Yes, but then again the prices are general higher en Denmark, so relatively the same. I see there is the same difference now with S5 now, but as I recalled I checked the US site with S4 at the time at didn't find that difference then. Regarding warrenty, it doesn't mean much. Only Apple sold Hermes in Denmark, and even if you bought a base GPS model from them, they must offer 2years warrenty.
Got a tip for us?

Can't buy Edition Apple Watch Series 5

Very simple.
There is a factory guaranty and there is a legal warranty.
Factory warranty like Apple Care is a service provided by the maker.
legal warranty is regulated by law, the minimum will be 2 years (in the Netherlands sometimes more) where the first 6 month the salesperson has to proof the default wasn’t a product fault, after that it’s the buyer.
But within those minimum of two years you have the warranty that a default will be repaired, after that you have to pay full price.
The warranty provided by the place you bought it from, not the maker like I said before.
It’s two years and the time you ore the seller have to proof who is responsible for the defect is important but it’s still two years.
Like i said before buy something at like Apple.com, Apple.de, Apple.nl or in an Apple Store they have to provide the warranty and you can get the warranty for two years.
Ok, so we agree that the "factory warranty" and the "legal warranty" are materially different? Because the latter may be "2 years" on paper, but in reality you will have a very hard time to prove after, say, 7 months, that the unit was already defective when you bought it. If you have the former, you don't have to prove anything. Which means, in the context of this thread, that it is indeed an added value to have 2 years "factory warranty" instead of 1 if you get an Hermes or Edition Watch.
Yea I've thought about that solution as well - buying the S5 and black Hermés strap seperately, but for some reason even the Hermés straps aren't sold in the Apple Store in Denmark any longer (disappeared after the keynote)
Did it ever show up for you after the launch? These are the bands showing up on the US site. There is someone who is thinking about selling their S4 Hermes in the Marketplace here on MR https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/series-4-hermès-apple-watch.2198326/
Just wanted to chime in here as I've been looking for the Watch Edition as well in Denmark. As far as I can tell, it's *still* not available. Very strange!
I'm in Ireland and the Edition is not sold here. I want to buy the Titanium. Any idea how I can buy one?
Are you indicating you don’t have any external resources where you can purchase one outside Ireland? Is there is some type of ‘Purchased good’ clause or something prohibiting from making an outside purchase with the ceramic or titanium? (I’m from North America, so I don’t understand how it works in the EU.)
Well I've searched Amazon and eBay for Titanium and don't see them. With Apple store I must choose Ireland for delivery (unless someone knows different). I could travel to Belfast in Northern Ireland but they had only the SS. I'd welcome any ideas I have not thought of.
@BenAigen is a forum member from Ireland. Maybe he would have some ideas on how to find the model that you’re looking for, being you’re from the same country he is.
I totally agree, but not every choice in your life has to be based on logic. Then I would be driving around in a dirt cheap car with 200k miles on the meter, since both cheap cars and expensive cars perform the same basic task: getting me from A to B
And logic is just evaluating things in a way that you feel an emotion of righteousness that encourages you to proceed, right?
