The reason they did that for the Hermès face, was likely just to make it more of a ‘general exclusive attraction’ to that specific watch. Otherwise the only other main feature with the Hermes Apple Watch, is you get a really expensive leather band in a fancy box, that’s it. It’s for a very niche demographic that be willing to pay that price point for smart watch that has limited support. The Hermes Model probably doesn’t accrue much in net sales overall for the Apple Watch for the price alone.

What? Seriously, I have no idea what you were trying to equate the Fossil watch's lag to, but in any case this is wrong because the Gen 5 uses the newest and fastest Snapdragon chipset, effectively shutting down your criticism.
