Is it just me, or does the charcoal loop look a little bit navy blue in certain lightning conditions?


Can’t wait for this lockdown to be over, apple store here I come 👀⌚🤔

Yeah, wheniJustine was unboxing, I thought it was a dark blue band but it was the charcoal. I quite fancy that one, but 99 quid seems a bit much for that type of band.

Got it! But to be fair with you, I think the Graphite SS makes a perfect combi with the Black Link Bracelet. Don't you think? 🙂
 
Yeah I’d like to see it with the new Blue Watch. I think I’d prefer the subtler Charcoal to the bright Atlantic Blue.

Picked up my new AW6 SS Silver today from local Apple Store in the UK, loving it. I had SB SS AW4 before but am totally pleased i changed this time

Nice! I made the switch from Space Black to regular SS about a year ago. I had 2 Space Blacks Apple Watches prior, at first it was definitely a lot brighter as I was used to the all black casing but it kept growing on me. I noticed the regular SS matches with pretty much any band, the space black at times just looked too dark and created too much contrast.
Also in my opinion Space Black gave it a more gadget on my wrist feel, regular SS gives it a classy watch feel. Now I wouldn’t hesitate to upgrade to the regular SS over the new Graphite. Congrats! The watch looks great!
 
Does anyone with a new Graphite S6 want to post a comparison picture with an older SBSS? Trying to see how much of a colour change there is between the two and if it’ll mess up band lugs.

For some reason the link on Amazon doesn't work anymore. But here's a screenshot of the name of the brand. I also had purchased a white one for my Series 4 that feels exactly the same but has a dead link also.

Thanks 😊
 
Interesting. I never knew that, always thought I had to have my phone in my pocket.

I forget that Apple Pay in on my watch; think I’ve only used it twice.
Late to reply but 100% correct.

Think of it this way, you dont have a cellular chip on your card to use it contactless 🙂

While I love the Stainless Steel watches, I don’t want to spend that kind of money again. I’m keeping my SSSB 40mm, but I really like the 44mm size. I now considering the SE, because I’m not to crazy about this
always on display, and I never use the ECG, so I doubt I’ll use the blood oxygen. We’ll see when I go to Apple store tomorrow.
