Are the Hermes faces not optimized for the 7? That would be a definite deal breaker for me.
 
Sure looks like it. Whatever happened to „attention to detail“?

That’s freaking ridiculous. If someone can post some additional photos that would be great. If it isn’t optimized I’m gonna cancel my order and wait until they fix it.

You'd think that "In preparation" would mean they have the product in-hand (somewhere) and just need to ship it out. I'm not even at that point...still Pending Supply. :(
Strangely, and I don't want to think about this too hard....if I log in and check my order status, it's "In Preparation", but if I follow the link from my confirmation email, which has me enter my email address and order number, it's "Pending Supply". This makes me sad and nervous....

I get exactly the same. Strange.
 
I made my purchase and did a trade in with an old iPad I replaced recently then went to sit and set up the new watch so I can send my S6 to my niece on my way home. While I was working a super nice employee came over and said “you didn’t get the bag for your watch?! Just give me a minute. If you bought that watch you deserve to also have the bag!” ☺️
I really wish our local Apple stores carried the Hermes models, as I've never been able to snag one! The Hermes boutique just uses the 'regular' Hermes bags which is nice too, but not as cool.

Can someone try a S4-6 band when they get their 7 to see how the lugs fit? I know they 'fit' but wondering if it'll be like the S0-3 lugs where they don't fully line up with the case.
 
My status on Hermes website is “pending supply”. Hopefully it ships faster than it would if I ordered from Apple.

OH! I hadn't checked via log-in before, only via the email link. Well...I'm in the same boat as you.

...and you
Same and now I'm sad
...and you!

Happy for those who got theirs though!

Just spoke to them and they said it's not an issue of supply, because they would see it on their end. It's just the warehouse getting them out as soon as possible. Hopefully we'll see movement by Monday.

Mine says, “Received by Warehouse”.

when I called, they said it would be shipped out today, and since I paid for overnight priority (yeah, $70 is a bit spendy, but it’s not like it’s a ton of money), I may get it tomorrow. We’ll see.

Based on the braided solo loops, they will stick out more from the bottom because of the new rounder shape. But the change isn’t as drastic as last time and the leather lugs already have some play so it won’t be so bad. The corner of old bands will look a little “flat” too, by the logic of how the series Leather look in a series 4.
I also can’t tell if the S7 has optimised Hermès faces.

Can someone with both a S7 and an older S4 - S6 Hermès take photos of the black faces and full screen coloured faces side by side? Hard to tell from separate photos.
Didn’t it feel like non Hermes faces got “bigger” on os8? Like the California numerals took up more space. I’m calling bull on the fact that Apple has actually changed the faces *just* for s7. The notification dot feels bigger too on my s4 era watches.

OK!! It is here!!! The Rouge/noir is gorgeous, darker than I thought!!!! Here are some quick shots!! I don’t know why the matching watch face photographs so light, when it is darker. I will update for some wrist shots in a bit. ALos the watch is definitely bigger and it feels heavier. This is the 44mm SBSS. I will take pics of the Biscuit band later. I had set my watch up as new and then, decided to erase and start over from a backup cause I don’t want to have to resent everything.

Looks optimized to me.

Let’s hope all of ours change as well. I didn’t pay the $70, but now I wish I did.

I feel that the faces on my watch go out to the edges on the new Hermes series 7. It’s certainly pushed all the way out to the edge when I enter the password on that screen and when I add my watch faces to it they are pushed out also it’s a little harder I see when I try and photograph it because of the angle but they are I feel are pushed out to the edges of the screen
