Gone for the S11 in black 46mm.
My S6 gave up the ghost a couple of months ago so I have been waiting to see what the S11 brings. Not sure it was really worth the wait over the S10 but I might as well get the latest. I toyed with the idea of trying an UW but can’t see the benefits of paying double.

I may order an Ultra 3 to replace my Ultra 1. I get some money from work each year for "toys" and that would cover a chunk of it.
Still on the fence though. Sensibly, I should just keep my Ultra 1. But after work pays for a chunk and I sell the older one it's not a big burden.
Still on the fence.
Good luck with your S11!

I still can't decide to go natural Ti or Slate... I've been to two different apple stores and I still can't decide lol
My past Apple Watches have all been the slate/dark SS ones. I want something different but I'm worried about how the Natural will look over time and how different bands will look. (black navy, white, gray are my most worn colors)

that white ocean band was discontinued I think 2 years ago, so no
Would you rather get silver tatty? Unfortunately that you would have to get the Hermes Apple Watch series 11 for the most silvery one
Natural titanium is silver but more greyish
Thanks didn't know. I actually bought the U1 but will be returning to get the U3 so maybe Apple Store will let me keep the white band, not sure.
Returning? Is it a refurb? Or do you mean trading in? For trade ins, you turn in just the watch itself, no band, no charging puck, at least at Apple
If you are doing trade in with Apple, you don’t need to return any accessories, including the band. I have done 4 Apple Watches trade in already and the only thing you need to return is the naked watch. I always purchase the new watch with store pickup and bring the trade in at the Apple Store at the same time of picking up the new one. Then in front the Apple Store Genius, I take my Apple Watch off, unpair from my iPhone and they take it from there for inspection. It takes 5 mins then I pair the new watch with my iPhone and done. I already ordered the U3 Black and I’m trading in my 2023 U2 Natural.
Ordered the Natural Titanium AW Ultra 3. I have a 2 year old Apple Watch Ultra 2 that I'm trading in for $335. Yes, ok, the differences aren't huge but satellite, extra battery, and 5g interest me. Also, my wife agreed that this would be my "birthday" present from her. So made that decision easier. We are not upgrading our phones this year. We both are also getting Apple AirPods Pro 3s.
So looks like I have $464 on Apple Watch payments going forward on Apple Card. Not too bad.

No I'm just more concerned about it showing micro scratches over time etc. The black/dark SS I've had in a the past had that coating and held up well and when I wipe it with a cloth it looks like new.
Also concerned how it looks with my sport bands.
Cancelled my AW3 and AirPods Pro 3 order...
...so I can re-order and select pickup in store instead. Picking it up on release day, along with an iPhone (still not sure if I'm getting a new iPhone, and if so which one). Additional Ultra band still getting shipped to my home though.
One of the big reasons I'm doing in store pickup for AirPods is my last two launch day AirPods purchases (AirPods 4 & APP 2) both had creaky lids and I had to exchange in store to get one with better tolerances.
I'm coming from a GPS Series 8, the first watch I've purchased without cellular and I regret that decision. At the time my thinking was I always have my phone on me but I'm starting to like the idea of always having a device on my wrist that I can communicate with even if my phone is lost, dead, or broken. I've psyopped myself into (probably) ordering the iPhone Air this year despite all its shortcomings (camera & battery) so having the Ultra with its marathon battery seems like a reasonable backup for essential comms.

I had the first one because I wanted the bigger screen. I have small wrists but had no problems with the size. I went with the 10 last year because it had the same size screen as the Ultra. I'm going back to the Ultra with the U3 because I miss the action button, the modular watch face specific to the Ultra, & the feel of it. I like that it's big.
And since everyone is giving specifics, I went with the Natural & the light blue Alpine loop

Coming from Series 6 38mm SS, I've ordered Series 11 42mm Natural Titanium Case with Natural Milanese Loop. Very excited as the battery life on old faithful is getting pretty bad.
Wow, if my counting is correct, 5 of us are upgrading from AW4 to AWU3, interestingMan, y'all are in for a treat. Huge upgrade
