Hi everyone - new member here. I just moved from Android to iOS system with purchase of a new iPhone 12 Pro. So this is my first AW and have been having hard time making a decision. Trying out AW so don't want to spend a ton of money. However, I was able to get a great deal on an AW SE Gold and an AW6 Blue. I am perfectly fine with SE (no ECG, SpO2 and AOD) so 6 isn't a must have for me. Deciding between the looks mainly and my original concern was that gold (SE) will be pinkish. However, when paired with a black sport band it doesn't look feminine and I sort of like the contrasting look. What are your thoughts? Which one, purely looks wise, do you prefer? Blue one is the AW6 GPS+Cellular and Gold is SE GPS.

In the middle of this pandemic, if money is not an issue, you should always go for the 6. You never know if and when the blood oxygen app could come in handy.
 
I... actually kind of like this? Not in the way that I'd ever wear it, but like in a way that it doesn't look bad on camera.

I would say to go for the 6. If you're on a budget, pick up a used gold stainless steel Series 4. It's cheaper than an SE and still has the ECG.

I vote for the blue. Sharp looking and has the functionality of the series 6

is... is the bottom smudged? or are my eyes just not working? it's.... not supposed to look like that.

It’s a knockoff the OEM Pride band’s stripes stay full all the way to the top of the band, this one tapers at the top and of course your observation of it looking smudged, the OEM’s colors are solid all the way through with the squiggly lines vs this one that looks smudged and the colors don’t look as solid. Also I can tell the band is thinner (silicone) vs OEM’s thicker (fluoroelastomer). You can see the cut of the band on the edges, knockoffs are never really great at smoothing out the edges like OEMs. I feel like the band detective here! Btw I’m not knocking the knockoffs. Not trying to get anyone upset here lol if that’s what someone likes then they have every right to like what they like. Knockoffs just aren’t everyone’s preference just like OEMs aren’t everyone’s preference also ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yeah, it for sure looks printed on, but still... smudges??? I feel like that would be even HARDER to do if you’re printing it.
 
Forget my apple watch I can't wait for the apple glasses to come out. Apparently they're coming out in 2021 or 2022. Can't wait!

They look revolutionary apple just don't know when to quit.
