Hermès Edition Owners Thread

I was ready to click buy back in December but decided to hang fire until generation 3. Obviously everyone's financial situation differs but I just didn't feel the additional cost was worth it over the standard SS, especially when considering you're paying a £300 premium for the Hermes engraving on the back and electronic Hermes watch face alone.

Im expecting a similar price to performance ratio next gen but I'm hoping the form factor will be slightly different to that of the original (gen 0) watch. It might make the cost slightly easier to justify.

I decided the same thing after going over it and over it (and over it). I ordered the SS Series 2 and when the Hermes Series 3 comes out, I will probably sell off this one and then make the plunge. Thanks!

The right decision IMO.

If you bought the Hermes now I feel you'd only be disappointed come Series 3. Here's hoping the Series 3 form factor hangs around for more than one cycle.

Just got my single tour last week. The leather is so soft! Loving it. I'm coming from a Series 2 Sport. The Hermes feels and looks so luxe!

The Hermes site has it in more often than the Apple site.

You must be a good luck charm. I've been checking both the Apple and Hermes websites for that specific band almost daily for at least a month now. I saw your post above and realized I hadn't checked in a few days. And...BAM! It's in stock at Apple.com. Go place your order before it's gone again (I did)! Enjoy.

Happy to help.

Got mine ordered.
 
Anyone find the new bands interesting? I like the lime band but I'm also afraid that it comes off as feminine?

I don't think so at all, I think it's a great color. I love that it's such a pale yellow

I'm digging it and the Colvert. I may have to go for that one since the Bleu in Epsom has been sold out forever.

I wish they had a BLACK Hermès band!

I wish they had a red one. Would it kill Apple to put out an Hermes cappucine in 42MM?

There's a second hand one in one of my local CEX stores which is very nice but still a bit too expensive for a used strap.

IDK... a used leather watch band that has someone else's body oils and sweat. I'd rather get a brand new one.
