I sold my Jet Black Apple Watch and got a great deal on a Slate Titanium Series 10.

After gawking at this watch for over a year and singing its praises, it was time for a change. Trying to baby the Jet Black watch and trying to keep the screen scratch free only led to exactly that - a scratched screen. How it happened I couldn’t tell you, but it was time to let it go. I’m just glad it went to a grandma who is going to use it for Fall Detection and other health features.

I never intended to sell the watch, but when a crazy deal comes your way, you take it. Amazon was selling the Series 10 in Slate Titanium with Milanese Loop for only $450 instead of the usual $750. I jumped on the deal, and even for someone who has a lot of Apple watches it was a bit ludicrous to have 2 Series 10 models.

The Series 10 with the sapphire display has only one difference compared to the Series 11, and that is it “only” supports LTE instead of 5G. I don’t use a data plan on my watch, so I had zero desire for a Series 11.

Slate Titanium isn’t as dark as Jet Black, but it has its own appeal that I am happy with - and best of all, a screen that won’t scratch.
