The only drawback I can see is that bright red color. Don't know anyone who'd want a watch that color, other than a grade-schooler.
Plenty of people use watches as a fashion accessory - like earrings, ties, cufflinks or necklaces. Politicians wear subdued colors, then a bright red tie. For weddings, some guys like a classy tux and colorful Mickey Mouse cufflinks to show a little personality. Women wear big hoop earrings or gaudy necklaces with classy dresses to stand out. Or bright red lipstick to stand out.

Unless the color has changed from my AW6, the red isn’t that bright.

Almost bought this for my wife when there was a 199 flash sale.
Then I realized she would hate that color and never wear the thing.
I think it's time for Apple to retire the (Product) Red gimmick and just make normal annual donations to the Aids fund from now on because this color consistently undersells every other color option which is why it is always on sale.

There’s a whole lot of ‘I’d never wear this, therefore nobody else would’ going on in this thread.

I’d wear it but I’m not ready for an upgrade yet. The price is appealing though.
Well Tony Toronto, the fact it is the lowest selling color variant proves a lot of people aren’t wearing it. I was a big fan of the blue color but apparently that didn’t sell and wasn’t used for charity clout like the Red watch so they stopped offering it.

If you indeed like it, setup an alert on SlickDeals because it regularly goes on sale for 199 from Amazon and Walmart.

Oh, I used to be disgusted
And now, I try to be amused
But since their wings have got rusted
You know, the angels want to wear my red watch
