You know it! Its beautiful and SOFT.

Side note: As my first Hermes edition, the faces are pretty dim - other than lucky horse. Kinda disappointing. Especially circulaire which is beautiful otherwise.
Thanks for the confirmation colour!
Now im absolutely kicking my self as this was my first choice when i saw the bands but on the Apple Store online to me the band looked more orange but in your pics it looks more of a tan colour which is my favourite.
Ahhhh i knew i should have went with my first choice :(
Dont get me wrong i do like my pure black leather one but your pic you just put up makes mine look lame now LOL.
Love it so much.

If you get a chance please would it be ok to post a pic of the band it direct light or sunlight??? Just curious to see if it changes colour or not?
 
Theres no easy, quick way to remove the deployment mechanism onto other bands right? I only wear watches with deployments but the options are limited it appears for the Hermes bands.
It’s actually not hard to do. You only need a small screwdriver to remove the deployment clasp and it takes just a moment. Getting a regular buckle off of another band using a spring bar tool is honestly the more difficult part of the process. I wrote a post on how to do the swap earlier in this thread (last year sometime I think).
 
I never knew Hermes was this involved with Apple that it came out with Feu for the AW. Hermes really puts heart and soul into this collaboration.

While we are on the subject of orange, did it ever introduce Potiron?
No but Feu was offered for a really long time and even brought back. Feu Epsom was Orange Swift before Orange Swift.

I have both generations (first one ordered was not the right size)…not sure if they changed them or not.

I almost got the all black, but i figured it came with the black sport band so i’d have one already. Besides, i’ll pick up a few separate bands later:)

I’ll post a full sunlight pic tomorrow.

Yesterday I couldn't hold back the excitement of having the new Hermes SB and, in addition to the sport black band that came with it, I bought on eBay (very good price I must admit) the sport Hermes orange one 🫰.
Will it go well with the SB? The pin is silver but I don't mind it as much as the lungs, which in this case it doesn't have.

I love the Hermes orange shade, especially seeing that all the faces include that shade setting which I didn't have before!

That band matches everything. Hermes Orange is incredible.

Here it is on SBTi

I think the Hermes Orange will look fantastic with the Space Black and as you can see above with the pic it 100% looks great.

I’m lucky to have this band. There’s also a gold pin one out there. And let me say the SBTi pic is def some funky lighting. It was either a smoky sky or like rain clouds with the sun. Gorgeous

Is the Gold Pin one a Limited Edition model or something?
 
Two little things... It's a shame there's no gradient face for the SS version, and that you can't change the 'active' colour of the Hermes Circulaire face from white.

I think if you buy at a Hermès store you can't return or at best you'll get store credit. With their website their policy could be different, so there's that to consider.

It's 'complimentary', hence why it's prepaid.


Here are the terms & conditions on the Canadian Hermès store online for Apple Watch:

So looks like Watches cannot be returned if opened/paired. This is good information, as Apple will take back items once opened.

I ended up ordering from the Hermès site, and will cancel whichever order does not ship before the other. I know I'm set on this watch/band combo, so it's no issue for me.

Apple bumped my delivery date! Was originally Oct 11.
So I just cancelled the Hermès order as there was no movement on that.
Guess it doesn't hurt to have Apple's better return policy, just in case.
