Inspired by an earlier poster and rumours that it is to be discontinued I decided to pick this band up again:
I have had it previously but when I gave my S0 SSSB Watch to my dad I gave him the original SB Link with it.
I’d forgotten how light and comfortable the band was to wear!

- Sapphire Screen
- Stainless Steel Body
That's what the $200 premium accounts for. For me - I kept my first watch 3.5 years, I'll keep this one at least 3. It's worth the premium just because 3.5 years later I had not a single mark on my watch screen.
It's more 'bronze' gold, than 'rose' gold. The 'rose' gold was even more pink, but I take your point completely.
I thought the old (yellow) gold aluminium watches were awesome. They came out 2 months after I bought my series 0, and I confess I was ever so disappointed to have missed out. That was exactly what I was looking for in a watch.
You are still within your Apple return window, so you could return it if you wished.
It makes all the difference to me. Makes the AW feel like a legitimate quality watch and not just a sports watch. Pretty important to me as I wear suits for the office daily.
Boy, this picture is too big, but I don't know how to make it smaller.
44 mm GSS with hot pink (imitation hibiscus) sport loop. got it for when i run and when i want a little attention. not bad for 1/5th the price of an apple band.
That screen protector is hurting my eyes.

Err, that's silver, not space gray
Here is my two watches, (Left) Casio GWG-1000-1A 59.5mm & (Right) Apple Watch Space Gray Aluminum 44mm.
Am i crazy to see that 44mm is too small for me? I wish it was big as Casio watch
again I wonder if the AW was made in Japan, I'm sure it will be build like a tank as Casio

That is a nice combo. I am getting the same gold ss also. Would you know if the gold ss are prone to scuff/scratches like the silver ss one? I have the space black now and it is virtually scuff free even with all the accidental hits I do to it.
The gold SS has a protective coating on it. It's a different one than the space black IIRC but it does have a coating.
44mm SG SS AW4 with link bracelet, had space gray aluminum S0, S2, and S3, went with SS to match the link bracelet this time and am really happy with it. (the Carrot complication wasn't ready when I took this photo coz it was right after I paired it)
Oh ok thanks! Any idea on how durable this coating is? I just hate having spend that much money on this and have it scratched up within a few days (I wear it working out/lifting). I've had the silver ss and a space black, and the silver ss got scuffed up so bad compared to the space black. I just dont want the same thing happen to the gold ss I'm getting.
PVD is inherently less resistant to scuffs than DLC, however, a lot of it depends on the manufacturer and application process. im sure apple researched the durability of the gold SS and it should fare well. people who are rough with their timepieces should perhaps consider the space black or silver SS.
I thought about taking it back and swapping for SS, but I think the SS is the same color.
I actually bought the first one and then when the gold aluminum came out, I sold the first one and bought the gold. I'm afraid they'll do the same thing again but the price tag is so much more, I'll probably just suck it up and keep it. All my jewelry is gold so I was hoping for a gold closer to real gold color.
The stainless steel is definitely a better look for suits and formal environments. But I think you can dress up an aluminum watch with a nice band and make it work with a suit.
Loving the Watch!
EDIT: Sorry for the size of the Picture. I really don't know where to Resize...
