Can anyone confirm whether the new watchos7 public beta has the new hermes interface? Would love it on my S4 hermes.

Hermes Circulaire shows up for me on OS7 on my S5.

I'm already missing force touch. I don't know WTF they were thinking.
 
Alright, had a few minutes to run through the OS7 faces. New:
- Hermes Circulaire. A few different colorways. The Noir is nice.
- Regular Hermes - new second hand color options - yellow/green/purple - to match the new single tour bands. Nice.

Cool, I can’t see why it wouldn’t be on the S4 too then. Excited for the update tomorrow!

I always thought they would eventually bring back force touch in the GM release. I actually use it quite a lot.

JK! Hope you enjoy it and hope to see you back in future releases. The new watch faces really do make it hard to justify the price Hermes premium over the SS watch. Plus graphite SS looks sick!

What is interesting is that the traditional Hermès faces were designed for square watches, while Apple doubled down on circular watch faces for the screen today. It’s over a $200 premium just for the watch faces vs buying the standard stainless steel plus an Hermès band (and the extra year of warranty).

Nice. Are the S5 faces still there? I will miss the Noir faces if I keep the S6 with the Rouge Piment band, but I like the band color.

Just realised the Noir single tour comes with the space black connectors 🤦🏻‍♂️
Cancelled that and got the green as well.
What’s your delivery date? Mine’s 28 Sept to 1 Oct.

You have to get the noir deployment buckle for the silver lugs.

Mine is sept 25-29th window
 
First time poster here ... as I purchased my first Hermès Apple Watch (S6/44mm/SBSS). Est. delivery: Sep 21-23.

I actually almost bought it in May; but then decided to roll the dice and hope Hermès would be around for S6. I lucked out!

FYI folks I'm not sure I made the right choice. Don't get me wrong I want an Hermès watch!!!

But I DID have the thought (even in May) of doing "Create Your Style" -- specifically, getting the silver SS, but with the black single tour band. REASON: I wanted the Orange Sport Band ALMOST AS MUCH as I want the SBSS chassis ... and Apple told me last May that the silver SS model ALWAYS comes with the Orange band. In the end I didn't want to wait the extra 3-5 days for delivery (OK I admit I'm spoiled!!!).

On a related note: if any of you know a way to get a LEGIT orange sport band (it appears both Apple and Hermès won't sell it separately), please let me know.

Trying to decide if I want to keep my S5 Hermes or part with it when I get the 6. I've never worn the leather band or sports band that came with it as I kept my 4 leather band and wore it.

Anyone have any idea what I should attempt to sell my 5 with the unworn bands with box and accessories?

Just saw a 44mm S5 Hermès with sport band only go for $780 on eBay. Probably could sell the leather band for $200. So I’d say $900-$980ish? $875 would be the lowest I’d take personally.

I just worry the rogue piment would look more pink than red?
Click to expand...
It should be the same shade of dark red like the rouge/blue rallye they released a few years ago.
Maybe the bambou green is too bold and loud for me? But it's not like I'm going out much these days anyway let alone wear a nice Hermes band for a special occasion...

eBay. If you don’t want to risk an unknown seller then look in Chargerstore’s listings. He/she is in China, but LOTS of us in the main band collecting thread in the accessories forum have bought from them and they are genuine. Expect to pay over $100 but shipping is free.

Series 6 now charges 20% faster and supports 5 GHz WiFi networks now according to 9to5Mac.

Might make sleep tracking more possible if you charge it while getting ready in the morning?

Got the Noir single tour SS. Sept 25-29. Had no idea it had black space connectors but I plan on selling the bands. I only wear the space black link band

Wow, those are material benefits and they didn’t bother to mention them in the keynote while we got told at least three times about the blood oxygen sensor. I wonder if it also supports Enterprise authentication so I could allow it onto my main home WiFi rather than the IoT one.

Other tidbits:

S6 is 1.5% lighter and 3.2% thinner(44mm SS vs 44mm SS). While these numbers are not drastic, I believe every previous Apple Watch has gotten thicker and heavier than the previous gen. With the S6, not only has apple added more features but they stopped the bulking up and actually managed to shave a little off.

Also, real world numbers of the 20% faster charging in the S6:

80% in 1 hour
100% in 1.5 hour

vs S5

80% in 1.5 hour
100% in 2.5 hour

edit: 44mm S6 Hermès bambou preparing for shipment as well. Sept 25-29 estimation. Could we see them earlier than the quoted dates? I can’t remember what happened with my S5 Hermès. Time to dig through my post history.

edit 2:
S5 Hermès 2019
  • Day 1 order
  • Day 7 preparing for shipment
  • Day 9 tracking number appeared in UPS my choice
  • Day 14 watch in hand
S6 Hermès 2020
  • Day 1 order
  • Day 2 preparing for shipment
  • ???

Order Listing - Apple.jpeg

Ordered both of these this afternoon, the aluminum to replace my S4 aluminum I use for workouts and running, and the Hermes to replace my S5 Hermes. Was torn with sticking with stainless steel again or changing to the space black, and I opted to stick with the former. It just has a more "classic" look to me though that space black sure is sexy and makes the watch faces so seamless.

My biggest fear would be the overall durability of the space black steel, in terms of scuffing and micro scratches snd scuffs etc.
