Nice comparison, especially at 6:25, which really shows the differences between the two. I much prefer the traditional silver. The Starlight is nice, but is more of a champagne/gold color, or a very very light rose gold. It looks more luxurious, and wouldn't really fit with my plain wardrobe, haha. Ideally they would have an aluminum finish somewhere in between the two, so more like the titanium. I would just get a titanium, but the price difference is substantial, and just not quite worth the investment for something I might only keep 2-3 years.
To make more sales of the stainless steel version. Those who really want that gold tint will have no other option but to go for the stainless steel version. And I don’t see this trend reversing.
Great video, especially the comparison. I would like to see Starlight with any color leather link band. When I saw Starlight in person it looked silver to me, it's just not a warm enough color. Really wishing Apple had kept the gold aluminum. ETA When I went in the Apple store Starlight did in fact look warm vs when I saw it in Costco where it looked silver. I ended up ordering the SS Gold instead which looked fabulous in person!
While starlight is more silver than gold, when you pair with a silver/stainless steel band like you did towards the end it seems discordant. I’ve ordered a golden brown leather link band so let’s see how that looks against my starlight. Also eyeing some third party champagne Milanese loops which might look nice.
Do you think the 2020 Milanese loop, which has a more yellowish gold tinge, might look good as well? I bought one to wear with my gold bezel, but it was a bit too light.
I agree - either you get the same colour band but if it’s slightly off it can look worse, so go for a contrast look perhaps. Kinda like if a song is in C major it sounds terrible if someone plays or sings in C# but not quite as jarring in G.
Just got the starlight SE and I love it. I got the starlight band, dig it. Likely gonna get a second band, maybe red! Any starlight folks out there to recommend some band colors that look good?
I was so excited to get my Starlight aluminum but unfortunately when I put it on it was very underwhelming. I think the color looks amazing against darker skin tones however, I’ve been forced to stay out of the sun after a skin cancer scare and the Starlight color looked drab against my pale skin😩 The band color definitely didn’t help. Sadly I sent it back. Great video comparison once again, thank you!
@@tracyc.1005 I'm sticking w/my series 6 (rose) gold aluminum for working out and wearing around the house. I also upgraded to the stainless steel (silver) series 7 for wearing out and I absolutely love it. My favorite bands for any skin tone are the braided loop and/or the leather link bands in dark cherry. Did you find a watch color to work for you?
@Islam‘s The Solution 4 Every Problem haha yes it does look like yeast, excellent comparison! It sounds like we have a very similar skin tone. Gold always seems to bring some life to my coloring as well. I hope you give it a try.
@@heidis2330 funny you say that, I just bought it again with the dark cherry band and I like it much better. I never thought of trying out the red band. I’ll take a look, thanks!
I do not like the starlight color. In fact, I purchased a series 6 instead of 7 just to get the regular aluminum color. I feel the regular aluminum is more versatile for using different color bands. I'm hoping series 8 will go back to the regular aluminum color.
I’m with you - literally silver aluminum is more consistent pair with the silver products ecosystem. I hate starlight in terms of overall silver product consistency.
I can’t decide if I want the starlight or silver. I currently have the stainless steel, which is the only watches I buy, but Geesh they are pricey lol. Great video!
My stainless series 2 just gave up the ghost so i went out to get a “silver” SE2. The salesperson assure me the starlight was silver. It is not. It is light gold/pink. Champaign. I’m usually up to date on tech but have fallen behind in phone/watch release news so i was relying on the sales person to set me straight. They did not. Now i have to return it.
I exchanged the Starlight for a Graphite Stainless Steel S7… coming from a Silver Stainless Steel and after that the Titanium… it just didn’t feel Premium to me. #YMMV Thanks for the video!
Buying an Apple Watch 7 soon. I like the Hermes Single tour band in Kraft/Orange nylon weave, "H Vibration" motif, and the Hermes Faces, but it looks like only available in polished Stainless Steel, not a big fan of polished. Is there a way to have a brushed watch body? Else, I can purchase Aluminum Starlight and Band from Hermes, but I won’t get the Hermes Faces. Any ideas? Thanks…
Thank you Juan: I read now that You'll make comparison between S6 vs S7 (red's, blue's, and midnight and space gray) ! You are amazing ! Your vibe is very welcome and you have amazing skills about apple products !
Thanks so much man! YOU actually helped plant the seed to keep doing these. I think you commented earlier asking for the red one, so most likely , that one will be up 3rd. I plan to do midnight vs space grey, then red then blue. Thanks for watching my vids and for having bell notifications on my man! Appreciate ya! 💯
Now that you’ve had this band for a year, would you say it stays securely attached to the arm while doing sports or running? I wanted the silicon sólo loop for this exact reason. I don’t want the watch to fly off my wrist when running. But people say it stretches and it becomes loose. But with this one I wonder if it’ll stay put.
Love the eucharistic shout out. Hey Juan. At that moment (4:47) you featured a two tone band of kind of a light brown and half yellow. where do can i get that band?
I am currently owner of series 5 (space black colour) and was hoping to buy s7 in aluminium silver. I was kind of disappointed that Apple discontinued this iconic colour. Do you think the new starlight will go well with the rubber green sports stripe?
@@elitecasting5391 lol it really doesn’t ….. some ppl prefer the smooth texture and look if aluminum, same as the iPhone ….but enjoy continuing to spend a ludacris amount of money on your “shiny” version 😂
The New Starlight color is my fav in 2021 in any iPhone. In apple watch I like Midnight. As it feel simple. As always love the vid. Keep grinding 🔥❤️🔥
Nice video and very informative. Has your tattoos caused any problems with the sensors on the Apple Watch 7? I’ve heard they can, but I had a series 3 and a series 5 and the tattoo I have on my right wrist where I wear my watch did not cause any problems with either of those. My series 7 in 41mm Blue has not shipped yet.
I have the series 5 in aluminium gold and i’m super tempted to get the starlight one because i feel it will match more band colors. But my 5 is in perfect conditions so i dont know if i should get it. If I new the series 8 would keep this color i would wait.. Juan help me!
I wanna see the new blue S7 Watch with different bands (especially my own favourite - Pistachio solo loop), also, have a loot at how they look with other apple devices in blue like iPad Air and the new iPhone 13 Pro!
Gotcha! Hear you loud and clear! I will for sure do that for you as well as model it with a ton of different bands. Any other specific bands you'd like to see it with?
@@TheJuanOnly Thanks for your question! I also enjoy last year's Northern Blue Solo Loop and omg PLUM sport band! And as more blue band, why not to try Surf Blue Sport Loop?
My Tmobile salesperson tricked me into thinking the starlight was silver. I kept calling it silver and he kept agreeing. I got it home and, its champaign. Its pinkish gold. The band is light fleshtone. It is not silver. Returning it immediately and never going to that store again.
I went in the store to look at the colours. I was going to go for the starlight but when I went in person it just looked really tacky like a toy that’s my opinion tho. I was surprised how the silver looked it was nice. The apple employees told me there favourite was either the silver or the midnight colour. But yeah really prefer the silver but just my opinion tho.
Awesome! As i always say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, i happen to dig starlight but prefer midnight over starlight. I like that apple mixed things up as the standard silver was just starting to get boring for me after so many years. Like you said though, thats only my opinion. Thanks for your reply! 😀
I love silver aluminum, but now they changed it into starlight which is too feminine to my liking. The new starlight color is just inconsistent to the MacBook, iPad Pro, and other accessories with silver aluminum. I stop buying, not even interested with any products with starlight aluminum.
Yeah man, I was lucky enough to snag most of them over the years but it seems the leather links probably will replace them. I felt the exact same way when the woven nylons got discontinued :/

I’d like to see the starlight watch with the graphite Milanese loop.
Starlight with that yellow band 🔥
Initially wanted red but it only go well with black/white band so got the starlight. it looks low key premium just how i like it.
I ordered the starlight only seeing the online pictures, in person it was pink to me. (Especially in natural light) I exchanged it for the midnight
The starlight in person looks rose gold/pink. The midnight looks more dark blue than black. It’s actually quite tragic
I got the Starlight I had no debate in my head on which to get. I love it. Your knowledge of the color white is pretty neat man.

If you can't get the same color, use contrast. It sucks - I also would like a silver one but the stainless steel is just too expensive.

Try the elderberry sports band! it’s really nice :)
Thanks to your video now I’m 100% sure to choose starlight color 👍🏻
I wish they would of left the colors alone or still offer Black and sliver
Wow can I take a moment to say that the wall on the background with all the watch bands looks IMPRESSIVE! 🤩 (4:27)
What’s impressive is how you put 4:27 and it went straight to it when tapped how? (4:27)

Same !
Can you show the starlight with the plum band?
I love the series7 with the 8 being out I really don’t feel like I need to upgrade

Can you please display some of the Nike bands ? Thanks!
Me, colorblind, watching this: Cool.
What size is the Starlight watch in the video ? Do you have a video with the midnight color ?
Can you do a gold band with starlight watch. Thanks
Anyone else notice at the beginning at first there was hair on his arm then immediately in the screen his arm was shaved? 🤣🤣🤣
Starlight = White Gold
Midnight = Bluish Space Gray
Juan if you don’t mind pls pair the starlight with golden brown and green leather link too thank you

The silver aluminum case color option is now returned in the launch of the Apple Watch Series 8.

what is the band from 6:57?
No bro my eyes work. I’ll never confuse that for white
This is difficult because traditional silver aluminum looks cheap now because so many people have copied it but it would've been the better option.

Is it 41 mm
nope, all of the watches modeled on my channel are 42/44/45mm unless otherwise stated :)
I think the braided Marigold might look good…
Seems like a colour that a girl would prefer.
Starlight just looks like a dirty version of silver to me. No idea why they did what they did with the series 7 colors
I had to take other colors from my usual Silver just because I didn’t like Starlight too. For example I had to go with Space Gray on my iPad Air 5.
What cookie thing??😂😂😂😂
He’s rambling a bit
