I don’t have photos, but I at one time had a 42, and decided the 38 fit and looked better. To my surprise the 42 barenia DT strap I had “fit” my 38 and now my 40. The ends stick out a tiny bit, but unless someone is scrutinizing my wrist from about 6 inches away you can’t tell. I didn’t want to lose the options of the prior H straps, so I’m glad they work still. I prefer the right size strap of course, but I love my barenia! Because these things lock with the magnet, that seems to allow options.

For anyone looking for DT so black 40, it is currently unavailable on Apple’s website. It appears they sold all they had in 24 hours. As I recall last year this happened too with some of the DT, but they did show up again periodically, however not many at a time, so jumping fast when you see helps. Hopefully those of you looking for one can get directly at H or selected Apple stores on 9/20. Can’t wait to see everyone’s goodies on 9/20!
I’m picking mine up 9am Australian time so should get it before most of EU and US.
I’m intrigued by what Apple claims as limited edition packaging. Maybe it’ll come in a completely black box?
How exciting! You can be our point person. I’m am wondering too but betting at least some of the packaging with be all black. Can’t wait til. Next Friday!
I ended up Returning the 44mm to Hermes getting the 40mm. Unfortunately I didn’t think to take photos. But I had googled it when I was thinking about going to the 44mm and there are lots of videos out there showing it.
I’m in the exact same boat. I wish there was something, a must-have feature or new band or new form factor, to make the decision easy for me to upgrade from my Hermes Series 4 but right now I’m leaning toward not upgrading this cycle. The limited edition SO Black package is the only thing pushing me but I worry that it may look too masculine now that I’m so used to the SS coloring.
I'm not upgrading yet. I did buy a black swift band (and will likely buy one of the others) but I am always concerned that the next upgrade will be the one that breaks the mold somehow and I wouldn't want to miss out on that.
It’s a pain isn’t it? We do this math every year.
I don’t think the SO Black looks either masculine or severe! I think it looks classy and elegant, but of course personal preference and opinions for each of us. The one must have for me is having the face always on - that way the watch isn’t just a slab of empty glass anymore. I think if that hadn’t been added I might have passed.
Of course to each their own - too bad we don’t have future intel isn’t it? If we knew they were going to do a round face next year or some other must have it would make decisions easier. But based on the band connectors I’m guessing our current bands would still work in a round face.
I cannot wait til next Friday! I keep checking order status and it still says processing. But last year it took awhile to change status as none will get delivered before the 20th.
The always on feature is also what’s piqued my interest to get one and the all black is so sleek. Having said that, my enthusiasm with the AW isn’t as great as before. I have worn mine exclusively since I got the H series 3, even in suits, and ignored my other “normal” watches, but lately I’m kinda missing them. So I’m thinking of sitting this one out and wear my other watches a bit and see if I’d miss the functionality of my AW
I’m with you. I’m not upgrading this year either. There isn’t enough new features to spend that much every year!,
Now we can admire the beautiful Hermès watch faces even when it’s not on!
Totally worth buying, for me personally!
Someone in the macrumors thread said that the latest watchOS 6 they installed does not contain the black face...
