personally, i think slate look to warm and grey to be considered, at least for me. i usually go with darker colors, and i would go for the jet black but thats a aluminum which means ion-x glass, hence, scratching on the screen. i will be going with the gold titanium this time around, Milanese loop to match cause i like when things match. you do you though! be happy with your choice and don’t let other people tell you what to think of what you spend your heard earned money on :)

The Slate Titanium 42mm arrives tomorrow for me. I’m upgrading from a 40 mm titanium Apple Watch 5. I wanted to upgrade last year, but they didn’t have titanium and so I waited. I’m so glad that titanium was offered this year; that was the deciding factor for me. So going from a 5 to 10 will be quite an upgrade I assume. I’ve really enjoyed my watch; it has held up beautifully. With daily wear absolutely no scratches on the face with the sapphire crystal. And barely any marks on the titanium case. I ordered slate because I’ve enjoyed having the black color and own a lot of bands. I was really tempted with the gold though, because somebody said it looked more rose gold. And I love myself some rose gold for sure. But some of my bands probably wouldn’t look very good with the gold; however, black goes with everything. I appreciate your video this evening, thank you for posting it.

I bought the Apple Watch Ultra 2 in black and I am returning it tomorrow for the Apple Watch 10 and titanium primary. I don’t like to feel of that raised lip over the screen. It feels kind of sharp. Also to me the series 10 and titanium just seems more classic. And the other point I was gonna make is that Series 10 and titanium is definitely more durable than the aluminum hence the cost difference. When you’re paying $200 more than the aluminum watch you’re gonna get more you’re gonna get sapphire glass, which is stronger scratch resistant and then you’re gonna get that titanium finish which is much more But you get what you can afford. I have the money invested already in this ultra two black so I am the third day in using it so I can go back and easily exchange for the series 10 and titanium looking forward to it. I think it’s just more sleeper and just feels more comfortable on the wrist. I don’t use all the features of the ultra has to offer I don’t dive deep. I don’t rock climb. I don’t do all those kinds of outdoor activity things so I think the titanium and the tin the series 10 will be perfectly fine And I think I’ll go with a natural titanium because just I don’t know like it anyway just my thoughts

From previous products that have had DLC coating and PVD. I'm pretty sure I read that DLC is the more tougher with regards to getting scratched off. So if that is correct, the DLC on the Ultra 2 in black, should be tougher and less likely to come off, than the Series 10 titanium DLC coating.

I'm not in the Apple echosphere BUT while at my local mall this past week I dipped into the Apple store which I haven't done in years. I wanted to get a view of the new Apple watches. I was not a fan of the Apple watch Ultra previously but the black looks great and just has a more premium look.. The standard apple watch aluminums were the same old same old I don't care how big they say the screen is They look the same as they have always looked and up into this point since they're calling it redesign will look this way for the next 5 years. The titanium Apple watches were absolutely gorgeous!! At first I thought the titanium was the jet black and thought wow that looks way better than the aluminum but then I realized that the aluminum jet black next to the titanium looked like plastic. I did not see the plain jet black looking premium at all In fact I think it looks cheaper than the standard aluminum colors but that titanium was gorgeous and with a nice melanese band, which I'm also not a fan of I will say it looked stunning!!!!!

I just got the silver aluminum series 10 on launch day. Upgraded from a 7 but it isn’t a huge upgrade. Love the 42 mm size as my 7 was 41 mm. I traded it in and got $135 credit on the series 10. I am 59 as well and watched a lot of KZbin videos on how it works. Apple Watches are very user friendly. I am married to a techy but wanted to figure it out on my own! In my opinion, you should get the 10 and if you like a bigger watch, get the 46 mm. Cheers from Ohio!

It's the same sapphire display the Ultra 2 uses. I've taken my Ultra 2 sub 100ft on shipwreck dives. Navigating janky shipwreck geometry (one of which was upside down) and bonking it on old metal. The titanium has some scuffs on the casing. Not actual deep scratches, but just scuffs that are barely visible under direct sunlight. The screen looks the same as the day I bought it. It's absolutely nuts. Do not put a screen protector on the sapphire. Complete waste of money and it interferes with the tactility of the watch. You will be fine.

If it helps, for me it wasn't. I chose the aluminium jet black because cellular is only useful if you go places without your phone AND you have another plan open with your phone provider for the cellular to work. The Sapphire crystal will help when it comes to minimising the chance of scratches, but it's still more than possible so I'd say you could just put a screen protector on the aluminium's glass. The only guaranteed value will be the titanium case. So because of that it wasn't worth the additional £300.00 difference when that could be put toward a new phone or the new AirPods.

@@Netzwerkdose The way this is being discussed reminds me of the old “horse vs. car” debate. But honestly, I’m not sure what we’re arguing about here. To me, the Apple Watch is a mix of fashion, health tracking, and a notification tool that works perfectly within the Apple ecosystem. I love my Series 8, but I prefer shinier colors, which is why I’ve always wanted the stainless steel version. That said, for two years in a row, I haven’t seen enough innovation to justify upgrading, especially at over $1000. Blood glucose monitoring and AI are the two big features coming in future Apple Watches, and we all know they’ll eventually arrive-especially the AI stuff. Apple’s already made it clear that none of the current models will fully support those AI features, so I don’t think the current watches will have the same 10-year lifespan as earlier ones. At the end of the day, if you like the Series 10 and the price isn’t an issue, go for it. It’s a stunning watch, and the titanium gold model really caught my eye. I almost bought it myself. But my practical side told me to hold off for one more year. That’s all there is to it.
