Apple renders text on a way that makes it appear a little thicker and as long as it’s high contrast enough it should be fine.
Also, look at “PARIS” here and tell me again how larger numbers will be an issue 😂

You may be correct but for me the PARIS stamp is not the same as the numerals and an even font is not the same as a taper when it comes to pixels. That said they do look kind of even here:Apple renders text on a way that makes it appear a little thicker and as long as it’s high contrast enough it should be fine.

One thing that’s for certain, Hermes is the main thing I care about for the Sep 12 event. Assuming the Nike bands will be limited or gone and nothing mindblowing in the main bands.
Also a good time to remember Hermes will likely delete all mention of Apple Watch from their online store in a few weeks…in the past it has not meant the end of Apple Watch Hermes, which by all reports is a very healthy business, and not even the end of random dead stock bands appearing in various Hermes online stores around the world later.

Couldnt resist, I think this shows it has to be in its own limited complication face without San Francisco typeface?
Well Beta 8 and the Nike faces are still there 
How did you make the tray? Link to the wood piece and did you cut the cloth?
I was skeptical of them at first, but they've become my most worn band type. I love that I don't have to baby them in the hot ass, southern summers. My leather bands would be destroyed if I tried to wear them regularly down here!
The rumor that the band attachment would change stated that magnets would replace the current system. My thoughts on that: LOL
Gurman was either fed wrong info so Apple can find a leaker or the leak was misunderstood. Maybe a new band style that closes with magnets but no way a band would attach to the watch with magnets. They would have to be huge and heavy so it wouldn’t detach. And be a huge risk for pacemakers and those with hairy arms.
Getting excited for the launch!

Gurman claiming Apple is selling remaining Hermes bands for up to 90% cheaper to employees - is Apple moving away from leather from now on as they are discontinuing the leather cases & possibly Watch bands too:

Update on that assumption: I’m told that Apple last month started offering employees its Hermes leather accessories (and leather link bands) at up to 90% off. Clearly some inventory clearing going on. The internal deal continues but everything is out of stock.

They’ve always done 70% or so in the special deals portal. Perhaps 90% is one of the SKUs way above $340?Gurman claiming Apple is selling remaining Hermes bands for up to 90% cheaper to employees - is Apple moving away from leather from now on as they are discontinuing the leather cases & possibly Watch bands too:

At the same time my wallet is pretty happy with my extant Hermes colex
I wonder if the vegan Hermes bands can prop up demand for the line

Gurman just tweeted that Apple is clearing out Hermes accessories internally at up to 90% off for employees with an Hermes Apple Watch.
Since they’re ending leather accessories this year, it falls into question their partnership with Hermes.

Apple Watch leather bands rumored to be discontinued
We’ve been hearing a lot of rumors when it comes to iPhone and Apple Watch accessories recently, as Apple will...

If Apple Watch Hermès leather band is discontinued, do you think the whole Hermès line will go as well? The jumping tours just don’t have the same appeal as the leather bands.
Will the existing leather bands go up in price as collector’s items?
Yeah not sure the nylon can sustain the buzz all aloneApple Watch leather bands rumored to be discontinued

Yes, the Jumping is nothing Apple can’t do in it’s own. And I’m also not seeing a partnership where Hermès, famous for its leather, will just make Jumping bands. Makes sense for both sides to end the partnership (although I would hate to see that).
Found an article from 2021 where they were talking about new materials (https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2021/09/in-the-details-hermes):
"Despite this staunch adherence to tradition, Hermès will introduce a decidedly modern material this fall: mycelium leather. Developed in collaboration with the San Francisco-based biotech company MycoWorks, this “Fine Mycelium,” coined Sylvania by its creators, derives not from cattle but from mushrooms. Fournier insists that its quality and durability meet the same high standards of traditional leathers [...]"

On the other hand: we’ve had this discussion every year when all of the bands were sold out and there were some hints here and there (this year you could argue that making the Nike faces available means some sort of contract ends, etc.). But they’ve always continued this partnership, so fingers crossed! 🤞🏼
