So how about that red circle on the crown!

[Newtons Apple]

LOL! How many people will this tiny red circle drive crazy?

Wished they would have kept the red dot!

Hope everyone enjoys their new toys! Lets hope Apple has plenty for all!

It looks better refined the way it is now, it’s definitely not as obtrusive. But I never had an issue with the red dot to begin with, seemingly it was only a ‘problem’ for some on a tech for forum for the most part.

I think the red circle is a better then the ginormous red dot

Yep, was a non-issue to me but many really got upset over it. I guess the red circle is a good compromise.

Nothing worse than having a red ring! lol

Personally, I didn't like it, but then my decision not to buy the watch wasn't because of the dot but for other reasons.

The red dot was pretty bad on the series 3 given the way Apple tries to push the stainless models and fashionable and more formal. The red circle is much better and more in line with that concept.

I feel the red circle is a more elegant solution than the red dot.

 

[Newtons Apple]

It was not an issue for me either way. I hardly ever saw the red dot and the red ring will be the same.

I like the circle better, but to be honest haven't really noticed the red dot either. Don't really notice it unless I am looking for it. You don't see it when just looking at the watch.

 

[KarimLeVallois]

The red dot is a nice bit of colour on the grey ceramic.

Given that I wore mostly the SS with the link or Milanese bands, I always liked the bit of red on the watch. I'm probably in the minority here though.

 

[Knowlege Bomb]

Considering I HAVE to have to cellular model when I upgrade my Nike+ sport to a stainless model, I'm glad they reduced it to just the ring.

 

[Vanilla35]

I love it. And I'm one who hated the red dot.

It's all about execution, and this is now a tasteful addition, rather than a ghastly imperative.

 

[billchase2]

While I did not purchase the cellular version, I highly prefer the red ring. I always thought the red dot was too loud and tacky.

 

[Nozuka]

definitely much better than the dot.

though i would still prefer for it to not be there at all. has a "look, i bought the more expensive version and want to show it off" feel to it..

I blame the who-har over when Tim Cooke wore a Watch with a red dot on the original S0 launch event...

The circle does look better to me, but the change is at least 75% functional as the Digital Crown is now an electrode and so needs to be mostly bare metal.

Red ring > red dot
