Checked out the S5 in an Apple store yesterday and was surprised/disappointed by the slow response of the watch switching from the always-on face to the regular face. Noticeably slower than raise to wake on my S4. Hopefully the S6 will feature a faster response.
I felt like it was pretty seamless on my end. Maybe it varies by the type of face?

Here’s a Korean YouTube video of the various SBSS Hermès watch faces with AOD. I don’t understand the language but the video is pretty informative!


great video, just what we wanted thanks!

i saw him with the double tour at the end and my heart got warm that he chose that type of band...until he couldnt put it on because his wrists were too big and got his gf (maybe) to pose with it

Have anyone returned their Hermès watch; I’m going to go with the SBSS has I really only wear the rubber bands and don’t care for Hermès faces? I went to Apple and they wouldn’t accept a return

What? What country are you in? And I’m assuming you purchased from Apple?

They have to accept a return within 14 days and it’s been 4 days since release...

I have not noticed this.

You have 14 days to return it either by mailing it back to Apple or returning in store per apples own website. Just have to have all packaging and the receipt.
I hear you. I’m just telling you what I was told when I was at the store. I called Apple and they sent me a shipping label. I’ll just mail it

I will be returning a SS Hermes this weekend as I ordered it also in case I didn’t like the SBSS which I am keeping. The SS shipped before I could cancel it as it shipped weeks before it was supposed to. I am going to return it to my local store so let’s see what happens. I will be returning this Friday morning as it is arriving Thursday.

My Hermes arrives tomorrow as well!

That's strange they wouldn't accept the return. It's covered under their return policy.

I'm glad to see that Brien went with the 44mm. I think it looked fine. My wrist is slightly bigger at 6.75 but I always prefer the larger watch.

Apple accepts any returns within 14 days. He could’ve asked for another staff and probably would’ve got the return.

I have dainty wrists for a guy and I love the bigger 44mm.

I’ll try another store this week.
They will definitely accept the return. I’ve brought a couple Hermès watches and bands to my local Apple stores over the years (and they don’t even carry that version in store). The return took about 5 minutes.

Check out this review from Appleinsider on the Noir!!

Great review by Appleinsider but I am not a fan of the all black look with swift leather (my least favorite type of Hermès leather). The overall watch just looks so boring to me.
Why can’t we get a specific Hermès case material? More Rallye and Epsom leather choices? Here’s to hoping for the S6!

We get it. You don't like this year's model. How many times are you going to repeat it?

Check out this review from Appleinsider on the Noir!!

I saw this video too! The watch with the noir watch face in the thumbnail looks really nice. Someone in the comments section mention that the black packaging is the thing that is limited and after it runs out, the box goes back to the usual orange ones. I still think the limited wording in the Apple site more likely mean that it may not be back for Series 6 though.

In another old YouTube video on Hermès Apple Watch, I saw a comment saying that you can buy the watch without the leather bands in Hermès shop in Paris! Wonder how true is that for Hermès shops around the world or perhaps it was something that was allowed in the past/only in Paris?
