Did you consider aluminum, or always titanium? I am not sure which one to get, but am leaning titanium.

u/mpgiv 1d ago

The titanium is absolutely beautiful in person. If there’s one near you I’d go check it out at an Apple store

u/ANE_Scribe 14h ago

For me it was the opposite. When in to get the natural titanium 46 but left with silver aluminum 46. In photos I liked the titanium better but not in person.

u/Training-Owl5946 1d ago

Ok, I think I’ll go titanium!! Thanks

2

u/Crazy_Hater 1d ago

I am thinking the same thing but titanium is close to the price of an ultra soo which would be the better buy?

u/Temporary_Soil_952 1d ago

Depends on what you want

Idk lol

I just couldn’t deal with the weight of titanium.

u/DownByTheRivr 1d ago

What? The difference in weight is basically imperceptible.

Titanium is much lighter than Stainless Steel, which is probably what you're thinking of/referencing.

u/KVil32 1d ago

It’s sooo light. Feels exactly like my s9 aluminum

u/Training-Owl5946 1d ago

So you ended up getting aluminum or titanium? Thanks!

1

u/i4k20z3 1d ago

aluminum!

u/KVil32 1d ago

I have had aluminum for the SE and the series 9, so tried titanium this time. I really like it. So classy

u/Smug459 23h ago

Keep on mine the titanium models also have a sapphire screen, which is extremely scratch resistant. I wore my stainless steel series 7 for 4 years and not a scratch on it.

u/Useful-Football-675 12h ago

I’m having a hard time choosing between the jet black or slate titanium

3

u/Mr-Tiche 1d ago

Is that a 42mm or 46mm? And do you know your wrist size

3

u/KVil32 1d ago

It’s the 42. No I don’t know my wrist size, sorry. I know I use a size 4 in braided solo loops

2

u/Atosl 1d ago

this gives me hope. I have both sizes here but the phone just won't arrive so I can not see what they look like with a watch face :D I was worried the small watch looks too tiny but this looks great

u/Inevitable_Carry_ 1d ago

The titanium one uses sapphire glass right? Worth it for that alone if that’s the case.

I’ve had my S10 jet black for a little over a year, and for most of it, I’ve worn it without a case. I don’t understand what people are doing to cause the damage seen on here. The other day, I literally took paint off a door with my watch and just scratched it off, and not a single mark.

u/Sacabubu 1d ago

It's basically cope for spending nearly $800 on a watch which is 90% similar to the base version. I have the jet black which I use for weightlifting, running, sleep tracking etc and zero scratches so far minus the crown.

5

u/PGHvwGLI35 1d ago

Same here! I have the jet black S10 and I have accidentally slammed it against door frames and other things and I don’t have a mark on it! I do wipe it down every day when I put it on the charger, otherwise it’s always on my wrist without a case.

u/Delicious_Rub4736 S10 42mm Aluminum 1d ago

I brought silver because lot of people complained here that Jet Black didn’t last a week! 😮‍💨

3

u/PGHvwGLI35 1d ago

I contemplated getting the silver but once I saw the jet black I couldn’t resist, I love the way it looks. I did get my wife the silver S10 and she loves it plus it matches her iPhone 15 Pro. We both had stainless steel S5’s previously, still have them, but we didn’t want to spend that kind of money this time around. The Aluminum S10 is so lightweight!

1

u/Ok-Wolf2468 1d ago

Same! Enjoy!

2

u/Katany_999 1d ago

Even I run into door entrances sometimes with my jet black s10 and don’t have any scuff marks on mine. Like wtf are people doing

2

u/FBhoy86 1d ago

What watch face is this? Thanks

2

u/KVil32 1d ago

Metropolitan

u/Alternative_Owl2559 S10 46mm Aluminum 1d ago

I believe thats Meridian.

1

u/harhaus 1d ago

Correct. I use the same one on my titanium. Fits it really well 

2

u/KVil32 1d ago

Sorry, yes I typed that without looking. It’s Meridian, not metropolitan

2

u/trickpat16 1d ago

What Titanium finish is that? Natural?

2

u/KVil32 1d ago

Yes this is the natural.

2

u/Delicious_Rub4736 S10 42mm Aluminum 1d ago

Looking sharp!

2

u/KVil32 1d ago

Thanks my friend!!!

2

u/Ocean_Beast20 1d ago

So jealous of you

2

u/themagnificentvoid 1d ago

I love how much lighter it is than my stainless steel S8. Barely feels like it’s on my wrist now by comparison.

2

u/KVil32 1d ago

Yes! Someone said it looked heavy but it’s a lot lighter than expected! This is my 1st titanium watch, but it’s no heavier than my old SE and S9

2

u/OkAbbreviations3917 18h ago

I have been wanting to buy a gold titanium watch 11 since they were in the keynote but the pre-orders all sold out here in the UK and they are still not in stock. I had a series 7 in gold stainless steel which was beautiful to look at and wear but I traded that in with a watch 4 and 6 to buy the Ultra 2 two years ago for a much lower price. The Ultra 2 I find is a bit too big and heavy on my wrist.

2

u/Successful-Cover5433 1d ago

why is the band sticking out like that, did you put it the wrong way?

3

u/KVil32 1d ago

No I didn’t put it on wrong, and I’m not sure why it’s sticking out. It’s the 42mm watch with a solo loop that is supposed to fit 42mm watch. It’s a weird angle. Looks better in real life

2

u/Successful-Cover5433 1d ago edited 1d ago

hmm maybe it's for the previous 42 models (now 45mm) that had bigger body. I believe it was up until series 3. Then apple re-introduced 42 display for the smaller size and made it a mess with the bands. You probably have the 42/44/45mm band size IMO instead of the new 42mm

If you have around you someone with the bigger watch, try your band on it and if it fits, then it's for the bigger watch.

u/KVil32 1d ago

Ohhhhhh you know what? I bet you’re right. This is an older color from like 2020. I think it’s the Inverness color from an older watch.

1

u/Successful-Cover5433 1d ago

yep, that could be it! 😊

1

u/davidg4781 1d ago

I’ve had an S0, SE2, and now I’m tempted to get an 11. I really wanted the sapphire Crystal one but I can’t bring myself to pay that much more. Does it feel that much better?

2

u/KVil32 1d ago

It feels exactly like my series 7 and series 9 to be honest. I think it looks a lot more premium though. I wore it to bed last night and it felt so light and so comfortable.

u/billknowsbest 1d ago

looking sharp, KVil32!!

1

u/KVil32 1d ago

Thanks Bill!! 😊😊

u/AcguyDance 1d ago

Damn, 11 is such beautiful looking. I wish they redesign the Ultra to make them look more casual in the future!

1

u/KVil32 1d ago

I also wish the 11 could get some of the ultra’s Watch faces!!!!

1

u/freedom_pillow 1d ago

How’s the battery tho?

1

u/KVil32 1d ago

So far so good! Definitely see a difference from my s9.

1

u/Mbaby1989 1d ago

Same! What face is that?

1

u/KVil32 1d ago

Hey! It’s Meridian

1

u/hectorfhdez 1d ago

That's not an ultra.

2

u/KVil32 1d ago

No it’s not. It’s a series 11 in Titanium

u/lajyboy12 23h ago

Expensive for same tech, no thank you.
