Anyone with an Apple Watch 6?

After saving up my Christmas and birthday presents this week, I am getting a lovely Apple Watch 6. But with shops closed, I can’t really go and pick a colour. Image search/Pinterest etc doesn’t really help.

My jewellery is platinum/silver. I am looking at the aluminium gold/silver and space grey colours. Which would you choose if you were me?

Can any one post a picture of their watch in actual life/daylight etc? Eternally grateful.

I think I like the rose goldish one, but I don’t wear any other gold. I’m not a yellow gold fan, doesn’t suit my skin colour, does it look rose gold in real life? Thinking the silver would be a safest bet to change band colours, but not sure if the silver one looks cheap? Is space grey too dark?

I’ve literally bought one this week and had this exact dilemma! I went with the gold, which I would say looks rose gold and so I’ll be happy to wear it with silver jewellery. I thought the silver (which a friend had) looked quite cheap and the space grey is so dark I feel like the band choice would have been quite limited.

I have a space grey series 6. My first one was silver (series 1) and since then I've had yellow gold (which they've stopped doing) and the current more pinky gold. I was a bit nervous buying the grey but fancied a change. When it first came I was very unsure - I also went for the larger size this time and I'm quite a small person. I now absolutely love it and am very pleased with my purchase! I mostly wear it with leather straps as I find them the most comfortable and the best fit.

Pic attached - excuse my blotchy skin, I've just got out of the bath Grin

I’ve got the gray one.
I bought a few straps on eBay and it looks fine with gold and silver metal straps.

Interested in this thread?

I have the blue one. I had silver first which was ok but boring. Then my next one was space grey which I loved. The blue tempted me this time though but it's harder to match with straps. Don't care, still love it though.

Mines rose gold, came with the pink sand colour strap but now I’ve got it with a purple sport loop strap.

I had the silver series 2. But gone right off it. I’ve just this week bought a rose gold one with a pinky coloured strap and I absolutely love it.

Just to add into the mix, I have a navy one and I love it!

Thank for the photos and reviews it helps!
In my head I really thought I would like the silver one, but for some reason it does look cheap/not the right shade.
@MiloAndEddie and @Rockbirdhave have you got a photo of the navy?

Make sure you get a case for it, saves the screen getting damaged

I went for aluminium with the Inverness green braided solo loop. I love it!

Thanks for the photos!
I’ve woken up thinking maybe I do want the rose gold one now.... but then I can’t seem to settle on one colour long enough for a day!

I do like the braided straps, but was thinking to get the standard silicone and then buy one from Amazon as cheaper that way.
Unless anyone has any independent shops or Etsy sellers that they’d recommend?

How do you keep your screen clean? I have one (I love it) but the screen gets quite tacky and there is bugger all information from Apple (a lint cloth won’t cut it). I think this might be kids sticky fingers

SunSeaSurfGin · 16/07/2021 14:25

Following op I'm having the same dilemma

I like the rose gold or maybe the blue it's more the strap I want it to go with most outfits

There's too much choice
