My Hermès Orange band arrived today! So I thought I would show photos of all of my bands with my S5 SBSS Hermès!

Yeah I've long felt that SBSS works best with bright sport bands - the contrast is awesome. I wear sports bands more often than not, so I'll probably go the SBSS route for S6 as well.

I love my SBSS S4. Definitely sticking with SBSS going forward and if they still offer a Hermès model, I will probably go for it.

I used to use the blue/orange one a lot as well as the rouge, but since the blanc face was release that is all I use.

PS: Anyone own an Hermes wallet? Any recommendation on model/color/etc.?

Hi Everyone,

I'm so excited to join!

I just purchased my first Apple Watch. I bought the Apple Watch Hermès Space Black Stainless Steel Case with Double Tour.

Since I'm new to the Apple Watch, I was hoping someone with a bit more experience could offer some words of advice when it comes to how you selected your Apple Watch size; 40mm vs. 44, especially if both would fit your wrist.

I love the elegant look of the SBSS Double Tour, but I also like a big watch! I'm going to wear it often, but I'm most interested in using to track workouts. I can't try on now to compare sizes since the stores are still closed. I'm a female with approximately 6" wrist measurement. I'm still within the exchange window, so a swap could be possible.

Just curious your thoughts.

Thank you in advance! :)

Calvi! I have tried the Bearn compact and Clic 16 wallets but they sit unused because I only use Calvis now. There is a wide color selection and I personally prefer the chevre leather, though epsom is very hardy. I can carry all my cards plus a couple of bills folded and it’s way more compact than a traditional wallet. Of the colors currently available on the website, I would choose vert bosphore

Congrats - very good choice ?
I am male, small wrist as well, wearing 44 mm. Keep in mind, that the 40 mm does not show "more information" than the 44 mm.
But 4 mm more is not huge compared to 40 mm. It is all about getting used to it. I own mechanical watches with 37 mm diameter. Tiny little things at first, but nice to look it after a very short time.
If you feel comfortable with your current size, then this is it for now. Just enjoy what you got.
...that 40mm thing can be categorized "big" as well.

Those bands got to be worth the price of a pro max? Lol

at the end of the day, you can remove the Apple connector on all these bands and create custom bands if needed. Plus I love the fact that these bands can be used for many years which makes it worth value to me.

Yeah I never begrudge anyone for spending their discretionary income the way they please (so long as it's actually discretionary income!)

Had a relative who once owned a Ferrari which he bought used. People used to give him all sorts of grief e.g. "Nothing better to spend your money on huh?" Then he'd point out that he bought it used, and lived an otherwise modest lifestyle, no second home, modest vacations, etc. It brought him joy and that was that.

Anyone know how to get dark water stains out of the fauve barenia?

Pandemics and leather don’t mix. ?

These of you that own a Hermes AW(such as myself, series 4 SS 44mm), will you be upgrading to a series 6 Apple Watch when it comes out?
I love the Hermes watchface of my series 4 and I know the value of my series 4 Hermes will significantly drop when the series 6 comes and I don’t know if I wanna give up the Hermes watchface by selling it in order to get a standard SS non-Hermes series 6 AS when it comes out. (I bought my series 4 Hermes used so I didn’t pay retail price for it) and i doubt id be willing to pay retail for a brand new Hermes Series 6 AW.

I'm definitely upgrading to a S6 from my S4 Hermes. But I haven't decided yet whether to buy a S6 Hermes or a regular S6. It'd be SS or SBSS regardless. I already have a decent collection bands, Hermes included, and TBH I don't use the Hermes faces all that much. Maybe once I'm back to in-person socializing I'll use them more. I do like them, just not sure I like them enough to pay the premium again.
