Lot of the reviewers have incorrect information.. one said the display is 1.5x brighter in the sun (its 2.5x when the display is on the always on wrist down mode in the sun), another said its 2.5x brighter in general
Got a tip for us?

They may have done it in OS7 even. Because now instead of pressing hard to see weekly and change goals, you scroll to the bottom of the rings page
Who are they falling behind from?
And yes, it makes no sense to upgrade to a 6 from a 4 unless you need the oxygen monitor. Thats .... A good thing though!!
I saw an article that showed it was 2.5% brighter. Could anyone's eyes even detect that?

I think the issue is the band, not the watch itself.
I ordered right away and it says arrives sep 25-29 - what's up with that ???!!!!!! grrrr
Thank so much for the videos! Just cancelled the blue Watch 6 and staying with my gold 5. It doesn't look as nice as in the pictures. Looks kinda cheap actually. The red even worse. Like a Mickey Mouse watch. Pity

I am so undecided what to get. Series 6 aluminum or refurb Series 5 SS. I do prefer SS looks wise, but it gets too expensive with series 6. So do i go cheap with refurb and series 5, or do I just remain happy with Aluminum and go the newest model. Oh and there 40 vs 44 mm!
I don't know if the added health features do that much, but I'll say ability of an Apple Watch with Sugarmate to see reading with just a glance of my wrist, or a nudge from diabits if I'm trending low or high helps so, so much. No blazing white Dexcom screen to squint at from your phone in the middle of the night, less phone interaction/distraction, and the activity ring helps give me some motivation to get at least 30 min of movement in a day. All adds up to greater ability to check far more often, confidence you have things in control, overall better energy levels and a good a1c.
Don't ship the charging cube to help the environment...
However, go ahead and lets kills some more trees and print off the wrist-adjustment page!

Yes, it does. If you pause the video of the guy with the Graphite Stainless, you can read it on the back of the Watch.
I ordered the Graphite Stainless Steel absentmindedly thinking that it was the same as the Space Black Stainless Steel that has been around since the original. Now, I’m a little concerned because nobody has ever seen this graphite in person and reviewers don’t seem to have been given this colour.
I really wanted the black but I also want the latest Apple Watch. So I’ve got my fingers crossed that the graphite looks good. 🤞🏼

its weird that they omit it from the sales page. look through apple website and sapphire glass is not mentioned in spec.
Yeah, with all the people calling Apple support to ask about it I guess they regret not putting this extremely important spec on the website in the first place 😄
Priced out one on Apple Canada's site... Cellular, 44mm Blue Aluminium Case with Deep Navy Sport Band and with Apple Care:
$900...
I miss the days when our Canadian dollar was worth something.

You can tell Ive isn’t around anymore. That blue and red is ugly as sin. My bet is it won’t make it to the series 7
Here is a hands-on review of the graphite SS (series 6). Looks like it’s a magnet for fingerprints. 😔

Do you mean the new Solo Loop? If so, it comes in nine sizes so it's easy to build in whatever amount of looseness you want.
I loved seeing the Braided Solo Loop vs Solo Loop in action! (video 4) Can't wait for my Atlantic Blue braided loop to arrive tomorrow.
Why they have to ruin that blue and black sport loop with the brown? Does anyone know if Apple ever made one without the brown?

Considering Ive was behind Design of the ‘red digital crown‘, your point would be negated if you’re calling the blue/red Apple Watch ‘ugly’. Colors are entirely subjective, and not based off what I or you think, it’s what the actual owner thinks.
There are a couple of reviews available now for graphite: DaringFireball, Forbes or PocketLint, to name a few.
Here are some unboxing photos, including direct comparison between SB Ti and SBSSS5. Graphite is said to be a tad brighter/shinier than Ti’s Space Black (which is already no comparison to the true Space Black of old).
