they are both equally nice, the white is said to be more desirable in USA, the black is said to be more desirable in Asia .... i had the white, but secretly wanted the black :-)

you will get more attention with the white one than the black one, for sure, of course the question is does this sway your decision at all?

either one you get will have you glancing at the other one, cognitive dissonance :-)

and either one will be an excellent choice

I find the dial on the white model looks bigger than black one

I'm now confused what to do as I've always wanted black but the white is very eye catching!

Help

Cheers
Check them on your wrist, I found the black dial to be unreadable
