Got my Grand H today. Have to agree with everyone else so far. Heavy, premium feeling. The Apple link band was nice, but this is truly much better (I think the weight does it?)
Love the H links and the Hermes Paris etched on the clasp.
I made a comment back in 2017 asking for Hermes to make a metal band. It only took 7 years but the day finally arrived!

This years S10 has the silver titanium and it’s been incredible??? I feel like I haven’t seen anyone else talk about it yet due to no scratches.Looks so good with the bracelet, wish I was as carefree enough to wear them with my watch as I like the look. To worried about scratching up the side of the watch.
It’s uncoated titanium which is stronger than stainless so stainless shouldn’t scratch it afaik and my experience with the Hapi also backs this up.
Case is still pristine.
Yeah I’d really like confirmation on this. Hodinkee didn’t cover the hermes. Do those polished Ultras on eBay scratch?Pretty sure it IS coated to give it the more bright silver finish rather than the duller, warm colour of natural. Either way it seems it is tougher than the steel part of the bracelet touching it so isn't scratching. 👍

As far as durability this really gives the price tag way more value huhPolished titanium loses the warm tint. Polish an Ultra and it looks identical to the Silver Hermès S10. The other “Natural” titanium options (S6/S7/S10) have a warm tinted coating, not “Natural” at all.
The Hermès S10 is uncoated.
For those with the Grand H, how loose do you wear it?
When you arm is down, does the watch go past your wrist bone or does it sit above it?
If you have 40/41/new 42, get the large. Larger sized Apple Watch models including Apple Watch Ultra, get the medium as there may be extra space from the longer or thicker cases.Darn, these Grand H pics are so tempting, very cool/sleek looking. I generally dont like bulky bracelets, more of a mesh guy myself, but tempted given this is Hermes' only metal band.
I'm on the fence, but having a 7.5inch wrist, the people that already have the band, which size would you recommend may be suitable for me? Im not sure if Medium or large even though the site suggests i choose large. Thinking large (when it becomes available) and removing links should work, but not sure.
I got the 46 mm in L, and without removing any links (has two on each side) it fits comfortably without sliding. I would describe it as “perfectly snug”. For reference: I usually wear my Kilim at the second hole, so if I wore it at the first, I might find the Grand H L possibly too snug.For those with the Grand H, how loose do you wear it?

6 inches is like 152mm and my wrist is 155mm.I have a tiny wrist, 6” in diameter, and the small fits perfectly without adjusting any links. Obsessed wirh how upscale it feels.
Never had an issue with their CS and when I have had to return things (sizing issue for clothing), they have been great.Everyone showing off their Grand H, I'm jealous. By the way, Hermes customer service is atrocious. I haven't heard anything from them regarding my order that they messed up. Instead they sent me two FedEx couriers on two different days to pick up the product.
I'm based in Switzerland, I don't know if that is why. It's just weird that they mess up the order, but don't really seem to be invested in fixing it. I haven't heard from them in two days now. If they don't have the size that I ordered, they should at least give me a heads-up. Just ghosting a customer is unacceptable.Never had an issue with their CS and when I have had to return things (sizing issue for clothing), they have been great.
I have always dropped the parcels back to UPS myself though.
UK-based.
Will try removing links today!6 inches is like 152mm and my wrist is 155mm.
I find the standard 46mm size small without removing any links too big. It slides down past my wrist bone and is way too low.
Ok these new MagSafe card holders from Hermès are gorgeous. It doesn’t come across well in the product photos, but they have a real 3D depth to them due to the differing embroidery. Each one has a deeper flocked section too - for the horse it’s the mane, with the rocket it’s the fire coming out the back, and for the telephone it’s the handset. The overall effect looks great.

I was torn between all three, but as I already have the horsey in the stitched leather version, I went for the telephone as it seems particularly apropos.

The card slot feels tighter than the all-leather one. I'm not sure if that's because the felt gives a little more friction, or just because the leather one has loosened up over time.
Y’all are all into the hype of this new, first ever link bracelet from Hermès. Anyone have a stainless steel from earlier series’s and put this band on their Apple Watch? Also on gold stainless steel.Wow, that was quick! Ordered my Grand H Satiné band (46 mm, large) on Nov 1st, got it today, six days later. Love it!
