For those who have used the aluminum watches, how have they held up? I have no interest in a cellular version so I'm checking them out. At $329 who gives a poo poo if they get banged up a bit I suppose, right?

They already have wearable covered in their plans; looks like T-Mobile is $10/month line charge. I think Verizon is $5. edit: Jose Oquendo posted:For those who have used the aluminum watches, how have they held up? I have no interest in a cellular version so I'm checking them out.

I've had an aluminum for 2 years that I've banged against rocks on hikes and been in a big car accident with and there's just a tiny chip on the rim of the display. It's plenty durable.

It's plenty durable. Alternatively, I've had an aluminum for 1 year which I haven't taken near rocks but has several scratches and chips along the sides (none on the display fortunately). Probably from banging it against doors and tables. My next one will definitely be stainless steel because the chips do bother me.

I guess it comes down to if chips or scratches bother you more.

Honestly, the watch as phone feature might become a huge selling point. What turned someone I know off on the original was that she thought she could leave her phone at home while she went for walks and receive calls on her watch. Was extremely disappointed that wasn't the case. Personally, I don't need a new one my Gen 0 is trucking along just fine but I want one...

They don't have any kind of trade-in program to go from a Series 2 to a 3, right? I'm perfectly happy with my 2, but if it'd be cheap enough to swap it, I might consider it. Otherwise I'll wait another generation or two if I have to pay full price.

I guess I'm the only one that thought a red dot was tacky and unusual. Why red? Because apples are red? Why not a choice of colors? Edit: does look good on that gold Edition, though. I'll reserve judgment.

Everyone remember when there was a mini freak out with the Apple nerds when Tim Cook had a custom stainless steel Apple Watch with the red crown from the Apple Watch Edition? I'm stretching with the word interesting but it is kind of interesting that Tim Cook apparently wanted the red crown from the Edition bad enough that he had a custom one made and now all the cell models have it.

mattfl posted:You can sell it for a decent amount still Yeah, I'm just not a big fan of selling things myself, I'd rather just take it to a store that will buy it. I traded in my 6+ at Apple towards my current watch, and I'd rather get less for it than deal with the hassle of selling it.

Gonna have to take a real look at the watch cell plans. $5 I'd do it but for $10? Eh probably not.

Where are people even getting pricing figures? Based on other brands? The wording on the A3 section of the Apple Site makes it seem it will be free with your carrier.

that's sharp as hell. I'm sure that gold color must be an extra $700 though.

I think that is a previous Edition watch, comparing it to a about to be current aluminiuym model, comparing how the red dots are the same.

Also I doubt it's going to be a straight 10 or even 5 I'm sure there are going to be taxes and fees added on to that poo poo.

I'm trying to catch up on the Aluminium/stainless steel debate. It seems like stainless is more expensive. By a lot. I like the look of black SS with the Milanese loop, but am I right that I can get a black Aluminum and an aftermarket black loop and end up paying like half as much? I mean if I am getting a $1200 phone what's 800 more for a watch? (And however much for the power may and loving ear pods)

So there's no way to get a stainless steel S3 without the cellular chip? I really don't give a poo poo about being Dick Tracy or whatever.

Ultimate Mango posted:I'm trying to catch up on the Aluminium/stainless steel debate. Yes, but there's a bit of color mismatching. The black Milanese loop is pretty much black, with black stainless steel lugs. (It's really like a really, really dark gray, just a smidge from black.) The space gray aluminum is... well, gray. However, the screen is black, so it all kinda works out OK in my eyes. The black stainless steel lugs match the space black stainless steel body perfectly. The SS models also have a sapphire screen and ceramic back. Up to you if those differences are worth that much more.

Anyone know if there's been any improvement with AirPod connectivity in watchOS 4? As it is right now (series 1) half the time I have to reboot the phone to get it to properly "see" the AirPods. Admittedly this is really only purposes for me seeing the battery percentage on my watch but i still like that little icon.
