I see the bands are different and from reading posts assume there are Hermes faces only. What else am I missing? There is a leap to go Hermes financially but what do you get for that leap? Tia terry
 
I've gone U3 Hermes this time as it was a toss up between keeping my U2 & upgrading my S7 Hermes to an 11 or keeping my S7 and upgrading the U2. Best of both worlds for me if I get the U3 Hermes, as I get the faces on both watches and straps. It is a premium on the standard, but if you are going to keep it for a few years (my S7 is now 4 years old) it may be worth it to some.
 
The Hermes band and Hermes screen is the only difference. In my opinion, the Hermes looks nice but, it is very overpriced for the meager offering.
Yeah I do feel the S11 Hermes is slightly better 'value' (lol I use the word lightly) as you get a shiny exclusive Titanium case, strap and extra warranty. With the U3, you get just the faces, strap and warranty. Visually the watch is the same.
 
I pre ordered my U3 this morning and I just couldn’t justify it. It’s $500+ more just to say I have a Hermes. I do like the bands a lot more, it’s just not worth the extra $500+ to me.

So the exterior color of the U3 and Hermes U3 are the same? The Hermes U3 isn't more shiny? Supposedly, the Hermes S11 is more shiny than the S11.
 
I like the new bands a lot, but not more than the Ultra 3 with the Ti mesh, especially not for that extra cost. Maybe if it came with a polished case, I would consider it over the regular ultra 3.
