Hi

I am considering a Hermès edition for my next AW. However, I can have skin rashes with leather bands (unpredictable). Are their other bands that will work? Is it still worth considering?
 
Hermès AW use the same band fixation than any other Apple Watch. It should be compatible with any band designed for Apple Watch (be careful to take the good dimension 40 mm vs 44mm).

The only thing that would really differentiate your Hermès Apple Watch would be the exclusive watch faces. If you want a similar finish and don’t care at the Hermès brand, you can look at Apple Watch Edition, it’s less expensive and have the same stainless steel option (no exclusive watch faces that said)
 
In my opinion, it would not be worth the extra cost.
Thanks Robert. I like my Silver SS with SS Milanese loop. Very comfortable. Wondering about the Titanium? They are not making ceramic. Looking for something different next Season.

I don't have any personal experience with Titanium. However, many forum members owners have been happy with the meta finish and durability. That might be a good route to explore.

Silver? SB?

The Titanium comes in SB and Titanium ... you can search here or in the watch accessories "every band apple released ..." threads for pics, I'm sure there are plenty ... but, imho, I'd go to an apple store and take a look in person
 
I have a Space Black Titanium S6 and my wife has a Space Black Hermes S6. The Hermes does have “Hermes” etched on the underside of the Watch but other than that and some exclusive Watch faces, it’s the same as the stainless steel version. However, you can’t get the S6 stainless in space black anymore. Only the Hermes comes in space black, otherwise it’s graphite, gold or silver on the standard stainless.

For Hermes, you’re paying the premium mainly for the leather (band) so ditching the bands would pretty much remove the Hermesness. Proof of that is the Hermes Air Tag holders. The Hermes bands do fetch a good resale.

The Titanium comes in Space black which is DLC and natural Titanium color closer to a gray champagne. My Space Black is very durable and not prone to scratching at all.
