Wow, I think the Hermes has gotten more popular over the years. I don’t think we have to worry about it not being offered in the future. When I bought the S4 Hermes I was inspired mainly because I could get it on Launch Day, while the SSS and aluminum I would have to wait about a month, plus I wanted to try a band with a deployant buckle and the AW faces at S4 time wasn’t so good.I ordered the 45mm version on launch. My estimated delivery is Nov 16 - 23
Need to choose a band that’s available. This combination is available to order:

I've tried toying around with different colors to see how I'd feel about it (red lugs on black watch) but they never look quite right to me. They always match as closely as I can get it.
These are the 3 that got away:
I try not to get them wet. Plus I change frequently. That’s it. I don’t baby my watch.
It's a watch. With leather bands. Everything will wear. You'll get scratches, and the bands will look less brand new. Just enjoy it, wear it, and don't worry too hard about it.
I'm the same. I don't like it when things look used. ?
I know I'm not the person you're asking this question, but I remove my watch while washing my hands. I have always done it even with normal watches. I don't like the feeling of having a wet band or the feeling of water between my wrist and my wash. It always let me to take off my watch after washing my hands just to make everything dry properly. Then I figured I could just take off the watch beforehand, if I take it off in the process anyway. ?
You've got to be the first one to showcase this beautiful band. Congrats. It looks so chic. What a statement piece! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
No I don’t. I just try not to get them wet. It doesn’t always work. I do have some water spots but I just use sensitive baby wipes and leather conditioner
I saw another person post a pic a few pages back, so can’t take all the credit as the first Hehe
I have always worn luxury watches. There was a time i collected Cartier watches and wore those exclusively. Then i sold those and had been only wearing Rolex watches, swtching them up every few years for over twenty years before i bought my first Hermes Apple Watch, Series 3. I was wearing Rolex watches before they were even popular. I didnt wear any other jewelry, but a Rolex. I don’t like rings, or bracelets, or necklaces, watches are my thing and have been ever since i excelled in my career to afford them. A lot of my friends were getting Apple watches in 2017 and before that, and i thought oh those are fun, but if i am not going to wear my Rolex, and switch to an Apple Watch, then it had to be with a more luxurious band. One of my friends told me Hermes and Apple had a collection of Apple watches with exclusive faces and Hermes bands and that piqued my interest. Ordered my first Series 3 directly from Hermes with the Ebene deployment clasp and have bought and sold every series since then. I don’t sell the leather bands as i do collect them, but every once in awhile i will sell a band in the MacRumors forum. I never had trouble selling the Hermes bands in the forum until now, with very little interest in my Noir/White/Gold band which is mint. I gues that band just wasnt popular (i have priced it reasonably at $250). I love the look and feel of the Hermes leather, and then match that with the exclusive watch Hermes faces, it just sets the Apple Watch apart from the others.
I love this question (and also, kudos to you for your correct use of ’piqued’). On an earlier post, I mentioned that it was the orange double tour band on a non-Apple Watch that got me interested in Hermes. At the time, I couldn’t imagine spending a lot of $$ on a watch of any kind. Flash forward a few years. My first Apple Watch was the Series 2, the Nike version (non-cellular). I’d been really happy with it, and then the Series 4 came out. I fell in love with the Series 4 Hermes - the Navy/Orange watch face and Navy/Orange/White leather strap. It was definitely more than I’d ever spent on something for myself (aside from a laptop perhaps). But I couldn’t stop thinking about it, and my husband encouraged me to go for it. And so I did, sort of. I went for the Fauve Barenia double-tour instead of the Navy/Orange/White strap, b/c I wanted something more versatile (and at the time I couldn’t justify purchasing more than one Hermes leather watch strap). I have absolutely loved my Hermes Apple Watch, although I wish I’d also picked up that multi-coloured strap in addition to the Fauve Barenia. It was just so striking. I sort of replicated it by combining halves from two sport bands, but it wasn’t the same, of course. If they ever brought it back, I’d snap it up in a heartbeat.
^^^ All this.
