Hermès Edition Owners Thread

[Boardiesboi]

You make some great points and I ultimately agree. But sometimes with frivolous, luxury items (which all of the Hermès stuff is, IMO) it’s a matter of “I want that” as opposed to “hey, this purchase makes sense”. If I thought long and hard about it, I could probably talk myself out of buying anything Hermès Apple Watch related ever again. 😆

In the grand scheme of things, spending hundreds of dollars (after selling my S6) on something that brings me joy now >> waiting a year+ for a purchase that makes sense. And yes, Apple loves consumers like me lol.

Couldn’t agree with your post more.

I sell the previous version each year at 50-60% of the original price. Plus tax deductions. I don’t end up spending that much to upgrade.

I enjoy the Hermès leather bands and watch faces, and it’s a luxury item. Luxury items are never logical purchases.

Yeah but I don’t want the screen on at all times, I actually PREFER the screen to be off when not in use.

If you got the Hermès model chiefly for the Hermès watch faces, then there's actually a strong argument for AOD since you get to see the Hermès watch faces at all times now instead of only when you wake the screen

I don’t see the need to resale my used Hermès to find new purchases, find it more of a hassle and there’s sentimental value in the ones I own.

Guess I’m in a funk with the S7 intro and was hoping for more of an upgrade. Going to hit up all the straps thought.

Ja I agree luxury TOTL items are never logical purchases. I recently bought a new stainless steel limited edition DAP (digital audio player) 1 of 400, then the manufacturer announced a more limited model of 50 in titanium with NOS transistors as I was waiting for the first one to arrive, leading to another impulse purchase. Whew, out went $5600 for two DAPs that look exactly the same, different case materials, amps, but gorgeously different sound signatures.

Hahaha love that

I think Hermes benefits from AOD more than any watch. Sure the normal apple faces have cool dim modes but the Hermes faces are so dang ornamental and it’s so cool getting double your money with the alternate appearance.

And this is exactly why the S7 is (potentially) a huge Hermès-related upgrade for me: 70% brighter always-on indoors. I love the Hermès watch faces, both regular and circulaire, but in always-on mode they were always so damn dim. So I‘m willing to give them another try with the S7, but they better be noticeably brighter.

Line Hermès
Swift Simple Tour Circuit H: biscuit/bleu électrique 41/45, rouge H/noir 41/45 et noir/bleu électrique 41/45
Swift Attelage: rouge H 45, Bleu Lin 45
Jumping H Vibration: Orange/kraft 41/45 et lime/Kraft 41/45
Swift: Orange 41/45 et Lime 41/45
Double Tour: fauve gourmette 41
Double Swift Attelage: rouge H 41, bleu Lin 41

Will be really hard to decide between these two …

I am quite "secular" in the sense that I will take all 45 versions

 

[Benz63amg]

If the new S7 had a new health sensor I would have definitely gone ahead and upgraded my series 4 Hermes 44mm but I decided that I’m going to wait another year, I’m not in a rush to take a massive loss on this series 4 Hermes model by selling it on the used market for peanuts and paying the retail price of the s7 Hermes.

how much does APPLE offer for the Hermes series 4 44mm AW as a trade in? It has scratches for obvious reasons but otherwise perfectly functional and great battery life

 

[GrandeLatte]

Ha. Originally, I wanted to sell my AW6 to get the Hermes 7 edition, thinking the form factor will change. But I guess I will wait another year. There's really no rush.

Don’t do a trade in with a Hermès. You are better off selling it yourself via Swappa, Ebay or some other platform. Apple’s trade in prices are only decent if you’re trading in an Aluminum watch IMO.

What’s a reasonable price to ask for my series 4 Hermes on swappa etc? Just the watch itself not including any Hermes watch band. I can include a third part leather band but no Hermes bands

 

[anthonymoody]

Another thought...with the uncertain order and ship dates, I actually hope the AW cycle shifts to one more aligned with the holidays. Being able to treat this as a Christmas gift would somehow help me mentally justify it, even if logically that makes no sense whatsoever!

Please God no. I haven’t worn any watch in years but decided AW was necessary the first day out and about doing regular things during this pandemic. Now that I’m sure I’ll stick with it for the long run I’m definitely going to get the Hermès S7 and will be devastated if I have to wait until Christmas.

Already in love with 🥺

Same. I love the Hermes S6, like the S7 doesn't scream any new feelings to me since I came from S3. Now the day we get more battery life, or a major form factor change, I might be in.

The good thing is during new watch off-years, it's just easier to tell yourself to buy a new Hermes band The new biscuit is rather pretty if you ask me, and I've always wanted a yellow Hermes band too.

Just to clarify, I can buy Hermes S07 bands and they'll fit to my Hermes S05 watch? Will they fit perfectly or okay?

P.S. God damn I hate the fact that this is only coming in 41mm, such a beauty, would go perfectly with blue 13 Pro Max 🥲

Yes, they will fit. My S0 Double Tour fits my S6. That band is to die for ❤️

Thanks (,although I meant pairing S05 with S07 – since the screen got bigger again this time, and I thought I've read something about only one-way compatibility but not sure)

I’m pretty sure all the larger bands fit all the larger models, smaller with the smaller. I do not think the lug has ever changed

It’s a women’s band, hence it is only available in the smaller size.

No way you’re in for just one band, but for the bundle, I’ll bet on biscuit/bleu électrique. This is going to be a very expensive Fall! What a stunning set of bands we have coming up…

 

[the future]

I agree, Biscuit is gonna be the go-to for many people because it is so unique among the colours we got so far; plus it has the new pattern.
