Just received my Series 9 Hermes with SBSS and Black Kilim Band.
Looks great! I wished the lugs were in space black so it can look like all blacked out and match everything.
Btw does your Hermes Apple Watch still have blood oxygen in? It does not get sold as quickly as the regular series 9 and as long it is no LW/A in part number you can use the blood oxygen feature.
Todays band is the red leather strap and the Meridian face.
Thanks, I thought that the SS lugs would bother me, but honestly it doesn’t, IMO it adds a bit to the overall look.
No blood oxygen sensor on mine, and it doesn’t bother me, I have 3 other watches that do have it, perhaps when Apple finally settles the complaint it might get enabled via an update. For me the Hermes is about the look and the faces, which I’ve yet to start exploring and especially the Hermes Bands, I’ve Accumulated 20 Hermes Bands in the last few months during a Band acquisition spree along with many Apple Bands as well, so looking forward to wearing and enjoying them. Pictures will be coming.
Rolex Submariner 124060 on my left wrist, Apple Watch Ultra 2 on the right 🤟🏻
Beautiful sub - Just can't get myself to double-wrist like that, so barely use my Explorer or Speedy as I like to keep track with the Apple Watch. If they made a Oura like ring for sleep and some days wearing my mechanical watches, that would be pretty great
You need just some days to adapt to double wrist 😜
Same I still use bands with space black /space gray lugs on my gold Apple Watch 😂 I don’t mind it, as I am still giving them life from my space gray to my gold stainless Apple Watches.
Even this light pink leather slim band is still great despite matted lugs here ~
Beautiful Rolex, as a former collector and admirer of mechanical watches, Rolex, omega, breitling, and Cartier I appreciate the beauty of the watches. But due to disabilities, I could no longer wear them as my left hand could no longer activate the self winding mechanism. I then got my first Apple Watch a series 8 aluminum and fell in love with it and that I can wear. Selling off some mechanical watches I now have a new hobby and today I own four Apple watches and approximately 100 bands.
Ha ha, I know - but still feels a bit wild. I know the mechanical watches are more for looks and feel than actual timing, but with two on the wrist it feels even more like it's just for show off.
For my point of view, my mechanical watch is for checking time and my AW is my smart computer on the wrist ☺️ not so much interested at the opinion of who see me doing this ✌🏻
Y’all remembered this weirdest Apple Watch band when you can put your existing regular watch on one side, and your Apple Watch on the other side? This is all the way back to its earliest days in 2015 when third party bands started getting created. Check it out: https://mashable.com/article/apple-watch-dual-band
First time to try on my new to me Noir/Bleu Saphir Single Jumping Tour
These are lit 🔥 bands! Hermes created these beautiful bands before Apple had to go full on carbon neutral and restrict to only silicone, nylons and textiles. Did you use this band on your previous Apple Watch models? This one matches very nicely.
What was going on with your Apple Watch Series 6? Glad you have a series 9 to use as backup.
I have a gold stainless one as well, S6 after my space gray series 1 felt like it was done after 7 years.
Its screen is getting dimmer. Took it to an Apple Repair center just to get a quote and they said it could be the SiP or the screen. We had $200 credit at T Mobile so she bought it for our anniversary. I may fix the SS 6 and sell it or keep it. Not sure yet. But she liked my watch so much we went and got her one this morning.
Is it regarding the always on display not being as bright as it is now, or screen burn in? My always on display is bright enough and I have the same series as your SS, just the gold version.
Which model Apple Watch series 9 did you get for her?
A rule of thumb: T-Mobile only sells aluminum models that are locked into their own carrier. They do not sell stainless steel models in their stores.
The screen will only get as bright as its lowest setting. The middle of the screen is darker than the sides. The tech said he has seen it a few times and it’s typically the screen.
I know stepping down to the aluminum frame is a downgrade in ways but we are both happy with it.
The wife got a pink one with the pink sport loop. She fought breast cancer this last year so she wanted to have something to symbolize her fight.
It’s the first time I’m wearing it,
I ordered my Hermes Watch in May, but didn’t receive it till August 1, so I spent those 2 months hunting down classic Hermes Bands from many different sources, based on many hours on the forums researching opinions and reviews on the Hermes Bands. Ended up with
5 single jumping tours
3 circuit H leather
2 H Diagonal leather
7 single tours leather
3 Kilim’s, and a couple more leathers for a total of 22 bands.
It was a fun but expensive experience.
As not all of the bands are suitable for the space black, I’ll wear them with my Series 9 SS with a Hermes face, downloaded

Storm Blue Combo. Pictured is the matching Sport Band and iPhone 15 Pro silicone cases in daylight.
Watch is a Series 6 Titanium still going strong. We shall see if Series X finally gives a good reason to upgrade.
