I currently have a series 6 SS. Looking at getting the series 7. Love the new watch face with the numbers around the edge. I’m considering the Hermes SS. Does anyone know if the new watch face I like is available if I go with the Hermes watch?

Yes, absolutely! Hermès Watches have all „regular“ watch faces plus the exclusive Hèrmes ones.

I’m fairly certain the new “Contour” watch face is available on all Series 7 models. 👍🏻
 
I have the new Hermes SS series 7 on the way! WooHoo!!
Congrats! That’s awesome!
What’s the delivery time look like for you? Here in Canada I believe it’s still looking like about a month for delivery for Hermes or Ti Editions.
I got my Natural Ti preorder in within the first minute they could be ordered and delivery was still a 2 week wait past launch date. Stupid COVID causing component shortages messing up the supply chains…..
Now if Spotify would finally give us the lossless tier they promised this spring….. my buyers remorse for purchasing the 512gb 13 pro might finally subside. Lol

Delivery date is mid-December so not too bad. I have several Hermes bands but this will be my first Hermes watch so I am excited about that. I think the titanium looks amazing! The wait for your watch will be worth it when it gets there…coming from a person who is not very patient! 😂
 
Is that the starlight in the top photo, on your arm? It looks so…rosy. I like it.
I will usually correct the photos to make the band accurate but yes I’m finding it more rosy than I expected as well.

At first I thought it was because I was wearing a purple shirt but I’m not wearing it for that photo and honestly I think the blue/green nature of the band leaves the photo slightly cooler than reality. Starlight just makes me so happy.

Here’s the original, overcast day too:

Lol. I hear you, I’m not very patient either!
Mine showed up a while back as I ordered it when the presale went live. Of all the apple watch fits and finishes I’ve had yearly since 2015…. this natural Ti is by far my favourite. If they would have offered a ceramic model this year I may have went that route as I’ve never had one of those either.

Sounds like it was worth the wait! I was kind of hoping for a ceramic model, too, with the series 7. Maybe with the 8?
 
My first leather band ever! I didn’t expect to feel so comfy! Got the M/L for the 40/41 mm and it adjusts precisely to my wrist diameter (16.5 cm) no looseness or need to adjust it during the day so far. This is Golden Brown. I’d like one of the darker tones later on. Maybe Cherry or Sequoia for Xmas 🎅🏼

Depending on lighting conditions, Starlight can take on quite a few different shades, apparently:

Yeah I don‘t see blush until some bright natural light hits it.

And did they make the anodization better with the series 4? My first aluminum watch since S3. I def remember a presenter on stage remarking that the new Space Gray was different, but maybe it was just a color tweak. This just feels more sparkly.

More sparkly would be a big step in the right direction! I always admired the lighter weight of the aluminium Watches, but found the finish just too dull, especially on the lighter colours.
 
I finally caved and purchased the sunset leather loop from Chargie…. new in packaging. He was kind to me and accepted my first offer. Been buying bands from him for years.
Right now I have black (gen 2), storm gray, white, bright blue, peacock, forest green, saddle brown, smoke gray and now sunset…
I have enough room in the case that holds my leather loops for one more band. Ive narrowed it down too Cape Cod Blue or Meyer Lemon….. I can’t decide. Meyer lemon is in stock now….. but may have a long wait (if ever) if I want Cape Cod Blue. 😣 The one empty spot in the case will drive me nuts…… damn my OCD!

If you’re going to be spendy, Cornflower is a bit more exciting than Cape Cod. Cape Cod is definitely easier to find and more affordable but Cornflower has become less hard to find over time.

But yes you definitely need Meyer.

Hmmmmm…. Looks like Chargie has Cornflower in stock as well. On the Bandbreite app they don’t look all that different. Do you have both Cornflower and Cape Cod? What are the chances of a real world comparison pic if you do? 😉
 
Yes, if you can vibe with the purple, you get a more vibrant band out of the deal.
I may have to nab the Cornflower and the Meyer Lemon….. I think I’m going to need a bigger watch band case… lol
Thanks for posting the pics…. appreciate it!
