Can’t believe how much faster the S4 boots up. The S2 takes minutes, the S4 seems to be around 30 seconds.

Indeed. I know they can sometimes be a tight fit on previous generations because the tolerances are so fine - they have a video about it somewhere - but apparently fractions of a mm are enough to cause an issue. Good thing the Sport Loop band I got with it is nice.
As for the thing itself, I’m in love with how much bigger the screen is and it’s definitely got a thinner feel about it without the increase in height being as noticeable. An iPhone 4 moment for the Watch.

At work zzz, might as well throw a pic in to the ring... loop band is pretty comfy and will be fine for the gym, but I want my Juuk ones back for more formal occasions.
That's an arm hair not a scratch btw

Anyone gone for SS? I’ve gone from a series 0 to 4 in SS (couldn’t downgrade to aluminium). Getting a load of flack for being mugged for the extra £320!
Soldato
I’m sure the people giving you flack spend their money on stuff that most consider a waste, the only person that has to justify it is yourself and I went for the SS. After 2 years the screen on my Series 2 was still completely perfect, I’m not risking screen scratches and I wanted LTE anyway.

Here’s mine.

Thanks, very sensible and I agree with the screen scratches, my series 0 is perfect after 4 years...
Currently with 3, so the cellular is wasted... might have to see about changing to EE / Vodafone.
I have. I'm also going from a series 0 SS to series 4. Looking forward to an upgrade.
I personally think that the SS is much smarter, particularly with a good strap, than the aluminium.

With a lack of an "edition" this time I've gone for Gold/Gold SS to compliment my gold XSMax, only downside is delivery date.

I'll be interested in seeing that new colour. Did you ever look at the ceramic S3 watches? I thought they were quite nice - had I upgraded last year, I'd have looked at those.
You may find that that delivery date is very conservative, also
Soldato
You'll be in for a treat.
SS is smarter for sure, suppose it comes down to usage - 90% of the time I'm in an informal setting so I'm quite happy to have a smart watch that looks like a smart watch and the Juuk aluminium bands I have (... once the connectors are updated anyway) serves for that 10% whe I do want it to look a little snazzier. If I had a more formal job then it'd be the other way round. The sapphire glass is obviously a bonus too but tbh I only scratched my S3 screen via some sharp rivets in the cuffs of a denim jacket I have and avoiding making the same mistake twice it stayed injury-free till I sold it yesterday.
Oh yeah, don't get me wrong - of course the aluminium with a good strap is fine. I've done quite a bit of financial services / legal sector consultancy, and that sort of thing, so do dress smartly quite often At least, that's my excuse 
At least, that's my excuse

Finally got to see one today. It is a nice watch. A very good upgrade from an S0/S1/S2 but only very slight from an S3. It is making me think about whether to do it this year.

Get some pics up you SS owners. Thinking of picking up the silver ss with the brown leather strap

Massively faster performance, it’s night and day honestly.
Much better speakers, Siri actually speaks now.
The bigger screen is very noticeable.
What it faster at opening apps and it easily
Noticeable

I’m most impressed by the haptic feedback on the crown, makes it so much nicer to use!
