Evolution of Apple Watch Colors: A Personal Journey
Apple has always been known for innovation, and the evolution of Apple Watch colors is no exception. Over the years, the company has introduced a variety of stylish and eye-catching options, each with its own unique appeal. Let's delve into the author's personal journey with different Apple Watch models and explore the possibilities of future color options.
From Gold to Stainless Steel
When I received my Apple Watch Series 3 with the Gold Aluminium body for my 21st birthday in 2018, it truly was a game-changer. The elegant golden tone made it the perfect accessory for numerous outfits, and its small 38MM screen size still looked impressive despite my desire for a larger display. After upgrading to the Series 4 Space Grey Aluminium 44MM, the improved screen size and thinner body were a testament to Apple's commitment to user experience. The stylish red ring replacing the previous ugly red dot on the cellular crown was a welcomed change.
Scratch Resistance and Transition
However, my Space Grey Stainless Steel Apple Watch faced an unexpected challenge. After a mere 2 months of use, it started showing numerous micro scratches on the screen. This led me to consult an Apple support representative who explained that the Ion-X strengthened glass used in the Aluminium models is more prone to scratches, whereas the sapphire glass in the Stainless Steel models is much more scratch-resistant. This unfortunate incident made me realize how important scratch resistance is, especially for a device that is worn daily and held in close contact with the wrist.
Current Choice and Future Possibilities
Now, I use the Apple Watch Series 5 Stainless Steel Gold. Despite no significant physical design changes, the beloved always-on display was the deciding factor for me. Initially, I was leaning towards the Space Grey Stainless Steel model, but the rich tone and classiness of the Gold version convinced me. As of now, I do not have a specific color wish, as I have thoroughly explored the different options and made a well-informed decision. However, if Apple were to introduce loud and fun colors, such as the unique hues offered in the iPhone 11 series, it would certainly add a new dimension of character to the Apple Watch.
Conclusion
The journey with Apple Watches has been an exciting one, and the evolution of colors adds to its charm. As users, we look forward to more innovative and appealing color options from Apple in the future. Whether it's a classic gold or an exciting new hue, the choice is personal and reflects our style and preferences.
