Silver Stainless Steel lugs/band with a S10 Natural Titanium?

[dmccombs]

I know reviewers are just now creating pictures and videos with the new S10 Titanium (Ti) watches. Many of us with Silver Stainless bands, that have SS lugs are curious as to weather the new S10 Natural Ti watch is a good match.

The new Silver Ti on the S10 Hermes should be a good match, but I think many of us would love to see pictures or video that show the new S10 Natural TI, with a band that has Silver SS lugs. I don't think the match will be near perfect, but I'm curious how noticeable the mismatch will be.

Can folks post a few pictures showing this match up as they become available? I'll show some on Friday if I can get my hands on a S10 Natural Ti, when I am in BB on Friday.

I’m getting the natural titanium S10 on Friday and have a stainless steel link band from the OG Apple Watch; I am hopin they’re a good match. I will try to remember to post pics.

I used the Watch Edition S6 and S7 in titanium with silver adapters and it wasn’t an exact match but it was close enough. While I realize the s10 is polished I think it will be okay

Here is one video I found. While it doesn't show a SSS band on a Natural Ti watch, it does show the SSS watch and the Na Ti watch side by side (at the 0:25 mark). The Na Ti looks more grey to me. Thoughts?

It's pretty clear from this review that the natural titanium is much "warmer" than prior silver stainless steel models, which were more of a classic white silver.

Plus some thoughts 10 years down the road.

I like the Natural finish on the one currently on my wrist as I write this story. It's a bit darker than the older non-coated, polished-stainless-steel finish, which I think adds a bit of a more subtle and elegant quality. The 20% reduction in weight compared to the steel versions is noticeable, but still feels more solid than aluminum.

FWIW, the gold watches have suffered this situation forever, with annual changes between a more rose gold and a more yellow gold. It looks like it happened again this year, but I will need to see the bands and watches in person to confirm.

It shouldn't be this hard for Apple to have perennial color options vs. changing them all the time, or even when they do keep them (e.g. Space Gray) they aren't consistent. These are premium products...

Apple is saving me some money. None of the Ti watches will match the Silver SS or Black SS bands that I have, except for the Hermes Silver TI.

I won't pay $1299, simply because Apple wants to make Silver SS Exclusive. Silver SS is a normal staple for most watch makers, and many of us already have Silver SS bands. Making this staple a $1299 is pretty messed up and so I am voting with my $$$. I won't buy a Ti watch this year. Maybe my next mid-priced watch will be mechanical. I bet I get get Silver SS then, for much less than $1299. LOL

I did get the Alum Jet Black. If Apple isn't going to offer Black SS or Jet Black Ti, then I will save some $$$ and downgrade to Alum. Maybe in a few years, Apple will come to their senses regarding these watch colors.
