If the leak photo is true;

What color series 4 watch are you hoping to secure when preorders open?

Are you replacing an earlier version Apple Watch?

I am hoping to replace my AW2 SS 42 for the AW SS 42 series 4. I plan on giving my current watch to my youngest son. ( He’s 29)

I will buy through Verizon to break the price into 2 payments.

I’ve got a SS S0 that broke last month. I will be replacing it with a new one. I’ve not decided on which one yet, I will wait until I see the various options next week.

One thing that I do know, here in the UK only one network provides support for an esim so I moved my contract to them last week and will be getting a GSM one.
 
42mm (or equivalent), SS, sport band.

I just sold my S2 SS on eBay for a hair under $300 for the watch body only. I kept my S0 SS, and am using it to bridge to the S4's arrival.

42mm Space Grey. Not sure which band - depends on the choices.

I really like my space grey S2 and have a lot of bands that go with it. So I’m sticking with the same style.

(BTW - this thread should really contain a poll!)
 
Replacing my 42mm SS Series 0 with a ceramic in space gray, plus one or more additional hermes bands preferably in the same size.
 
Looking to upgrade my S0 to the S4 not sure which model I will get... depends on price and band options.
 
S4, stainless steel, space black - preferably non-cellular, but might be forced to get it if they only offer stainless steel in cellular.
 
If there is a gold stainless 42 MM, likely that will be my first option. Otherwise, regular stainless, but black stainless still holds its my appeal with me due to the DLC coating.

Got a 38mm Silver Aluminium S2 right now after the GF made the switch to Android and realised she had no use for her watch... Got into running lately so looking for a 42mm (or new equivalent) Space Grey S4 for the bigger screen and longer battery for the long runs. Debating if I 'need' the cellular version or not is the only big decision...
 
I looking to get the new gold color 42mm. I currently have a SB SS series 3 cellular. I’m hoping the gold is a stainless steel or something similar. I don’t like the aluminum models.

I wouldn’t rely on Apple having adequate stock on their shelves for the Series 4 Apple Watch, especially with this being a redesign and multiple added new features, this is going to probably be more level of selling to maybe where the first generation Apple Watch was in April 2015. If you really want one, I really would consider pre-ordering online for your best option, unless you plan standing in line at an Apple store, which still isn’t a guarantee.

For me it all depends on the heath sensors. If there isn’t anything really new in this department (I haven’t seen any convincing leaks) I’ll probably hold off for now.

You won’t be disappointed, I moved a couple of years back from O2 and EE are much, much better for 4G coverage and got a massive speed improvement where I live.
[doublepost=1536505839][/doublepost]I may go back to SS this time, but strangely loving my grey ceramic at the moment while wearing it in the sun... lol

42mm stainless, but I am wondering how the gold stainless( if offered ) would look with my Apple bracelet. Comments?
 
I'm surely getting the Stainless Steel model with Sapphire Glass! My first generation launch day SS Apple Watch looks like new while my Series 3 Aluminum one looks like crap after less than a year, I really regret not getting the Sapphire one!

Probably not getting a 4, unless it really blows me away, but same experience here. The SS0 body was scratched up, which I really didn't mind, but the Aluminum Series 3 has a few good scratches on the screen.
 
SS vs Ceramic if there is a Ceramic will be a difficult decision. Especially since this model should be at least good for 2 years without significant improvements
 
I’m going to replace my 42mm Aluminum series 1 in Space gray for the same thing in Series 4 w/LTE. Going to do it through ATT next.

My current watch will be going to my wife, who wants to use it as a fitness tracker once she finds the right band.
 
I have series 2 42mm space gray.
I will stick with same size and color. Too many bands that ago with that combo. I would like to try LTE model, I have Apple Music subscription and air pods so it should work really well on the go.
