I'm actually curious of its Space Gray instead of Space Black. I swear I remember early on Apple used to call the dark pins Space Gray. In the Chargerstore comparison photo that @Vangeli posted, it looks lighter than the assumed SBSS on the far right with 2nd Gen Black.
Yeah so the Gray Sport Band box is totally lying. According to the text and even the box art, Gray has a normal silver stainless pin.

And I was right, Space Gray was temporarily a pin color Apple offered. Here's a first gen black with a very definitely not SBSS pin.

So now I wonder if first gen black exists with a SBSS pin other than Noir Hermes?

I wrote and deleted a facetious response earlier that it’s actually a Space Gray pin like the Nike bands. Impossible to tell the difference though visually.

Maybe just semantics depending on whether it’s meant for aluminum or steel pairing on the sales floor.

Yeah, looking at all the various actual photos across eBay the pin on the gray band looks like Space Black. If it isn’t technically Space Black, I don’t care. Looks close enough and the band only cost me $14 😂

Yes, please, if only to see the android neckbeards go ballistic on reddit.
Honestly I think it could work. The S8 design uses less metal than the S0 because the back is mostly ceramic, so it could be a fair bit cheaper. Especially if they do like the ceramic and use a steel cage with a shell of gold instead.

And after watching the introduction video, hypnotically narrated by Sir Jony himself, we would probably be first in line.
“We asked ourselves, what if we designed a watch from the ground up based on the fact that Tim Cook is totally wrong about the market viability of a five figure computer watch and is, in fact, a grade a nincompoop?”
