Hermès Edition Owners Thread

Does anyone know of a great stainless steel band for the series 10 Hermes that is not a butterfly clasp. Because of my hand coordination I cannot manage a butterfly clasp. I don’t care for the Milanese loop either. A simple fold over clasp would be fine as would a deployment clasp. Thanks in advance.

So what I’m hearing is don’t settle for the $135 trade-in for my S8 SBSS 41mm that Apple is offering? 🤣 (It’s in perfect shape btw).

oh man youd be ripping yourself off in that case

 

[Dstopsie]

wasnt it listed at 500

Yes it was but I sold it somewhere else for more. I have to end that posting.

Apple's trade-in for the watches are a straight-up rip off. Also, they don't distinguish Hermès models from the regular steel models; they're all quoted the same.

Looks like SS to me. No noticeable mismatch with the lugs.

The Grand H band (which is stainless steel) matches the "stainless steel" look of the Hermes AW10; but the En Mer lugs look like Natural Titanium which would match the Natural Titanium finish of the Hermes AW Ultra 2...

That Grand H with the Beton face looks amazing! Can't wait to get mine in 6 to 8 weeks! LOL

I wonder if the Noir face goes away on non SB hermes watches entirely, or if they just add it for the s10 to select. Or just all hermes watches. Anyone on the RC see it on a silver S9 or lower?

I honestly can’t remember if these were there before.

Edit: somehow my screenshots are in your quote but you get what I mean!

Edit2: none of those are the noir face

Still here on my SSS7. In my experience the watchface team isn’t organized or polished enough to be taking away options, they just kind of build up over time. Except the Volt option on non-nike faces.

I would not recommend getting on the RC. Annoyingly the crown just doesn’t work to bring up the Smart Stack/notification center sometimes.

Yeah, I believe so. I’d love the actual Noir face on the silver though! (Doubt it…)

So when we have to buy it, that software is worth an extra $500, but when Apple has to buy it, it's all the same.. 🤔

not quite sure I understand your “shame” post in reference to my post…..

Was thinking of grabbing (i need a silver and a sbss watch) but if it's sold it's sold.. I'm a little tempted by s10 silver but that's pricey for me.

Eventually my goal is to get one of every stainless color released. I have both Silver and Space Black already but my SBSS is gouged and my Silver is a series 5 so i need newer.

Does anyone here have multiple versions of the Hermes AW?

I have S7 SS and S9 SBSS and I'm thinking about getting the S10 STi with Grand H.

I wonder if the S10 gets the Noir Hermès - being that there is no SB option. Or they re-deploy it in the future if/when we get a SB/Black Hermès watch.

I do. I have Silver & Space Black Series 7. Thought I’d be doing the same with the 10, beyond ready to upgrade. But really let down by no space black / no blood oxygen in US. Currently thinking I will pass, AGAIN.

I have a S7 and S8 SBSS and a S7 SS. Im going to keep my 2 SB iterations and swap my S7 SS for the new S10 Ti etc. A little after the initial release has calmed. I also have a Ultra 2, and have to resist the urge to trade it in for the Hermes Ultra 2

It wouldn’t surprise me if they wanted to not maintain the SBSS fork of the software but doing it to Nike is one thing, but the expensive Hermes edition? I’ll enroll my SBSS rn

Noir face is still SB exclusive, my SB S7 and SS S9, both on RC

Does anyone work out with their non-leather Apple Watch bands?

I work out roughly once per weekday. I’ve only ever had the leather Hermes bands and the sport bands. I use the orange sport band pretty much all the time lately.

I’m not afraid to clean the band a couple times per week, but I’m curious to know if the nylon/toile/jumping/torsade bands take a long time to dry after getting damp from sweat.

It would be gross finishing a workout in the morning, showering, then putting a damp watch back on as I head to work.

I keep an eye out for cheap silicone solo loops in colors I have in mint condition. The lack of pin is so good for many workouts.

My order this year! Don't know if it will be weird to put the 42 Grand H on 41 watch

That’s because what you’re actually paying for the Hermes model is the strap and the watch, very little of the cost is in the watch faces. You’re keeping the watch strap, so you only have a steel watch to trade in.

Well, no. In the S9 and prior era the steel watch and the band a la carte is much cheaper. Especially on the open market with these awful resale prices.

Hey guys, I need some advice!

I currently have an S8 in stainless steel with these straps so they both have stainless steel lugs etc
- H Diagonal (gris Meyer / Grey)
- Kilim (Kaki / Almost grey)

I'm really undecided what to go for next between these:

HERMES:
** £1799 - S10 Hermes Silver Titanium + Grand H
+ Silver on silver
+ My other straps will match (I hope)
- Titanium vs silver lugs - might there be a mismatch?
- Very expensive
- Strap is still stainless steel and not titanium.

** £1289 - S10 Hermes Silver Titanium + Single Tour leather band
+ Silver on silver
+ My other straps will match (I hope)
- Titanium vs silver lugs - might there be a mismatch?
- Expensive, but Cheapest way to get silver titanium

Apple:
** £799 - S10 Natural (Or Slate Grey) Titanium + Matching Milanese Loop
+ Silver: Almost silver against my existing Hermes bands
+ Slate Grey: Grey against silver contrast - I'm not sure if this looks good or not :/
+ Cheap
- Not a hermes :'(
- Common
- Milanese loop feels slightly girly in a light color.
- Milanese loop feels slightly like a cheap band.
- Strap is still stainless steel and not titanium.

** £999 - S10 Natural (Or Slate Grey) Titanium + Matching Link Bracelet
+ Silver: Almost silver against my existing Hermes bands
+ Slate Grey: Grey against silver contrast - I'm not sure if this looks good or not :/
+ Cheap
- Not a hermes :'(
- Common
- Strap is still stainless steel and not titanium.

And to throw more in the mix, I could get the titanium Milanese loop for the Ultra 2 separately and match it to the natural S10 (natural band) or slate grey S10 (black band). (ultra 2 shown for comparison)
I'm not sure about the colour matching and the strap fitting properly although apple says it's compatible.

I'm guessing many other people are in similar dilemmas :/

So if price wasn't an issue what would you go for? And if price was a consideration what would you go for the best balance?

 

[k187]

Ok this is a really great close look at all the different colors and types (including Hermes). It's in Spanish (which I don't speak!) but definitely worth a look.
