That looks good indeed, is there a better font option that looks like the Hermes watchface I’m using or is the one in the photo you posted the closest to my Hermes watcface?
I don’t buy the argument between the series 4 and series 5 because they were nearly indentical except for the always on display which I personally could care less about and is the reason I skipped the series 5, the series 6 however is an excellent upgrade with the new health sensor
AOD seems very polarising, and I’m always personally surprised when someone who has an S5 turns it off because I’m very much in the ”it was a game changer“ camp. I’m less surprised when someone who hasn’t tried it says they don’t value it and, with respect, the opinion of someone who hasn’t tried something is always going to be less dependable than that of someone who has.
In your situation however, when you say you love the Hermes watch faces (as I do), and that you only buy the Watch for the face and don’t value the leather band (which I value even more than the faces). I just don’t get why you don’t see having that face visible all the time is a bonus.
I’m not trying to change your mind and your view is just as valid as mine (though you
might change it once you try AOD), but don’t you think it would be better to see the face you love so much any time you look at the Watch, not only when you raise your wrist?
For me, I’ve bought two pre-S5 Hermes Watches for the leather band and sold them on with just the orange band as I’d rather use a non-Hermes S5 - and one I bought was an S4 that I literally only used for sleep tracking while I had it
because the lovely display turns off.
Lastly, for clarity, I’d have an S6 Hermes on its way to me right now if there was any way to actually get one where I live, so I’m not cheaping out with the standard S5. I bought a Hermes S5 as a birthday gift for my wife earlier this year, but the end cost was close to 50% more than the RRP by the time I paid sales tax in two countries, shipping and a thank-you gift to the person who on-shipped it for me. It also took weeks and depended on calling in a larger favour than I am comfortable to do again. With the current international travel restrictions my intention to go to Australia around now and pick one up there isn’t possible.
Perhaps more on-point to your comment than I realised when I started my response I’m now looking for a good used S5 with European LTE hardware as that’s easier for me to source - and I’m not even
slightly interested in an S4 because it doesn’t have AOD.
