What is your take on the sold-out status of the noir Hermès watches? Both Apple and Hermès are sold out with no set return date. Was it that limited of an edition, or do you think we will see it return? I have one and it looks great. The leather is very supple.
The 44mm band is still available in Sydney Australia from the Apple store.
But the noir watches themselves are unavailable.

What would you guys say about the Hermes Band with Edition Watch?
Shiny steel lugs is not a perfect match to the brushed titan, but... is it too bad?

i dont get worked up on mis matching lungs tbh cause apple makes it inevitable if you dont use SSS

For my part, they definitely lost a potential sale by not making more bands available with black lugs. Not that the loss of my sale seems to have mattered!

I actually LOVE all my bands with my Noir! I am so happy with this gorgeous watch!!

I want to sell my Series 4 Hermes with the orange sport band. How much do you guys think I should list it for? Any suggestion would help. I want to put it up for sale today...

I just wish the quality control on the lugs were better, regardless of color. I had to swap watches twice to get lugs that fit and did not have tons of play.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but do you have the Edition (pale white) colour on your California face with the Hermes watches?

Nope, just the black/white/cream/pale pink colors for me.

And I believe each Edition gets their own color, pale white for ceramic and light/dark gray for Ti, FWIW.

So with the band update today I notice the Black Noir Hermes watches aren’t even listed anymore and the new Noir bands are shown with regular SS.

it appears the Hermès Noir SBSS was truly a very small limited time run.

And yet still all over the marketing.

Yes sadly. And the new band only has SS lugs.
So they probably won’t be releasing another band with SBSS lugs

The 44mm is available for shipping. T delivery dates are November 15-18th. It’s also available for pickup in many stores.
Ah ok. They’re sold out in Australia and the Hermès website.
In any case, I thought they would release more bands with SBSS lugs. The new band would’ve looked great with the Noir SBSS Hermès.

Where do you guys buy your extra Hermes bands?

I had a orange leather S5 Hermes, but it was dying by 2pm every day, so I returned it. Now, I'm missing it and I'm torn between the deployment buckle I had for S3, or the White and Blue which was similar to my S4, or just getting another orange one again. My main thing is that I prefer to wear it while exercising or showering so I just end up using the rubber strap most of the time and the very end of the leather strap starts to bend the wrong way. I'm not as used to leather straps although I love the way they look, all my other watches are metal bands.

Hoping for better battery life this time around, maybe turning off AOD will do the trick.

I really like the look of the new Noir/Brique/Étain band.


Yes sadly. And the new band only has SS lugs. So they probably won’t be releasing another band with SBSS lugs.

I honestly was not in the market to replace my S4 SBSS as much as I liked the SB Hermès and the Noir strap, but the fear it would be a "one off" did play strong in my mind, as well.
