Thanks.

I am loving the Watch. My last watch was the space black stainless steel series 5.

May be not getting another space black stainless steel will give me a new look and change.


By the way, it is normal to leave a gap of one finger space between the wrist and the strap? Or it is better to have it snug so that the ECG sensor has a better reading?
One finger space seems to be quite loose.

All fitness measurements including heart rate and ECG and blood oxygen all need the sensor on the back to be on contact with your skin.

If the watch keeps locking automatically that means it’s too loose to remain connected and unlocked.

So I should go to Hermes and have them add an extra hole.

Hope it will not damage the leather band.

Wow pretty cool to see Space Black/Noir on TV (The Morning Show 206 on TV+). Unbelted, but still…

I saw that too and I couldn’t take my eyes off it haha. Why doesn’t it have AOD on though?
While I think not just giving her the same SGA+black sport band/loop shows attention to detail, keeping the thing charged is probably too much. And better than when someone pretends to answer an iPhone and then talks to the regular lock screen haha.

OR it’s that really stealth Noir face I don’t have anymore on my SSS ?

Nah it won’t damage the band. All my Hermès bands have one extra hole it them.

I went to Hermes and they said that my watch looks perfect and if I made it tighter then it may give my wrist and leather strap no breathing space and may damage the leather.

Said if the Watch was moving then it would be different.

Suggesting I give it a few more days to try. If I still need an extra hole, I can go back to them anytime.

Let’s try for a few days.

Is this Sanaa Lathan? She plays a high power attorney (Lisa Arthur) on season 3 of HBO Succession. I couldn't help but notice her AW. Is it stainless steel with white sport band she wears on the show? Sorry I couldn't find a better pic.

Good eye! Nice to see someone on that show not rocking some Veblen-good statement mechanical. And it is indeed Sanaa, love her casting. Definitely was not ready for this premiere after two years of not watching this show.

I think this is my first time seeing her after hearing her name floated as the lady who tried to playfully bite Beyoncé lol. SSS with a white sport band will always remind me of Tim Apple’s setup the first few series.

I wondered where I had seen her before! I noticed her watch on both programs, but didn't realise it was the same person lol

I don’t think it’s the same actress.

The one on the Morning Show is called Karen Pittman

Im about to buy a simple tour jumping color but need feedback about usability (sports? water? sleep?) and pictures of the new orange and lime ones. Any volunteer? ?
 
Can't help it. Just love the solo loops so much more than the Hermes bands.
Series 7 with abyss braided loop.

I have an green / Olive color Solo braided loop band from last year. I think it will go well with the Stainless steel Hermes. I just got my watch yesterday and wanted to use the Hermes band right away.

Lol.

I have have a blue solo loop from last year which should go well as well.

How many of you are into collecting Hermes bands for the Hermes Apple Watch?

Which are the best ones for the Stainless Steel?
 
Did you all buy the Apple Care+ for your Hermes Apple Watch?

Is it worth it?

We get 2 years limited warranty out of the box.

Why is Apple Care+ for the Hermes Watch double the cost of the standard Stainless Steel Apple Watch?

There is nothing more special with the Hermes Watch from the standard Stainless Steel Apple Watch.

What are your thoughts on this?

I don't collect them at all. I always keep them new in the box until I upgrade and sell the watch. Even when I wore automatic watches back in the day I always went for metal and rubber straps.
That said I have a small collection of knock-offs from Amazon, just in case I have to attend a formal occasion. But even then I gravitate towards simply wearing a black or navy solo loop.?

I've never bought Apple Care for any of my Apple devices.

Why get a Hermes Watch if you don’t use the Watch straps on a daily basis? Sorry, just wondering.

I was thinking many of you had a collection which you rotate the straps on a weekly basis or so.

Before wearing the Apple Watch I had a collection of luxury automatic watches and the normal Apple Watch faces just didn't do it for me. The Hermes watch faces stopped my craving for a "nicer" looking watch and the price was OK for me compared to the Swiss watches I had owned. Like I said, leather bands just have never been my vibe. I don't know why.
 
iam really growing on the vibrant color of the orange sportsband - didnt expect that to be honest.
Is it the same material as other sports bands or did Apple change materials in the meanwhile? My 4 year old white sport band looks and feels entirely different, might be deterioration though

I started collecting Hermes bands with series 5. I think I have 9 or 10 now as I am waiting for my Bleu Lin to show up. I do have one up for sale in the Marketplace with zero inquiries so far which is odd as it’s priced fairly for something i wore 2x. Guess it wasn’t popular when it was released. I do rotate the band every day from either Hermes leather, to sport band or loop, or braided. For the last week been wearing my new Circuit H bands because I really like them as they are different from what Hermes has released prior.

I always buy AppleCare+. Biggest reason is if the watch has a problem Apple will send you an advanced replacement. Otherwise you have to send the watch in for repair and wait 5-7 days for a new one. Good luck.
