Lets keep those pics coming for those in shipping hell!! :)

First impression, I am not sure I like how much they have rounded the corners from what i have seen in real world photos. Reminds me of the cheap looking Pebble watches but maybe its a camera effect.
Or those who just can't afford the new watch right now at all

Also yeah the corners are really rounded, I really love rounded corners but man they went all out this time ― I don't mind it though

Yes it is!!!
Can I see on a variety of faces? Also please check if there's the original Modular face and not that stupid Infograph Modular one

Sorry for the request, us peasants just don't get access to the new complications because we can't afford to drop $500 out of a hat

This is the best I've been able to do. I would probably describe it as more of a coppery rose gold.

The gold aluminum & the gold stainless are different shades it seems. The aluminum being closer to the rose gold of previous releases and the stainless being that new new gold that everyone is talking about. Beautiful watch either way.

It’s here! It’s Here!! 40mm SS Gold

Do you have different bands you could show with it, when you are able and if it isn't too much trouble :). I love the color but wondering how it looks w/ the bands I already have collected. It looks good w/ that stone color sports band! Congrats!

THANK YOU! Would you say it looks like brass? Or more gold-ish?, if that makes sense.
It definitely looks more pink toned in person that in the picture. Definitely not brassy since that tends to be more on the golf side.

Ok, thanks! Trying to decide on which one to get. Currently rocking the first gen space gray. LOL Can't tell if it's as pink at the 3rd generation watch.

No, it has more brown in it - I'd say bronze would be a better description, but with a pink hue. Definitely not yellow-gold.

I haven't seen the SS in person, but I agree that they definitely seem to be very different shades of gold. I think I read somewhere that the aluminium gold is a hybrid of the earlier standard gold and rose gold to replace them both.

It definitely looks more pink toned in person that in the picture. Definitely not brassy since that tends to be more on the golf side.

The pinkness really doesn't show on camera, even on the official photos. I tweaked it as best I could, but it's impossible to account for how it looks on different screens. It really is a case of seeing one in person to be sure.

It has definitely grown on me throughout the day.

For some reason the true color doesn’t come across well in pictures. I was expecting a more true gold (obviously I know that the aluminum wouldn’t match up to the SS). I want to try it with a few different bands before making a final call.

It's definitely not as pink as the rose gold. If you put a picture of the rose gold and the regular gold next to each other, then try to imagine them having a baby, that's what you'll get with the S4 gold. :D

Unfortunately not showing off my own watch but just got back from the Apple Store and picking up my XS Max and let me say that gold SS is absolutely stunning in person.

It is a warm, bronzey copper brown color which is much preferred for me then the pinker hues and I tried with the forest green leather loop and many other bands and it looks amazing.

Just sharing, hopefully my order bumps up!
