Is there anyone not from the US here? How come you can’t find the Apple Watch page on Hermes web store if you set shipping to your country? Before it has been there.
I mean I think there’s no official way to buy the watch itself back here in Finland but what harm has a little band done?
I’ve ordered bands from Hermes and now I can’t

I can only speak for the USA but if you download the Apple support app (blue icon with white apple logo) and select your watch, then select apple store and shopping, it should give you an option to purchase apple care. I think you have 30 days from your date of purchase but don’t quote me on that.
Am now wondering if I shoulda gotten rouge H.
First world problems I know 😭😭😭

You can purchase AppleCare+ within 60 days of the purchase of your Apple Watch, regardless of whether you got it from Apple or Hermès.

When i have purchased bands or watches from them in the past, they shipped it on the day of release. So it would be Friday the 15th

So if they ship on Oct 15, I might only get it Oct 18 or 19... May as well stay with Apple as my estimate is Oct 21.
But I did message my SA and asked him if he could put one aside for in store pickup next Friday
Will they have them in store on the 15th? So far none of the apple stores near me show that they will have them in stock. Still debating on ordering another band, the biscuit or the bleu noir. Leaning towards biscuit as it is such an unusual color for Hermes to release.So if they ship on Oct 15, I might only get it Oct 18 or 19... May as well stay with Apple as my estimate is Oct 21.

I meant I messaged a sales assistant that I usually deal with at the Hermès store. I called him yesterday and he said he doesn't know when they'll get it in store but still worth a shot.
I think the biscuit is a unique colour. Love to see some real life pics before jumping on that.
But why would some printed links on the Circuit H bands cost more? Just because?
I know the higher cost of the Circuit bands caught me by surprise when I was ordering this morning. But the rouge H noir was the only band I really wanted to get with the SBSS 45mm. I just wasn’t expecting that. Probably cost more just because its Hermes. I never even saw an option for a trade in, lol. I was clicking through super fast so I could get it on launch day. Had order placed within 1 minute of going live! Even got confirmation email at 5:01am Pacific time.
Seems odd because series 5 had printed bands but those didn’t cost more
I’m upgrading from a series 4 to a 7 with the Bleu Saphir/Orange Jumping Single Tour and managed to secure a delivery date of 25/10. Interestingly, that combination is no longer on the Apple Store and the band doesn’t seem to be either. If it is discontinued, I’m glad I got my order in early!
Opposite for me - my apple arrival dates are Nov 16-23, so I'm thinking that if my order from Hermes.com ships on Oct 15th, I'll get that one first and can cancel or return my order from Apple. There's no Hermes store in Arizona, so that's not an option for me.So if they ship on Oct 15, I might only get it Oct 18 or 19... May as well stay with Apple as my estimate is Oct 21.

That’s really disappointing given there’s a Prada store in Marfa, TX of all places.

That‘s how fashion works sometimes. They charge more because they can. Remember there is already a $211 premium buying the Apple Watch Hermes vs. the stainless steel plus an Hermes band. That’s a lot for the extra warranty and watch faces.
You do get exceptional service from Hermés too, which adds to the premium. I posted earlier I accidentally got ink on my orange Attelage and they fixed it on scene at the store and for free (maybe because it was only two days old?).
I’m skipping the Series 7 (have a Series 4) hoping for additional updates on the Series 8, but am debating whether in addition to the Rouge Attelage band I just order ordered if I also get the Biscuit/Bleu Electrique Circuit H. It’s just so unique, and the colors pop!
Hermés but they didn’t ask. They inspected it first, presumably to make sure it is theirs and not off-brand.
Edit: I should add that it’s not 100% but much, much improved and the integrity of the leather is intact.

You wiped of the excess ink with a damp cloth and then brought it to an Hermes store . . . How did Hermes get the rest of the ink off your strap? Btw, was the fountain pen ink water-based or permanent ink?
