No More Hermes Apple Watch?

I'm traveling at the moment and was planning on picking up a particular Hermes band in Singapore. When I went to add to cart, it said unavailable. Looking through the menu, Apple watch is no longer there, and searching for the word Apple turns up nothing.

Same thing for the Hermes Canada store... No Apple watch in the menu. A few days ago there were tons of options, even some that are hard to get elsewhere.

Also seems to be the case for the Hermes US website.

Could this mean the Apple Hermes partnership is coming to an end?

I think it has more to do with the fact that the watches will be updated tomorrow and available to order soon so stock has run out or they've taken them down.

Yeah, Apple is trying to do two things. Sell out of last year’s stock and prevent a flood of cancelled orders/returns.

That being said, the Apple Online Store is still offering the Series 7 Apple Watch Hermès for sale. And John Gruber noted that Apple and Hermès have both done well with their partnership so he does not believe that the two will end their partnership.

Apple just showed off the Apple Watch 8 Hermès models and bands today so it's continuing.
