I did! So far the most noticeable thing is the screen. I didn't think it would be THAT much larger but it definitely feels that way to me. I'm pretty happy with that alone so far. I guess it depends on what you want in the watch to be able to tell whether it is worth the upgrade because I'm honestly not sure what else is different aside from the temperature sensors.

I was torn between this and the Ultra, but I think this watch fits in everyday scenarios/fashion more than the Ultra does.

My series 8 graphite just turned up and is setting up now. Any idea how I transfer mobile data plan from my one one to the new?

I often think of it as a classier, more elegant SBSS...

For those missing the non-Hermes SBSS, this might just satisfy the craving at a down to Earth price!

Just bought a Graphite S8 and I love this thing. I had SBSS for Series 3 and 4 but I think the Graphite has way more character with the way the light reflects off it. Unfortunately it will also likely get more "character" over time in terms of scratches without the protection of that DLC coating.

My S6 natural titanium was my favorite finish ever though, and I would've purchased it again had it been available. I fear that titanium will no longer be an option for the non-Ultra watches though.

Except—spoiler alert—it does have DLC coating! It really is the do everything finish. Just don’t let a milanese scratch it!

Edit: the apple site says PVD for Graphite (DLC being a type of PVD) and DLC for SBSS…am I crazy or did it say DLC the last two years?

No Apple has only specified the Graphite is PVD (much like the Graphite finish on the iPhones). I think there was a brief time at the launch of the S6 where they said it was DLC. But I attribute that to the usual fog of uninformed Apple reps that happens around each product launch because they find out about them at the same time we do. I believe it has always been PVD, no doubt as a way for daddy Tim to cut costs (and create differentiation with the Hermes).
