Normality is to be different. Every person is a different person. And one day you need to be aware of your difference. Aware that you are not the same as the others. That is to be normal.
If you want to be normal, you need this colour watch.
COTD are also selling it on their eBay store here if want to get cashback
If want black, Sony store has them for $299 or eGlobal have it for $171.
Reviews are mixed so caveat emptor:
The transflective screen is best-in-class outdoors. It's may not be vibrant, but it is the most readable in sunlight by far.
Agree with annoyance at lack of heart rate sensor. I've never used GPS or music streaming on mine. Mine worked well with my samsung note 3 and xiaomi note 3.
Agree on ugly factor. That's something you can't really change. I got the official strap holder from Sony (ebay japan seller) and a black alligator strap and even then it doesn't look great.
Having said all this, I'd like to reiterate that the screen is a major selling point. 100% readable in sunlight, even with the backlight off. That's what you should be looking for in a smartwatch, not neccessarily the most vibrant colours. I've had mine for over a year now and I haven't felt the need to upgrade.

I found the screen to be anything but "best in class", as did many reviews - it lookse washed out and hard to read, especially at an angle. The OLED screens of many other devices I have tried seem to be far superior for readability.
But I am glad it works for you :-)
Plus 1 just OP description
Soooo … I get this watch to be normal. So I can be different. This will take me some time to digest. I'll get back to you on this.
Mobileciti have local stock of the black for $191:

what? you pay $50 to get the boring black?
Boring is an under appreciated quality. Would I pay an extra $50 for the privilege, not so much…
Would be great if MC could price match, but since it's not like-for-like…
ok so now im not using samsung so my gear 1 tizen wont work.
will this work 100% with huawei?
From personal experience: In my opinion, the screen on this is really poor, especially outdoors. It uses a non-standard strap which is reported to be prone to breaking. It lacks a heart-rate sensor. The GPS (or music streaming) seems to kill the battery life. Even with "help" from Sony, we couldn't get the watch to work with a Sony phone and Sony's own fitness app - so check compatibility BEFORE you buy. And although it is supposedly waterproof, you may not be able to rely on Sony guaranteeing that.
Subjectively: I found it to be really big and ugly, so take the size (and looks) into account, especially with the bright neon colour ;-)
