love the craftsmanship and definitely enjoy wearing it, despite it being a bit behind software wise.

@geekiemac congratulations on the new edition. It looks amazing. Makes me miss mine 😳

I lowered the price for the white series 3 edition model I have for sale, so if anyone is looking for a series 3 in white ceramic look in the marketplace. Only 300 euros 🥳

I had the ceramic S3 and upgraded to the ceramic s5 when it came out. i'm going to have to see the how the ceramic s7 will look and if apple releases one this year. they seem to be skipping ceramic every even S-cycle. how about you?

Oooh I’d have to see. I paid £800 for my ceramic S5 in October last year. I don’t think I’d go to a ceramic S7 so soon, I wouldn’t have got my money’s worth.

However, depending on how gorgeous a ceramic S7 is…I could be swayed. As of now, if there’s no ceramic S7 then I’m 99% certain that I won’t upgrade to any other S7 model.

I'm on the same boat as you! if there's no ceramic s7, im sticking with my ceramic s5.
