What's with the iphone 6 and apple sport watch both having 'space grey' colour options, but being tottally different colours?
Same brand, same material. Anyone else think it's weird?

It's certainly darker. I put my SG watch next to my iPhone 6 Plus and it's like night and day 
Personally I prefer the darker color. I really liked the Slate/Black iPhone 5 but I'm pretty sure they made them lighter because of all the scratching issues they had with the black models. Anodized, colored aluminum scratches rather easily and it's less noticeable on a lighter color. I think the reason they were able to make the watch darker is because they used a different process than the iPhone making it more scratch resistant. Plus it looks a lot better being darker with a black band IMO.
The new MacBook also looks darker than the iPhone. I think it would be slick if the 6S was the same tint as the watch/MacBook so they'd match.

I'm hoping Apple sticks with the watches color going forward - that 6s Plus is going to look oh so good
Does the new macbook match the watch then? Maybe thats the answer there then and apple have revised the colour. If thats the case 6s should match too like everyones already said
Interesting post on the homepage today which clears up some questions in this thread: https://www.macrumors.com/2015/06/17/iphone-6s-7000-series-aluminum-kgi/
