LOS ANGELES BABY!!
wow that’s crazy and I’m all the way over in Sydney,Australia.
Maybe there is less demand for Hermes watches in Sydney them a city like Los Angeles.

I know. It sucks. My order is still processing i always order my Hermes right after the event and this is the first time it has taken this long to ship. all I can do is sit and stare at my Noir deployment clasp. I even calmed the Hermès Beverly Hills boutique and they don’t even have them. Also the first time that the Hermes Online Store has not had them in stock to ship right away right after the launch. So it makes me think that somethings going on between Hermes and Apple regarding getting the bands to them to ship the watches.

I did come to the conclusion that next year I will not be so quick to sell my Hermes Series 6 Apple watch before I get the new one since I have been watchlses for the last week when I shipped my Hermes series 5 to its new owner. I really miss my Apple Watch and I’ve had to slum it by wearing my Rolex ????

That is interesting. Looks like a lot of the 40mm are out of stock, maybe never to return?

Hermès bands don’t last long on the store.

I bought the blue/white/gold color block in May and it disappeared from the site shortly after.

and the winter band that was released last November didn’t even last a day.

I also noticed they limit you to two Hermès bands on the apple store when checking out.

This happens every year. Last year the Space Black Hermes quickly sold out and took a few months to re-appear.

Longtime Apple Watch owner (from day one), but first time Hermès Apple Watch owner! In love with Navy Swift single Tour and the Fauve Double Tour!

9/30 - 10-5 update, will be delivered on Monday, got the shipping info but it had zero detail until now. Shows in Canada at the main UPS depot in Concord. Highly doubt it shipped from China last night and already in Canada so must have been here for a while.

Watch is in - the watch screen from S3 to S6 is wayyyy different. Mainly because of the bezel and the size difference. Loving it thus far though.

Last night UPS showed my Hermes watch with the navy swift band landed at Worldport in Louisville at midnight, still scheduled for delivery Monday the 28th. Earlier this morning I check and it’s already out on a truck for delivery here in San Diego.

Seeing the photo @Cbarnett202 just posted of the same band, I’m glad I picked that color. It looks great!

I think this one falls on Apple. I got my Space Black launch day, Verizon couldn’t activate it, they said Apple gave them no time to get them in the system. Developers were pissed because they were given little warning to release final updates for their apps. I am wondering if they didn’t expect the demand they got for Series 6.

I'm with you on that too, it better be a better experience. Good thing they don't do a Hermes version hah
I think the iPhones will be the toughest release so far cause so many stores are still
Shut down. In Los angles you can only do curbside but they don’t even have stock to pick it up

I agree. Hermes said they ar experiencing delays with the bands and apple is with the watches. So they both point to each other.

I think the changes to the power block being added or not occurred on shipments prior to 9/24 so if it shipped before yesterday chances are its coming with a block.

It’s ok. It happens!! But it won’t happen when I order my new iPhone 12 pro max!!!

When did you order this? It seems like if its been stuck in processing this long that there might be something wrong with the order. Have you called Apple about it? I ordered mine on the 16th and its scheduled to arrive on Monday. I'm in the US as well.

The only reason I mention this is I placed an order with Apple one time for 4 new phones for my family and my Credit Card company flagged the order without me knowing. It sat in processing for an extremely long time before I finally called Apple and they told me the order was being held due to the Credit Card flag. As soon as I called my CC company and verified that it was me that placed the order it immediately moved to "preparing for shipping." Just thought I'd mention it in case something similar was happening.

Thank you for your message. I used my apple credit card. I will cal apple and see if here is any issue. I ordered my watch on the 15th but the time frame was 9/30 to 10/7. But a lot of people got heir watches early.

I have called apple online before so I will
check with them again.

Could be nothing, just seems like it should have gone to at the very least “preparing for shipping” at this point. Could be worth a call.

sorry if we covered this but they have tweaked the buckle! I’m pretty sure the metal is thicker/flatter and for sure the STAINLESS STEEL legend is engraved thicker. Old left, new right.

Interesting, it almost looks as though the new ones are being 'punched' rather than laser engraved. The stitching looks slightly different as well. Any difference to the "Hermes" logo?

Hi

Called just a bit ago and nothing wrong on
their end or with my apple credit card which currently has zero balance on it. They expect it to ship within the time frame, it’s just not coming early, sadly.

Thank you everyone. Will keep everyone posted.

I’m still stalking the website for the option to pick up.

I mix gold and silver so I don’t really care that my Hermès bracelets (with the exception of a couple petite pieces) are gold and the watch I’m aiming for is silver because my current one is silver ?.

did someone say they picked theirs up at the Apple store?!
