What I’m reading from others is that Hermès needs to release new Hermès faces that allow 3rd party complications.

If Apple/Hermès can pull that off, I’ll upgrade from S5 to S6. I find myself using watch faces that can give me data beyond just the time.

Otherwise I’ll likely just pick up one of the new Hermès bands and sit out till the S7.
Options other than the date would be so AWESOME and make me stop bitching about them removing force touch.

Wow that is really low. I've never sold my Hermes watches for less than $900, and sold the S4 for $1100 upon the release of the S5. I wouldn't even sell the S5 for $750 as that's way to little an amount I'd be willing to take after one year. If I can't get at least $900 I won't bother even selling it and keep it as a spare.
Yeah. Everything except the cheapest model has like NO resale. The market has basically deemed that ALL used AW's have (basically) the same resale price. Aluminum, SS, Hermes, Ceramic... all within $20 of each other.

The Hermes is NOT a good value. But I like the faces and the leather bands... so I happily 'throw my money away'. But I also only upgrade very 3 years or so.

Buying a new Hermes every year is probably dumb from a ROI standpoint, but if you've got the $ no judgement here.

LOS ANGELES BABY!!
because the stainless steel space black is the same as last year series 5 space black, so for my series 6 I ordered the stainless steel 44mm with the black/noir deployment buckle for a change. otherwise I would’ve just ordered the same one I already have which isn’t he SPSS with the noir band, which I am selling.

Expected delivery date is 9/25 to 9/29

Upgrading from S3 Hermes to S6. Can anyone comment if there's a noticeable difference when going from the 42MM against the new 44M? Debating if I should get the 40MM instead of the 44MM.

I went from 42MM Series 0 to a 44mm Series 5, 44mm was too big IMO - depends on your wrists.

The 40MM has about the same size screen as the old 42MM.

I like the new color options for the single tour bands.

Me too, but I'm bummed the green is 44mm only, I'd have bought one already.

Also, to beat a dead horse, if anyone here can install OS7 GM on their S5 and report back on which faces pop up.

The new faces (not just Hermes) across the board this year are stellar, probably the best year for new faces in recent memory if you ask me.

I went with the Hermes Series 6 Bambou (green) 44mm. Arrives 25th-29th.

I forgot the Hermes always ship a week or two later but excited for the color.

Also neat that you can get any of the bands if there's more than one you like. I think in the past there's been a band or two you could only get with the purchase of a watch.

Disappointed the Hermes sport band isn't a single loop.

The Space Black models are delivering 9/18 (or at least they were when I ordered mine). I need to wait about 2 weeks to update to iOS 14 until my employer green lights it, so I also ordered the 40mm Rouge in silver stainless steel since I like the color. I’ll decide which one to keep when I’m able to update to iOS 14.

Well I'm leaving the flock. Ordered a Graphite SS S6. Not sure what I'm doing with my S4 Hermes, but I may use it for sleep tracking.

Went with the tried and true Stainless Steel version, yet again. Grabbed the Attelage Single Tour for something different.

I said I wasn't going to get the S6 since I have a S5, but the new Hermès watch faces that are actually functional sold me! ?

Now to off this S5 and take a beating on the resale value. :(

The S5 may get the new face(s).

Ordered the silver stainless steel with noir single tour. Liked the Attelage version but I already have a Fauve single tour.

We finally get watch faces with complications!

Every family has an ugly duckling. It's a fact of life.

JK! Hope you enjoy it and hope to see you back in future releases. The new watch faces really do make it hard to justify the price Hermes premium over the SS watch. Plus graphite SS looks sick!

I just now realized that! Best part of the announcement if you ask me :D

I feel like the Attelage version would bunch up my arm hair in the gap and just look weird? Plus, like you, I've already got the Fauve.

The green seemed bold so I went with it. I also liked the navy but I already have a bunch of subtle looking bands.

Just realised the Noir single tour comes with the space black connectors ??‍♂️
Cancelled that and got the green as well.
What’s your delivery date? Mine’s 28 Sept to 1 Oct.

Was sure in making my predictions on the @mikedop concept thread I would get either rouge or young chicken yellow in epsom, but I guess getting both but in swift is also good!

Can anyone confirm whether the new watchos7 public beta has the new hermes interface? Would love it on my S4 hermes.
