Which Watch color is easiest to dress up/down for any occasion?

I have the Series 2 in stainless steel and I find it easy to dress down and up. It's easily the more versatile color.

Now that I'm getting the Series 4, I'm leaning towards the Space Black Stainless Steel. You're more limited in band colors (most of the sports bands work well, not so much the leather), but I'm now feeling that black is where the Apple Watch really shines (figuratively speaking).

With Stainless Steel, it always felt like it was pretending to be something it's not (i.e. a luxury watch).

I hope I didn't confuse things further!

 

Silver SS, IMO. It has the most band versatility.

 

I see this question asked quite frequently, and really it’s any color that you want for the Apple Watch you can dress up or down. Depends on the style/color bands that you like. The silver aluminum is most popular because it’s basically limitless what you pair with it. But again, really depends on your style, how you carry yourself and what bands you like.

 

Gold SS looks really good with dark leather bands like the dark leather loops.

 

I went from a space gray aluminum to a silver aluminum. Just needed a change. I thought the black lugs on my small collection of bands would bother me when paired with the silver, but I find I’m actually liking the dark-light contrast.

 

I think the GSS is very easy to dress down and up (although the SS is as well). I use the forest green leather loop with my GSS when I want a more casual look and the milanese loop when I want to dress it up - it looks fantastic! Have to agree with wineandcarbs, dark leather colors goes great with the GSS.

 

If you’re buying bands exclusively from Apple they mainly focus on silver lugs for whatever reason. You can get premium bands from strapa with any lug to match your watch. Some sites sell just lugs, so you can replace them to match your watch. Any variation of the watch in my opinion is easy to dress up or down.

Good looking straps! Anyone having any luck finding good quality gold lugs for the GSS yet? I need one for my saddle brown leather buckle, but can’t seem to find matching lugs.

 

I haven’t seen gold lugs with bands just yet. Give it a little more time as it’s a new color for stainless.

However you can buy gold lugs and use any standard 24mm or 22mm band. Here is a link from Amazon for just the lugs. There are many styles and companies that make/sell lugs.

Ive ordered silver ss simply because currently have a silver s0 and I've acquired quite a few bands (such as Milanese) that wouldn't really go with any other colour.

If it wasn't for this, I'd probably gone black ss.

 

Some ideas. Mixture of series 2 SS and series 3 SBSS. Those are gone now, so you will also see my S4 SS and SBSS watches:

I think it’s a mix. The leather are third party I believe (post on reddit). You can tell the lugs are regular SS, which bugs my ocd. But it’s honestly hard to tell.

 

Apple watch is widely accepted and unless it is a formal event, people won't really care.
