BEWARE - Gold Series 5 is NOT gold !

I used to have the Apple watch 1st gen in aluminium gold and decided to upgrade, just for performance reasons. I really liked this watch so wanted to get the latest series 5 in the same color: aluminium gold. The problem is... the series 5 gold is not gold at all! It's PINK GOLD, which I find horrible, especially for men. This little nuance does everything to me; normal (yellow) gold is classy and manly; pink gold is tacky.

The nuance looks subtil at first but in reality it's not; I thought I was going to get over it, but no, the pink is very showing. Everyone around me asked why I got a pink watch... No matter what the lighting was or what band I was wearing... Not one person told me it was yellow gold. Anyway, I feel extremely disappointed and scammed. Why did they decide to change the regular gold to pink gold? it doesn't make any sense to me.

Can I go change it? and please Apple, get your stuff together and re-introduce a real aluminum gold next year.

Thanks.

This is an user to user technical forum there is no Apple here.

If you went online to purchase the watch you can view the different color same as you going into an Apple store to buy it in person, did you not see the difference during the time of purchase?:

Well not really.. Look, I didnt dig further, I went online, I saw "gold" (not "rose gold" or something) so I figured it was the same "gold" than my first apple watch (1st gen). You can find online the differences in color of the two gold, its striking. The new "gold" is rose/pink. For me, it's a little lie to say its just "gold". It was the first time I opened an Apple product and didnt have the "wow" factor. It was more like "**** I made a mistake i ordered the pink one!". I tried to wear it and get over it for few days.. nah. Still pink. Anyway, no biggie, I am just a little disappointed. I went to the apple store (this time to see it) and got the space gray instead. It's beautiful!

And sorry for the dramatic title :D ,but people need to be aware. Not everybody has an Apple store around them.
