I agree. This is why I've been stalking the Apple website. The whole concept didn't hit me earlier until one day I happened to be at an Apple Store and I tried on the Double Tour. Just like you said Double Tour is REALLY breathtaking in person. Very elegant, very unforgettable.
It always only ever come with a M/L sport band since the original Apple Watch Hermes.
The Hermes Circulaire face is the real reason I keep buying the Hermes edition. I use it 99% of the time. I only switch to infograph modular for workouts.
Same boat here - I am on the penultimate hole on the M/L, but on the S/M is am 3 in. I can easily put it on the last hole and it doesn't feel tight, so I better not lose any weight
Thank you. Yes, you're absolutely right. The small one is my old series 6. I was very nervous ordering the big sized 7 and it's absolutely massive. But it was love at first sight. I've also ordered the 41mm but I think I will return it sealed and unopened so that someone else can buy it.
My Watch arrived just now as well. That Bleu Lin is really something else, isn‘t it? Instant classic.
I've had this whole thought process last year and have since then always regretted sending back the bigger size. My thinking back then was to stick with the humble and elegant small size. But in reality I craved the bold fashion statement. So this year I really only ordered the small size as a backup. I already knew I really wanted the big one. So, the small didn't even get unpacked this time. I just checked the big size and kept it. I really didn't want to go through all that decision making process again because it drove me mad last year and left me with the wrong size (in my case). I was so sure about the big one this time that I ordered a bunch of new watch bands from Apple two days before the pre-ordering day. It turned out to be a real good decision because some of them are now sold out but I have them here for my new watch.
Could you check the circular in the white version for me? I'm not quite sure but my white version doesn't look optimized for the new screen size. But the dark circular version looks optimized. Or maybe I am just imagining it.After a few hours, the S7 Hermès is a bit of a mixed bag (for me).
The Bleu Lin Single Tour is fantastic, easily my co-favourite Hermès strap (along with the Bambou and Bordeaux Single Tours).
The Watch itself doesn‘t look perceivably larger on the wrist while the new screen is absolutely fabulous. It makes the S4-6 look quite old.
The new screen, like the tide, floats (almost) all boats, i.e. watch faces. For my most used ones, Infograph is bigger, bolder and more legible while Info Modular will be replaced in my daily routine by the very useful Modular Duo. Best of all, Typograph is massively improved by the digits moving much closer to the edge. I also like Stripes, now that they span almost the entire display.
The Hermès faces are where the bag gets (very) mixed. Circuit is nice, but I would only ever use it with a Circuit strap (which I do not plan to get). Circulaire was optimized in size and is bigger and more legible, but still very dim in always-on mode. (As Infograph is more useful, I never used Circulaire all that much anyway.) The keep-or-send-back question for me boils down to the regular Hermès face. I love, love, love the one with only 4 digits and the „fat“ hands (in Espace, mostly), and it looks as lovely as ever. As far as I can make out, it hasn‘t really been „optimized“ at all, i.e. the digits didn‘t move outwards, but especially with a black background (like I use it 90% of the time anyway) it still looks great … when it‘s on. It has always been – like all Hermès faces – noticeably dimmer in always-on mode than other watch faces, but on the S7 the gap gets really big. Typograph always-on looks easily twice as bright. Hence Typograph – optimized for the new screen in two ways (size and brightness) – is now for me in some crucial ways better than the not-optimized-at-all, I‘m-#1-so-why-try-harder regular Hermès watch face. Which makes me ponder the value I got for paying the Hermès tax.
Thank you. I've checked again and again in the meantime and came to the conclusion that my brain was indeed playing tricks on me. ?Looks the same to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ There have been several pictures of it in this thread as well that look optimized. In this example, the stop watch symbol in the left corner is clearly further out than it could have been on S4-6.
