![]() When he came back the watch was ready for setup and had about 40% charge. They brought out a replacement and again the watch was dead 0 charge, this time after 45 minutes of fast charging using a MBP charger and 0 charge the tech came and got the watch and charger and brought it to a more genius Genius.I suppose. Another 15 minutes passed by and with 0 charge still I requested a replacement. They said that normally the Stainless Steel watches are dead because they don't sell very well and the battery just depletes. After 30 minutes of fast charging with still no Apple logo or set-up screen, I told the setup people that this watch must be DOA. One weird thing.we were at the Apple store to set it up and the watch was completely dead 0 battery. ![]() Purchased the SS 45mm S8 w/Sky Blue band for my wife and she loves it. That's your deciding factor if money isn't a concern. To the OP, do you want a nearly perfect watch body with screen scratches -OR- scratched body with no screen scratches. Scratches on a SS watch body will happen at some point. I took some polisher and a rag, and got most of them out, but you can still see several, especially in certain areas. I have owned a SS (v6) that I bought it used, and it came pretty heavily scratched. ![]() ![]() You may be able to buff the scratches out, as many with a SS watch have done, but that does take a bit of polisher, a rag, and some effort. The SS is polished, and scratches will be more apparent as a result of the polished finish, a la traditional watches or stainless rings, water bottles, coffee cups, grills, tables, fridges, stoves, etc. Your aluminum bodied watch will have screen scratches at some point. All three screens, however, have multiple scratches, and I for one, am extremely cautious with my watches. I've not dented either one of my two aluminum watches (og and v4), but my wife managed to dent one of them (v3). If you're careful, I doubt you'll dent it. Dents, which can happen, are (obviously) more obvious, but you really have to work for that to happen. Unless Apple comes up with radical changes to the Apple Watch regarding functionality or features, I don't see us upgrading for several more years.Ĭlick to expand.The aluminum is brushed and if scratches are there, they're hard to see as a result of the brushed finish. I decided to pay Apple for battery replacement, which in the case of SS model, was well worth it, as my S4 still serves me well as I am not finding any of the new features enticing enough to upgrade. Unfortunately, I could not find any good deals on SS, so I went to Apple Store and paid full price for her S6 SS. My wife kept using her S2 SS till it randomly died. Since then, I upgraded to SS S4 when I saw them on sale for half price and gave my S2 SS to our daughter. ![]() I went with 42mm, and she with 38mm, and we never looked back. Shortly after Apple released series 3, my wife sold her S1 aluminum, and we both picked up S2 stainless steel on sale. Only after a few months her watch looked like it had gone through some hell - it had tons of scratches and some dents in the chassis! It didn't look good, actually. I returned mine within the 14-day return window, while my wife kept using her for a few months. Our experience with Apple Watch started with Series 1 aluminum, but it was short-lived as we both didn't like the look and feel of aluminum. We also don't care for the latest and greatest each year and are not the type of people who jump on new models yearly. We chose SS as it is more durable and looks/pairs better with more bands. ![]()
