The Apple Watch Extremely was revealed nearly a yr in the past again in September 2022, and on the time of the massive unveiling was nearly as massive a speaking level because the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 14 Professional fashions.
A yr on, and it feels loads prefer it’s just about a on condition that the Apple Watch Extremely represents the head of the product line, however that 90% of individuals don’t want it. Of that remaining 10%, just one or two truly push the machine to its limits.
I’m not a type of folks. I’ve an Apple Watch Extremely, and I take advantage of it similar to my Sequence 7, and the three Watches I owned earlier than it. So why am I getting giddy on the prospect of an all-black mannequin?
Spoiler alert – that is probably the most “first-world downside” sort of function you’ll learn as we speak. You could have been warned.
Area Grey every thing
I’m undecided I’d describe myself as a really boring man. However in the case of my tech, I am as boring because it will get – I simply actually like glossy, black merchandise.
Meaning my iPhones have at all times been the closest shade to black potential (hey, Apple, for those who’re studying this I’d love the Jet Black shade from iPhone 7 please, however for my MacBook and AirPods, too).
Area Grey is about as shut as we get today, and with that in thoughts, numerous my bands from older Apple Watches had been bought with that in thoughts.
That Apple Watch Extremely, although, simply feels fallacious with black bands connected, in a manner I can’t actually clarify. It nonetheless appears to be like good, it’s simply to not my preferences – a serious consideration for a bit of tech that’s speculated to be, nicely, private.
Think about a black chassis, with that 2000-nit OLED show and a watch face that appears prefer it hovers off the panel like these Evening Mode ideas.

One thing about that accent
It’s additionally value remembering that although the present Titanium Apple Watch Extremely has a silver/gunmetal shade, it’s not all the identical.
There’s that orange accent discovered on the Digital Crown, and that very same shade definitely helps the Motion Button stand out on the alternative facet, too.
The reality is, although, I’ve by no means actually been a giant fan of the orange. Can we please get some customization within the Apple Retailer? Give me lime inexperienced accents, maybe a pleasant burgundy, with straps to match so these colours go throughout my wrist as I am on the gymnasium.
Apple’s personal Extremely straps lean into the orange, too, which is nice – however makes it stand out even additional. On the one hand, it’s a standing factor, on the opposite, it’s probably an even bigger goal for thieves.
In fact, you might simply find yourself like me and have to elucidate that no, I don’t run ultra-marathons, and no, I don’t go diving within the sea.
The true purpose to improve
Look, all of it is a little tongue-in-cheek, I do know. The true purpose to improve to the Apple Watch Extremely 2 is prone to be the arrival of a brand new chip. The S8 system on a chip is on no account gradual (there’s nothing that causes my present Apple Watch Extremely to decelerate), but when there’s the potential for the rumored S9 to be extra environment friendly, I’m all for it.
The explanation I opted for the Extremely within the first place was the battery life to observe a coronary heart situation with out charging every day, making the larger gaps between fees a real killer function for me.
The prospect of that being prolonged even additional, as somebody that travels each couple of months, might be simply the justification I want.
