I think $600 at a minimum, but ask for more and see what happens. The quality looks good so may be able to get more…
Sometimes it makes sense to separate the items. Can lead to a higher price for you. Good luck!
Thanks both. I actually had it on for more than a week for USD$700 and no interest at all. Reduced it last night to $650 and now have an offer of $600 🤣
The interest and market for the Apple Watch Hermès aren’t as good in Australia.
I take it you live in Japan, do you connect your watch to a cellular plan having a separate phone line to your watch? If so buying one in the United States will not work with your cellular phone system in Japan. A few years ago I was in Japan and was going to purchase a new Stainless Steel watch, at the time the Yen to USD was good for me being from the US. I was at the Apple Store in Ginza and they already had it rung up and the store Manager asked me to wait. He had a call into his headquarters to see if the watch in Japan would work in the United States. After about a 30 minutes wait he said they told him no. At that time I had planned to set it up with my cellular plan. I no longer bother having a cellular plan and looking back at this wish I would have just bought it and it still would have synced with my phone. But if you are one that does have it for setting up with a cellular line that you may want to stick to buying it in Japan.
Wow 🤯 that’s even after Christmas 🎄 are the Grand H link bracelets back ordered as well?Honestly I’m not certain. When I talked to Hermes last year they were clear that wearing it would be a non starter. Trying it on I’m not sure. That’s why I went to make to sure what I wanted. I’ll go to Hermes this week and see what my SA can do as far as availability. The Blue and Beton Kilms are showing a January delivery from Apple.
Great to hear that the first Apple Watch Ultra Hermes band looks great. At least the transition to textiles in Hermes bands allows wearers to be able to use it for workouts and activities that require the water 💦 but if you really want to keep it in good condition use a Sport band; folks who have a Hermes Apple Watch already have the extra orange band or black sport band for SBSS users, to use with it.
The watch and band are beautiful, and if it were mine I would absolutely keep it.
I do have to say I’m bummed Hermes has let the fit and finish slip on all these new nylon bands this year. The Ultra band looks way better then the S10, but it’s not the perfection I expect for $450.
Someone said that the fabric bands look like they were knitted by their grandma and not a French artisan 😂😅
I agree… I think there is a fine line between uniqueness associated with the fact that each band is hand-made (which I love, personally) vs obvious QC fails, especially at this price point.
Spent over 2 hours at Apple 5th Ave the last 2 days. Shoulder to shoulder crowds.
The Hermes Grand H will not be available until mid to late October.
Other stores like Upper West Side don’t even have a few 42mm and 46mm samples to touch.
I tried both on with the Medium sized H band. The workmanship of the Stainless Steel band is Swiss quality. Feels substantial and balance well on the wrist. The surfaces are smooth, round at the edges, and the buckle helps distribute the hefty band over the wrist. I’d say it felt more comfortable than a Rolex GMT II with the jubilee bracelet.
On the 2nd day, we tried both again. Walked the store and verify even with a somewhat loose fitting, the heart monitor and other trackers worked fine.
I ordered a 46 with Medium H band and another with Small H band for my wife.
I took the following video in 4K HDR so we can view the luster of this edition.

Thanks for the detailed write up and the video! Definitely looks amazing quality.
Looking forward to receiving mine… in a month
Will post some when I have a moment but the fit is perfect here. No wiggle.
Lol do you know a lot of stainless steel bands that go long without getting scratched?

It's also a store demo. I'm surprised it doesn't look far worse.
Yes it does. I have both.
(Sorry, late to the party - I see this has been responded to several times before I made my post)

Seems like the only Grand H size that's not available on Apple's website is the medium one. Does anyone have any guesses on when it might be available again? Also, for those of you who've tried it, how does it fit? I have rather tiny wrists (15.5cm), I usually wear sport bands (s/m) on the fourth hole (starting from the bottom). I guess medium would be my go-to for the Grand H bracelet?
Mine is also 155mm. I ordered the small (size range quoted by Apple / Hermes as 145 to 160 mm).
I presume you’re talking about the 46mm version. The 42mm S bracelet is quoted as 130-145mm.
Is there a major difference between the sizing of the Grand H (like the clasp and/or H motif being larger or smaller) or did the sizes seem overall identical with simply more links included with the larger ones?
yes, there is a sight width sizing difference between the 46 band and the 42 band.
The 46 'H' is slightly wider than the 42 'H' on the respective bands.
Sorry, i did not pay attention to the buckle.
I wished Hermes had specs on the Watches and bracelets, but so far no.
Yea I meant for the 46mm watchI presume you’re talking about the 46mm version. The 42mm S bracelet is quoted as 130-145mm.
Oh of course they would be different between the case sizes, I’m simply curious what the differences are between small, medium, and large for the same case size.
