I wish i could get an hermes branded apple watch ultra. I want the new design and features with hermes bands and optional hermes watch faces. I dont want the tired design of the apple watch 8.
 
Hello, Rouge Sellier/ Bleu Saphir Jumping Tour!

Really sad that the Bleu de France H Diagonal only comes with black lugs and not silver, I was so pumped to order it immediately. The Rose Texas color is nice, too, but only in 41 mm. The Noir Leather Gourmette Metal is stunning (!!!) but I worry that the metal links will scratch the surface of the stainless steel.
 
I want that lucky horse face!

exactly my thoughts — so torn, I was going to get the Hermes series 8 but the Ultra is so nice.

I'm... kind of? ... in the same boat. I'm not sure whey they didn't offer a 46mm Ultra (compatible/analogous to the 40/41mm as the 49mm seems to be). 49mm is huge. HUGE.

And just like that I have a SBSS w/ Bleu de France H Diagonal band on the way.

Kinda disappointed that there are no new jumping bands with black hardware, but I absolutely loved the H Diagonal in Bleu at first sight! Dammit I told myself I wouldn't get a S8 and here I am. 🤣
I'm almost tempted to get the same watch and band that way I won't be limited by the bands with the silver hardware and can have that beautiful Bleu de France!

I ordered the Blue de France as well and I just realised it comes with SBSS only 🤣

The new colours for the standard silver SS seem a bit boring and similar to past years.

So do we know that the new horse cartoon face is available to S7 as well?

I might actually just cancel this and get the new Ultra and buy a new leather band instead :)

I ordered the 45mm SBSS with the Gris meyer band with black hardware (I have wanted that band forever) and then ordered the bleu de France H diagonal band separately.

I love that these bands are coming with black hardware

Normally I go with hermes, but this is exactly why I have gone with the Ultra... shame Hermes is not on the top-end watch.
I can't see Hermes only supporting the non-pro watch. Either it's Apple Watch Pro Hermes, or nothing.

I know the general sentiment is that the new watch is RUGGED and focused on extreme sports. But on the flip side, we all know it's the new top-end watch, whether you climb mountains, or work in an office... Everyone that sees that extra bump on the side of the watch instantly knows you have the top model. I don't see Apple aligning a premium brand like Hermes, with the "mid-range" Apple Watch, even if materials are bumped up.

This is just my take, ultimately I really hope the partnership hasn't come to an end. I only just got involved!
 
New face is available on Hermes Series 7 - another reason not to get the S8 Hermes. I went with the Ultra this go around and the nice thing is the Ultra works with 44/45mm bands.
But the ultra doesn’t have the luxury feel the Hermes edition has especially with the Hermes watch face, there’s just no way around that. How can you even compare a Hermes edition to the Ultra?

They’re completely different products.

I think I’ll keep my S7 Hermès and buy the S8 Ultra and use the Hermès for formal occasions with the leather band, and the ultra for other daily uses.

Can’t wait to see how comical the ultra will look on my wrist 🤣

I mean the Hermes watch faces are nice, but it’s basically a SS watch. I’m keeping my Hermes S7 so no need to upgrade to the S8 unless I am missing some must have feature.
 
I usually list on my eBay store (im a power seller) and I will list Friday right after getting my watch. I dont usually list here bc of the lowballs but I have sold many items here
My problem is that the Hermes leather is usually too tight for my fat wrist :(
But I hate the thought of selling the new "Bleu de France Swift Leather H Diagonal Single Tour" just as it arrives
