Hermès Edition Owners Thread

Edit: Never mind! After restarting the watch and phone twice, it fixed it!

Anyone else having an issue with iOS and watchOS 26.5 where the Spring 2026 colors (Capucine, Trench, Paille) appear on the watch but not in the Watch app on the phone (and if you edit a face on the watch and select one of the new Spring 2026 colors it immediately deselects the color).

It’s like there’s a mismatch between the colors available on iOS and watchOS, so watchOS won’t let you select them.

This bug was in 26.4 when the new colors were introduced. Same resolution. Rebooting both devices resolved it. Weird to see it persist.

Big fan of the new straps.. especially the new Toile H, still elegant with the little extra.. love them, black is coming too🙂

Ah! I was upgrading this pair of devices directly from iOS 18 to iOS 26.5, so that must be why. I had to restart everything several times, because at first the new faces wouldn't even install on the watch. Very buggy.

I also see one of the other long running bugs still isn't fixed: if I long-press the watch face to enter the face selection view, when I go back to the watch face the crown no longer responds to scrolling (to open the Smart Stack or notifications). I've only ever seen this bug on Hermès watches. Because I frequently changes faces, I'm constantly seeing this bug. (it's easily fixed: just press the crown to go to the home screen, and that "resets" it and it works again... but still, very annoying)

Seems like a legit bleu jean double tour? I'm thinking about it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/267611774989

These are the two links I check each eBay buy:

Scroll down to the bottom for the Hermes section. Also keep in mind that the box is UV light reactive to showcase a security seal.

Most of these you can really only confirm in person. Could maybe ask for a clearer picture of the imprinted date code.

I also don’t buy from anyone with less than 100% rating. Someone with a 98.5% rating screwed me.

Sorry you went through that.

Name and shame please!!

I’m using the Hermes S10 with the Grande H Stainless band. Large. If I take out one link, it can feel slightly tight in the summer, but it does not slide. If I don’t remove a link. The watch slides significantly. Which is better. My wrist is 184mm.

I know this. It simply depends on your preference - but a sliding watch with a heavy band is not really something comfortable. Take the link out and use an alternative band "in summer"...

One more thing: If the watch is too loose, the sensors are not working properly and the watch asks for the code, because it thinks, you took it off.

Thanks for your reply. It’s not so loose as to trigger a code, but it really falls down to my wrist bone.

Been happily on the Series 10 Hermes while still occasionally using my AWU1 when working out etc, but when a three month old Hermes AWU3 popped up for sale locally at half off retail price (pristine condition with all packaging and even the receipt from Hermes), I felt like it was time to change out the AWU1 to this one (especially since Apple is already dropping watchOS updates for it). So far quite happy with the watch and the thinner bezels actually make the watchface look so much better! Also quite happy with the ScubH band that came with this watch!

If you look at the price of the ScubH band alone, you got kind of a free watch with it - congrats 🙂

So true! I was a little shocked looking at the retail price of the Scub’H given it’s essentially a Kilim with titanium hardware - and not even a deployment buckle… love the orange but don’t think I will pull the trigger for now. The only drawback of this purchase is that the watch is outside of the validity period to get AppleCare coverage and my country doesn’t have AppleCare One. I heard we can try to get coverage as long as it’s within the original 1 year manufacturer warranty though… will try my luck at an Apple Store soon!
