Fun fact: for the first time, all new „regular“ Single Tour colours are available in both Watch sizes. Nice!
Got a tip for us?

Does anyone have any guesses why they think the price of the circuit bands are $110 more than the regular Swift single tour bands?

Because prices of luxury goods are completely random (and over the top). I think the price of the new Gourmette double tour is even more outrageous.
Ok. Just wanted to let you know in case you were not aware. Enjoy your watch when you get it it will be gorgeous
Think that means space black is going away soon? The only new band with space black hardware is the circuit H band. And even the old jumping band is showing as unavailable.
Yo, that extra ink on the bands ain't free
Can’t wait to see all the new watches
Good question. I guess the Circuit 45 with black hardware means the Space Black is here to stay and the regular Noir Single Tour will maybe be updated later to 45 (when larger-than-usual old stock 44 Noir is sold out)?
😂
Fauve attelage. And now both Fauve attelage and regular single tour not available.
What's the difference between Barénia leather and Swift leather? Is Barénia considered a better leather?? I'm surprised an old style sold out as so fast, perhaps they didn't make as many thinking there's less demand for an older style strap. I wanted it because it seems like it was the classic iconic Hermes strap?? I was also interested in the Kraft orange jumping strap. I like how it's waterproof and people say it's surprisingly comfortable.
Hmm, maybe that's why they sold out so fast? Once it's gone, it's gone . . . or they may bring it back.
In any case, on the webpage Gold Swift and Fauve Barénia look really close, maybe I should have just ordered the Gold and would have probably gotten an October date instead of November. Since the colors look so close, I'm thinking the leathers are different. I don't know much about leathers. I have an Ebene Barénia and the tri-color Swift dark blue/cream with orange keeper strap, and the two straps feel about the same to me. Maybe the Swift straps are a little thinner and the Barénia thicker and more cushy.
Yeah, I just read this one It said Barenia patinas, but my Ebene didn't really do that, probably because it's was already dark. Anyway, I think if I selected the new Gold swift strap I would be getting my AW sooner. Oh well.
The website's just bugging out. Same thing happened to me too. Try again or use a different device/browser.
Goodbye my Hermes friends. The lack of innovation from Apple this year made me go with Graphite. Did not want to feel like I was repurchasing a series 6 with a slimmer bezel. If only Apple made a Graphite Hermes and stopped being a recycling center for once with Space Black over and over again 🙄
I'll be back when we get a real redesign. However, I can't wait to see your photos when they arrive!

Barenia and Swift are different for sure. I have both the Barenia and Noir deployment bands. I feel like Barenia can stand up to the elements better than swift can. Both are my favorites. Really prefer the leather bands as they are so soft and supple. Not a fan of the woven nylon bands.

The watch with the circuit H Bleu band is the only one I see that is no longer available. The Biscuit and s rouge/noir are still available for November 16-23rd shippingIt is the only one with black hardware. Not a big fan of blue, so I went with Rouge/Noir circuit for a change this year as my last two Hermes were both with Noir bands.
I bet there are just as many (or even more) folks who wish the non-Hermès steel Watch still came in Space Black and they wouldn‘t have to pay the Hermès tax to get an as-black-as-possible Apple Watch. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hermes might be moving on from the fauve Barénia for the time being as it is old. I think it's been around for the first Hermes. Was the Hermes AW available during AW0? I think Gold Edition was available during AW0, and then later, a series to two later Hermes was available, or were they around from the very beginning?
