Is it washable? I’ve got the orange coming and thinking of getting the Gris maybe too. I wonder what the Scuba bands are like.
I ordered the scuba band with the Ultra 3 to change it up. I’m assuming it’s similar material (rubber) to the Kilim but without the deployment buckle. Reminds me of the Fauve Rallye band which was a favorite of mine.

Is the Faubourg Party watch face available on the Ultra?

So it sounds like the only Hermes face ticking hands on the Ultra is the Radial.

I also noted no additional Hermes Sport band with the Ultra.

Still going to keep it as I love the Ultra, but sounds like the S11 is the better value.

I ordered 2 of the scuba bands the white and the Gris. Wanted to see what they look like.
Can’t wait to see them in a real person’s watch as I am tempted by them.

Absolutely crazy that the Circular Hermes watch face does not have face ticking hands. That is my favorite watch face. So, if you get the AW Hermes Ultra, there really is no benefit, except for the Hermes band, a couple Hermes watch faces compared to the AW Hermes S11 that also comes with an extra band and more watch faces.

Too bad, as prefer the longer better in the Ultra. Love that Hermes Circular face though. 🙂
 
The "colored complications" version came with watchOS 26. You could color the hands to match the band before but now the complications get some color as well
Ahh makes sense. I remember when i had the Hermes S8 you could colour the hands only.

So sadly it looks like the coloured complications is ultra only then. I might just send the S11 back and contemplate an Ultra 3. There's still some for pickup in a couple of places.

For context - I had a S8 hermes (H Diagonal and Kilim straps), skipped the S9, got a S10 non hermes, and now want the Grand H so i ordered the S11 with Grand H (Wanted hermes face to go with the H).

In the marketing materials, „Circulaire Ultra“ (or whatever one may call it) with the colourful complications is the de facto „new“ face for the Hermès U3; kinda lazy, but it is better than the regular Circulaire.

Edit: btw, how many colours are there for the corners? All the usual Hermès colours?
 
Nope, no AOD second hand in Hermès, Hermès Circulaire, Hermès Lucky Horse, or Hermès Circuit in watchOS 26 RC on S10. Only Hermès Radial and Faubourg Party.
Faubourg Party on S9 has no second hand at all! I was reluctant to upgrade to S11 given my S9 works fine, but decided to go for it, since the next major design update wil probably S13 and I don't think I can wait that long and I wanted to buy the FB strap anyway. I guess this will make my S11 worth it now, lol. (I preemtively got the S9 out of concern that Apple was going to go to magnetic bands on S10. Oh well.)

I'm Hermes S7, so I won't ge t second hand as well. But I don't need a second hand. Preferably I would like to upgrade next year. What design change are you referring to?

I think that’s good, a better design than having a seconds. Seconds hand distracts from the look.

I wouldn’t even want it on a mechanical watch, but the benefit of having a seconds on a mechanical is that a quick glance tells you it’s running

Just thought I'd pop this here. Getting excited for my U3 Hermes on Friday!

Miss my U2 so much (I sent it off to Apple Trade in 3 weeks ago to maximize the trade in value). Using my S7 Hermes as my daily driver atm, with a bit of jet black alu S10 thrown in.

Really can't wait to get back to 2 days + battery life and interested to see how those lovely Hermes faces look on the bigger watch.

3 ¾ days to wait :)
