I was walking around with my grey at the weekend and it looked really nice in the sunlight
I have just seen that FedEx have delivered my gray ceramic so that'll be waiting when I get home. It replaces my Series 0 Hermes. The SS does last pretty good but mine has lots of fine scratches and marks from its almost 2 years of use. It still looks good but it could never be described as spotless, unfortunately.
I just wish that Apple would eventually allow a Hermes owner to transport the watch faces to a newer watch, regardless if it is an Hermes or not. They could do this by associating watchfaces with AppleID. If I sell on my Hermes to someone else then my ID loses the right to the faces. If I keep the Hermes but want to use the faces on my Edition then my AppleID allows that.
That would be very cool!
Does anyone have the Apple leather band or loop that they use with their white ceramic? Or Hermes single tours?
I want to get a leather band but not sure what colour goes best with the white ceramic...

The blue leather loop loop looks amazing on the white ceramic. I saw it on the display at the apple store.
You guys are going to cost me $500 in new bands for the White Ceramic thanks to this thread. Thanks 
The "cosmo blue" leather loop right? I kinda like the midnight blue more but that's not for sale anymore
Hehe you can't stop at just one band! Which ones are you getting?
I have not yet decided but I know I'll be heading to the store once my replacement White Ceramic arrives (on Friday!) and get some more. Already have Sport: White, Black, Original Blue, Cobalt Blue, Fog, New Product Red, Nike Black/Volt, Nike Platinum/Black (arrives next week). Vinyl: Orange Woven, Black Woven, Pride. Sport Loop: Spicy Orange. Upgrading to Leather or Black Link might be an option too... :/
I hear ya. I realy like the look of the white with the bands better then my grey but the white is just to out there for me and not a color i would ever wear as a watch. I just wish they would make the AirPods in black already lol.

Watch arrived today - Very happy with the Grey Ceramic choice. Sport band feels nice, but I’m looking forward to receiving my Charcoal Grey Leather Loop - Think it’ll class it up a bit.
Here are some photos because I know I was crawling the web for photos all weekend! Some pictures beside my Mac for color comparison.

Looks great. Post some pics once you get the charcoal loop. I may add that one next too but I really like the comfort of the sport band and the ceramic fastener is a nice little touch too.

I love the watch, great upgrade from S0! But I have to admit... the white looks pretty nice, I’m not 100% sure I made the right choice, lol.

get the leather loops as you will see no adapters. Charcoal grey, Midnight blue (If you can find one) even the old black one will look stunning !

awesome combo's although I must say the light conditions are coloriwise a bit confusing. How does the SS adapter of the classics leather band looks in the ceramic grey ?

In the video is some footage of the ceramic grey with the charcoal leather loop:
No I just used the gallery on the Apple site and chose that one- I have the Nike platinum and black sport band on order. Really looking forward to see how that one matches up
If you get right up to it, you can see the color difference, but the silver sort of blends with anything so it isn’t bothersome. Under normal use you’d never notice.
When S0 first came out there were similar videos... but it turned out the scratching was just in the anti-gloss coating. There are old threads on here about that, where people went on the scratch off the entire coating to find the actual crystal in perfect condition. Are we certain this isn’t the same effect?

Video shows the sapphire crystal lightly scratching to materials softer than should be able to scratch it.
I should have just kept my Nike Watch order...

He shows at the end down get burn test to test if it was the protective coating and it was indeed not, it was the actual sapphire being scratched at a 6 rating (instead of an 8 which is usual for sapphire).
