I think all bands should come in both sizes - I suspect it is because H and other luxury houses still seem to draw a “hard” gender differential in many of their items. I don’t like that on several levels! I just happened to luck out with the black because it’s exactly what I wanted. I suspect that will be slow to change. Anyone should be able to choose any item they wish - not have that decision made for them. Oh well, if it changes I suspect it will be very slow. Sorry you can’t get what you want - that happened to me two watches ago. And it’s frustrating isn’t it!!
That’s strange the stainless doesn’t show on 9/20. They show as available to ship, but no Apple Watch available anywhere until 9/20. I couldn’t select pick up in store. I always worry about missing the delivery at home. But I will figure it out.
Be tempted! Here’s some enabling zzzman
I’m only keeping my 4 because the trade on the H 4 is $110. Then I can choose stainless or black.Be tempted! Here’s some enabling zzzman
Have you been keeping all the different series of Hermès Apple Watch?
I’ve had the S3 and S4 Hermès but always sell the old one to get the new one.
Found some hands on pics

Can't wait to get the new watch! Waiting to confirm when they will hit the H store (supposedly also release day, 9/20?)
Thanks for the pics!! No, I traded my S3 for my S4. I may end up trading at some point, but I think I will like having a stainless case and a black one. I will give it a try anyway.
I couldn’t help myself and ordered the SBSS Hermès. It looks very classy in the pics. Thanks for the encouragement haha.
Not sure if it has been posted before, but just a quick FYI....
The 38/40 Hermes Bands work on the 42/44 Faces just fine and vise versa. I had a 38mm Hermes Series 2 Watch and upgraded to the 4, but wanted to try the 44mm. (I was “on the fence” due to the amount of bands I had for the 38mm). After I received the 4, I tried my Bands and all worked fine. No issues with the ends sliding, they lock perfectly.

Yay - I bet you will love it! Classy, clean lines, the H face on all the time, and all the Apple Watch things we love. Post pics when you get it! I wasn’t even planning to get the 5, but like you couldn’t help myself.
I just went on both the Apple and Hermes websites to check out the new band options. Only Apple is showing a Noir Swift band to purchase as a stand-alone band. I also really like the Brique/Beton bands. I've always preferred a single tour, but this one looks really good as a double. I worry that it may annoy me though, and I don't have particularly small wrists, either.
Hodinkee writeup of the Series 5. Lots of high quality photos of the Hermès S5 and other watch cases and straps.

I went a little crazy.
From Apple, I ordered the 40mm stainless steel (LOVE the look of black/black with a black strap, though) with the single tour black strap. Delivery date is projected 9/26-10/01.
From Hermes, I ordered the double tour strap in etoupe. No delivery date projected, but my receipt says they expect to start shipping on launch date (9/20).
I was very tempted by the black/black version; it's so pretty! But since I plan on switching back and forth between the two straps (and probably more, in the future), I thought the stainless steel case would be more versatile.
So excited; I've been waiting months for the 5 series to commit to an Apple Watch. I've been waffling for a couple of years whether or not I want to wear a smart watch. Seems both Apple and Hermes sell out of the straps quickly, so I'm crossing my fingers I like both that I ordered.

Oh that’s a pleasant surprise! I’ve got 38 and thinking of getting a 44 this time but not sure what to do with my old H straps! Could you post some photos? Thanks
How exciting - you’ve been waiting so long and now you have one on its way (soonish anyway)! Your picks sound cool, I waffled on a smart watch too, but after a year after Apple’s first, I got one and I find it to be extremely helpful in my health and working out endeavors, and just quick glances when I’m away from my phone. I forgot it yesterday morning on my walk with my dog, and I felt completely discombobulated! So I hope you love it and enjoy it.
Thanks for the link! Liked the write up and pics. I have to say the white ceramic is beyond cool! However, the budget for new Apple Watch has been blown with the so black. But fun to see actual photos.
