I showed my wife this new one and before she knew about the price increase she said she liked the red one better.The steel version looks awful :\ for $250 you can more than likely get a better watch.. Kind of a waste heh
the new steel has gorilla glass, the plastic one has some scratch resistant coating, which is imo shit since i scratched it up in my first 2 hours of ownage (i was moving, but come on, it's not like i was rolling around on gravel)It's Gorilla Glass. So still the same thing as far as I know.
