Some good points here: https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...h-apple-watch-series-7-color-options.2316042/
I actually didn't realise they'd dropped the space grey colour! Though I like the green colour I like my watches to be muted...

On another note, I need a car mount. I don't have much vent space, and I don't want to cover any buttons etc, which I generally use..... so Im thinking one of this cupholder mounts - but a MagSafe version.........does one even exist??
I bought a vent mount for my car , because it was cheaper. Spigen OneTap. But I have a mount already. One that fits in the CD player. Just swapped the MagSafe bit over onto the other mount.
You could try that if you can’t get a MagSafe one. Works out a bit more expensive but gets you what you want (if one doesn’t exist)

I've got a BMW (2 GC) with a similar interior to yours and have been thinking about getting a vent MagSafe mount and putting it on the right side of the steering wheel... You think that could work?
If your looking to get a decent phone mount, I'd recommend Proclip. You buy the part that is specific to your car and they are excellent. They aren't cheap, but I'm a firm believer of buy once and not try the multiple cheap options out there for your £1000 iPhone!
Over the past decade (or two) some seriously good (and award winning) cheeses have emerged from the UK.
And some stunning beers.

Would be interested in some suggestions, too. I’m just waiting on delivery of a new BMW and want a better solution than what I have now (which is nothing!).
Any use?

Crash testing popular MagSafe car vent mounts for iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 | AppleInsider
Now that both the iPhone 12 lineup and the newly-released iPhone 13 lineup support MagSafe, in-car mounts using the technology have risen in popularity. We took four of the most popular ones and subjected them to an impact test to see which ones held our phones safe.

Brodit are excellent, ProClip then the holder. I just ordered the MagSafe puck holder As I already had the mount.
What’s the 2 GC like? I ordered mine back in July and hoping to get it in the next 6-8 weeks.
I didn't want it on the right side - I get nervous when I have the window down in case someone grabs it and runs off!! lol
Which 'beard'??

I used to have a Proclip in my previous car - it was nice - although again placement is an issue. I don't really want to cover half the dash buttons I use - hence looking for something further down near the cup holders.
How's the Proclip with a phone in case? Still OK?
I never look at the phone while driving as I get everything via the heads up display on the dash anyways - at the moment I put the phone in the actual cup holder (just about fits!) but would like a neater solution really....
It was yes. You just have to chose the right holder. But since I changed cars a few years back my iPhone stays in my pocket. I use the car Sat Nav and BT for calls.
Ah fingers crossed you get it soon! I’ve heard crazy stories of delays over on BabyBMW thanks to the chip shortage.
As for the car, I love it. I only went for the 218i but I specced it quite well (Mineral Grey Auto - Tech Pack with the HUD, Comfort Pack with Comfort Access, and the Driver Assistance Pack). It’s been an amazing car since February - the HUD is something I can’t live without now. I barely look at the instrument cluster anymore and when I do it feels like a distraction. People have polarised views on the look of the 2GC but I like it. I will say that the MPG could be better. It’s good but it’s not as good as my old 1.6 Focus.
Sweet - you need any accessories??
EDIT : Actually I only have this left, most of the other stuff is all GoPro!
