Most importantly, Apple's design team has to reimagine the various watch faces to be flexible enough to run at full power when you’re looking at the watch and in a low-power mode for when the watch is at your side or resting on your desk. This meant a lot of software changes for watchOS 6 too.
I like that Apple Watch plenty, but it doesn't have quite the same gravitas as the ceramic. Instead, we got the new gold-colored steel model, which seemed to step in as last year's most luxe option. That's exactly why I was disappointed to see the Edition collection disappear yet again last year with the release of Series 4. I think most of us here around HODINKEE HQ were fans – the Apple Watch's curvy design is perfectly suited to polished ceramic. These Edition Watches were priced just a hair over $1,000, so they were still more than twice the price of the introductory models, but they weren't anywhere near the original gold models. Then with the Series 3 we got a pair of ceramic models in white and space grey, which Ben reviewed right here. When you're talking about Apple, "small numbers" could easily mean tens or hundreds of thousands of units. We still don't know how many gold Apple Watches were sold, but most analysts think the number was pretty small, relatively speaking. Apple mostly declined to comment about it, simply saying that the collection would be evolving over the years and this was part of that. When the Series 2 debuted in 2016, these models were suspiciously absent.
