I love that pink rose gold. The point of rose gold is to make it pink! The color shown on the broadcast has a bright copper pink that actually pops out. Now seeing it in person may be something else, but I'm hoping for the best.

Yes, I'm a guy, upgrading from the 5s (gold).

It's funny, first people say gold is too gaudy and feminine, so stick with space gray. Now, it's too pinky and girly, so stick with gold. Why are you guys one step behind?
I went with the rose gold too despite finding it too pink. Disappointed it isn't the same rose gold as the original apple watch (not the sport one which is pink). But still could not resist a new colour. Will struggle with those aerial bands. What were they thinking! Attached photo is the colour they should have gne with!

Thing is rose gold in jewelry is different because they're true rose gold. From the Apple ad, the color is definitely light pink. Under different lighting it might change a bit but it's still more pink than anything..

I have more of an issue with the white bezel than I do the color of the back. I like the rose gold/pink but would prefer a space gray bezel. Maybe because that is what I am used to. With a cover, I will be seeing the white way more than the pink. I will make up my mind when I am in the store.

Psh... Rose gold...

Real men get a camo cerakote on the phone.

And then do manly things... like take "every day carry" pictures of their cerakoted iphone along with their titanium truck nuts key chain (that also functions as a bottle opener, an "impact tool", and pry bar for all that daily prying) and "tactical" pen (for self defense in the most brutal of war zones... the office) and post said pics on instagram.

At least until they come out with Manstagram (Instagram XTreme enough for a man).

Me, though, I'm getting the pink phone, because it's pretty. (Though, honestly, I'd be happier with a powder blue.)
 
I dislike pink. I'm a girl. I preordered the rose gold though.

My husband used to wear pink dress shirts before he retired from wearing suits and ties to work everyday. Sexy as hell. If a saw a man with the rose gold phone, I would probably think to myself "that's hot"!

as a male I think a purple or pink shirt or sweater can be nice, but there is something about a phone or technology that makes the phone just look very girly when it is pinkish

I don't have an issue with the pink colour addition. I think its great. I kinda wish I preordered it instead of the space grey phone, as my 6 was space grey. It is just a personal preference of mine to like the black front

My issue with this colour is that it is "too bright" - and I feel the same way about the "silvery" space grey colour...was hoping for darker shades on both the rose gold and a deeper "space black" colour.

That is what I find disappointing about the colour, not the fact that its pink but thats its a bit too "bright" in hue

I actually just ordered a dark blue w/rose gold case from caseology. We'll see how it looks with the rg iPhone.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, obviously, but if you think it's wrong for anyone to buy a phone of a particular color, or rather, that you should be supposed to choose certain colors because you are male or female, you need to reevaluate a lot about your life.

Thats what pushed me to the space gray. I really wanted the rose gold, but the white bezel killed it for me.

Is that the stone colored iphone 6s case? I ordered that one and the leather rose gray for my 6s. I also ordered the rose gold color dock. The stuff looks great! Thanks for posting.
It's the lavender case and strap. The colour of the rose gold is almost a copper colour.
 
You weren't supposed to turn your watch on. You are supposed to wait until you get your phone and turn them on together. Now they will never sync.;)
Currently synced with my 6+ and very easy to un-sync previous SS.
