Soooo now they I have the Rouge band coming with my SBSS45mm, and I ordered the Biscuit band this morning, now I am obsessing over the Bleu/Noir!! Ugh. Now I am trying to stop myself from ordering this band too. 😩

Do you guys think it’s overkill if I have all three of these bands?? Thoughts??

I would get the Rouge too and swap over the lugs with the Bleu/Noir.

Hmmm the lugs don’t bother me on the Rouge or the Biscuit. Never been one to care if they don’t match the SBSS. Still on the fence, i am sure it will be ordered in the next day or so, so it delivers by Friday, lol

So my card has been charged and the order is preparing to ship, with 19-21 October arrival. What do we think any chance of a delivery on the 15th? :p
I called Apple Germany yesterday and was told the 19-21 I see in my order is not accurate. Their system shows 15-18. The Hermes watches are supposed to arrive on launch day or directly after.

I posted it in this thread yesterday:

(QUOTE) Just called Apple (I'm in Germany) and asked if I could upgrade my shipping to express for my Hermes 7 which shows arrival between Oct. 19 and Oct. 21. They told me it's not possible anymore because it's already preparing for shipping and according to their data will arrive between Oct. 15 and Oct. 18. I've had this with my Hermes series 6 too. It arrived a week earlier than predicted. Seems like all the edition watches showed a later date yesterday but are meant to be arriving on launch day too.

So the Rouge Band in 45mm by itself without the watch here on the US Apple website is not available anymore for delivery or pickup in Apple Store. Looks like that one sold out for now.
 
I have the fauve deployment buckle band that I wear most of the time. When I buy a new Hermès watch, I just leave whatever single tour it comes with in the box and keep wearing my preferred band(s). If I do swap bands it’s usually to the blue/orange nylon jumping tour or the orange sport.
Deployment buckle is very convenient and still comfortable, but I find the simple buckle even more comfortable. Is it the same comfort level for you?

I can't imagine the Jumping nylon as comfortable as leather, but many say it's very comfortable. I had the Apple nylon band, which is now discontinued, for a few days and thought it was quite uncomfortable.

The deployment buckle is very comfortable, I personally don’t find the extra hardware getting in the way or causing any discomfort.

The jumping nylon band is such a tight weave and with whatever composition they used in the material itself, I find it to be very comfortable as well. No sharp edges, no loose pointy threads, has a soft feeling, etc. Not as soft and supple as leather but notably better than Apple’s first party nylon bands, at least to me. I’ve gone several days to weeks at times wearing it exclusively and never had an issue with it.

I used to like the deployment, but no longer a fan. It’s not as comfortable, more expensive, and cannot be interchanged like a typical buckle. Limited in colors/sizing as well.
 
Question for the group. Besides eBay do any of you have a good recommendation of where to sell my 44m Noir/Blanc/Gold Hermes band? I wore it maybe a two times. Put it here in the macrumors marketplace, but not one inquiry yet. It was never one of my favorites, I liked it when I bought it but then I was like, eh. Lol. 🤦🏻‍♀️

if you have recommendations of other good sites to sell on the band on, that would be great and thank you in advance!!
 
Hi guys,

First time Hermes Apple Watch buyer here with the series 7!

just wondering if anyone knows whether the noir deployment buckle comes with space black hardware? If not, does the silver hardware clash with the space black watch?

I have that band and it doesn’t come with black hardware. It’s silver. It doesn’t bother me, but a lot of people dislike that hardware not matching.
 
So last year my Hermes 44 series 6 shipped from TN via fedex. It didn’t ship from china cause it was already in the US. I think that’s why there hasn’t been any shipping info or scans yet
 
Anyone who ordered from Hermes get a shipped notification, can you let us know?
Sure will!! I got my confirmation email at 5:01am. Card was charged on Friday. I think the watches are already in the states. Oops sorry you said from Hermes. I ordere from apple. Hermes isn’t shipping until the 15th.

Is your watch showing as shipping standard or express? I heard somewhere that one meant it's originating in the US and one from China (standard and express, respectively, I think). Mine is showing standard, but it's not estimated to ship until early November.

It’s shipping standard. I think it’s already in the US. Same thing happened last year and mine shipped from TN via fedex.

Yeah, I missed the Apple preorder by 6min and I’m looking at mid November so I also ordered from Hermes.

I think you’re going to have a hard time selling this band. I also own it.

Hermes had stock of it for over a year on their website. Like 24/7 always available. That tells me they either made a boat load of them or people just don’t find it appealing. Whatever the case, you could have gotten a new one just 1-2 months ago so maybe try to sell it again in a year after it’s been off the market. Otherwise you’ll probably have to sell at a steep discount.

Ok. Thanks. I remember seeing it on their website for awhile. I’m not in a rush so I’ll just leave my post up in the marketplace and see what happens. Thank you again for the info.
 
Has anyone found Hermes editions in Apple Stores on launch day? I've only pre-ordered/had delivered in the past. This year, the app was buggy for me so I have Nov delivery dates. Wondering if I should try my luck in-store on Friday.

I am not sure where you are located. It only certain stores in Los Angeles even carry the Hermes model. The Grove sometimes has them and Santa Monica used to. My local store does not have hem and I have found that most locations don’t. You should try the Hermes website. They are taking preorders for shipping on the 15th.
