When I set it up I will upload. Here is the 42mm in Fauve Barenia that I took from the store.

Even though I couldn't get a cuff version, I was able to try it on.
I thought it would be wider and bigger. I have very thin wrists, so I was curious if I would be able to wear it with a dress shirt. I think it is certainly doable. But definitely not with slim shirts.

Don't like that look at all.Even though I couldn't get a cuff version, I was able to try it on.

I agree. I don't think the cuff compliments the lines of the watch very well at all.
Here is the 42mm with Noir band with the Hermes watch face on.
Complications are one of the main reasons I love my Apple Watch so much. This watch face removed that feature all together. Not sure that I understand this watch face. I guess it's mainly just for fashion, but why would you get a smart watch just purely for fashion?
Just some initial impressions: The packaging is spot-on and even the texture of the Apple Watch Hermes box feels like the standard Hermes box. The white plastic case that holds the watch has the Apple Watch Hermes logo imprinted on the top and on the inside felt.
The leather band makes a big difference with how the watch looks to me, particularly compared to the standard Apple leather band. The width of the band, the buckle, and of course the leather and stitching are all top notch to allow Hermes' leather expertise really shine. Combined with the watch face I can see this being a great product for those wanted to have the best of both brands in one product.

I generally agree, but it's a beautiful face - and the same information gleaned from complications can be a swipe or two away with Glances. Doesn't "dumb" down the smarts of the watch at all, really.
You still get notifications, apps, etc. You can also switch to any of the other watch faces.
Really no different from some of Apple's stock digital faces that do not allow for complications, and Hermes AW owners aren't obligated to use the Hermes face.
I often switch from a face with lots of complications to a face that is uncluttered, depending on my mood. Everything is still easily accessible via Glances and whatnot.
Yeah, maybe. I just mean that getting a nice, worn-in patina on a Hermes strap is desirable, and I wonder if, a year down the road, people will start to complain that their fancy new leather strap is "wearing out" or whatever.
Yeah just don't know why people are falling over the face. I love the single tour band, but the watch face is nothing to write home about.
I think people like it, because it uses more of the edges of the OLED screen, rather than a small circle in the center, like the other analog looking watch faces. I wouldn't mind one squared off, analog looking complication as an option, whether it says Hermes or not, but it isn't too big of a deal, to me.
It's actually the most elegant face available on the AW. Apple's stock analog faces are poorly proportioned, as manufacturers of luxury rectangular watches tend to use a rectangular dial that follows the perimeter. I'd actually like to see Apple release more elegant stock faces with a rectangular dial and the complications located inside the dial.
However, the Hermes face isn't the only reason nor it's even a reason for getting a Hermes AW.
Well the part of your post about it being the most elegant is solely your opinion. I love some of the stock ones, and plenty of people give me compliments about it. I am not saying the Hermes is ugly, but it's not the greatest thing Apple has done with the Apple Watch. I think the leather Hermes bands are 100 times better and look amazing.
