I’m also going to buy a decal for mine. That orange button is ugly.

All those holes in the case are ugly too but there’s nothing that can be done about that.

How is a sticker going to fit perfectly on a concave button? Not going to happen....

If it really bothers you, I bet a jeweler could polish the orange off. One forum member did it themselves and I thought it looked pretty good.

Putting a sticker on a $800 watch seems pretty cheesy. I'm not a fan of the orange coloration myself, seems unnecessary for its function and placement. But that's also why I don't understand people who have gone batsht over it. NO ONE sees it. It's bright orange yet it's completely invisible.

I like the Ultra, and am about to be in the season that no one will see the button (winter), but if you are wearing short sleeves it is very visible from anyone sitting on that side of your watch. I haven't liked the red ring on the crown, or the solid circle either. I live with it, but if I had the option, I would get the same watch without red/orange/... just the case color.

Looking for exactly this, stick on covers for the action button and the crown. Anyone know anywhere?

That looks great!!!

I used automotive wrap, but cut out by hand on my action button. I posted a thread when I did it, and it still looks good on the watch: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/wrapped-my-action-button.2365633/

What you did is a step above. Are you selling your precut pieces? If so, would love to buy a set from you. Let me know. Thanks!

The orange button reminds me of the red dot on the crown of the first few cellular series Apple Watches ie. It looks stupid and people buy stickers to cover over.
I bet my bottom dollar the orange gets dropped on the next release.

One could think you took those pics in Monochrome mode. 🤔

The orange helped with new product launch marketing. As others have speculated, it may also give them options for color variations in future releases. Either way, we will probably see some changes/opions with that orange one day.
