I have a question…

I obtained my Watch through Hermès (first an online order then in person exchange) and selected the single tour Noir strap to go with it. The band is too big for me and I’m thinking of selling it. IF I ever have to give the Watch to Apple for a replacement do I need to have this band as part of the exchange? I have AppleCare+ if that makes a difference.
As someone already replied, no, the band isn't required in the event of a replacement. However, Hermes will add an additional hole to the band complimentary. I had to have that done as it's too big for me as well. If you're not near an Hermes boutique, a good cobbler should be able to do the same. Note, though, that either option voids any warranty on the band.
 
I agree that they are. The Fauve only seems to be listed as 44mm there were none available to order
Yep I actually made an error on order day as wanted a 45mm with the Fauve and in my panic to get it on launch day, I glanced at the colour and thought that's it and ordered. Only about an hour later did I notice that it was the gold. With hindsight probably a good thing as I think I wouldn't have got it on the 15th and would still be waiting. Also means now I can go on a Fauve hunt to see if I can get one - I may just settle for the deployment buckle as an early Xmas pressie to me :)
 
If you're not too attached to going through Apple, you could try ordering directly with Hermes. They got mine out the next day when I ordered earlier this week, while Apple's still showing 4-5 week lead times.
Plus you can order the 45mm Noir SB with single tour Noir band - not listed on Apple.com. I have been loving it for 3 weeks now, amazing watch! (upgraded from S4 Hermes SS)

Now that i have used the Noir/Bleu Electrique for a while, i have to say the quality is really good! Putting it on and off daily and it still looks like new.

Makes me feel much better about the high price.
Also very happy i didn't go for the "just black" band and dared to take the one with some color.

Also gotten used to the bigger (45mm) watch and i can't imagine wearing the smaller one again.
 
Does anyone have a 165mm wrist and success with the double tour? It looks like the max is 155, but not sure if there’s any wiggle room in that measurement. Thanks!

Nope, you would need the 44/45mm double tour. I wear 44mm single tours one or two holes off the minimum 160mm and the 40mm double tours I’ve gotten for my mom def don’t fit.
 
So does anyone who has a non Hermès Apple Watch went to buy a Circuit H single tour? Can you actually download the matching Hermès face like Apple says in its description?

I have the S7 Hermès with circuit H tour and there is no QR code or anything on the band case that lets you download this face.

Someone on another forum says they contacted Apple and they said you can download this face.

I think we concluded it means download inside the Watch app, to your Hermes watch. The Hermes branding on, say, a Gold Aluminum watch? Seems impossible.

Great, thanks! At least I can not worry about that and pick up a Kelly DT instead!

Thanks mate that’s what I thought.

I don’t know why I care so much about some rando on an Aussie forum saying that I was WRONG. I was just trying to help them.
 
does anyone know where I can get space black attelage lugs or cheap knock off Hermes bands with the lugs? I'd like to unscrew the lugs and put them on other bands, but I can only find the generic normal lugs online.

I bought the strap and it comes with nothing (no instructions or link) for downloading a face (unlike, for example, the Pride Woven Band).
 
It’s definitely a good deal and AOD is huge, but the question is how long will you be able to live without the new series 7 display?

Essentially, is it worth sinking this money or can you afford the delta to just get the S7 (full price now or hold out for a deal that’s somewhere between $700 and full price, anytime from now to a year when random used S7 deals will pop up).

I don't really care about the new display or the features of the Series 7 vs. Series 5. I can afford a new one, but I was planning to wait until the next major refresh to do that. I guess I'm wondering if this is too good to pass up, on pretty typical for a used Series 5 with the deployment buckle.

Oh in that case that’s an amazing deal given the “fantastic” mark-up on the deployant clasp.

I wasn’t really in the market for an S4 Hermes as I had a regular SSS, but I really wanted this rallye and just took the watch because it was around the price of the one you’re looking at, and I was delighted and surprised by how good the faces were and have no regrets.

Thank you!

I ended up giving Hermès a call today and was able to return both the single tour noir and the single tour noir/bleu electrique circuit h bands. They made an exception because they didn’t fit my wrist and were too big.

They also ordered the double tour noir for me and I should have that by Wednesday :)

I think the DT, DT attelage, and DT Fauve Barenia are all I can wear with my wrists

I would like someone to confirm as my take on it is that it is the colour of the face you can download without the Hermes branding? It just says a matching Circuit H watch face is available - meaning maybe a matching face without the branding maybe
