Hermes Apple watch

I just got the email that my local boutique is open by appointment only. At least I know when the new watch comes out, I’ll be able to buy from my local store again rather than Apple. I suspect it will be out in just a few more months... right?
 
I adore my Apple Watch and all the functions, I feel like Agent 99 when I can answer the phone, however at the end of the day I cant wIt to take it off as it’s so heavy. For this reason I don’t think I’ll upgrade.:sad:

Are you planning on buying the S6 Hermes if it gets released next month?

I love the Hermes faces and leather bands but working from home most of the time these days and not attending a lot of social functions, my beautiful H leather bands are just sitting in a storage box. I also mostly use the infograph face for activity tracking. The resale value is also quite low and being a luxury item I'm not sure if I will be able to sell my Noir S5 this year...

I like the option of having the Hermes faces to use when I want to but I'm not sure if I'll get the S6 Hermes this year. Maybe just the standard stainless steel or titanium or whatever new watch case material they're releasing.

I’m coming up on a year with my S5 (first AW); I love it! I am hoping for a new band out of S6 release, but unless the new watch includes some amazing features that won’t be available to me with OS7, I probably won’t upgrade to AW6.

I’m hoping for a navy or charcoal ST band option this Fall!!

YIPPEE!!!

I've ordered the navy ST band I was hoping for.

I would have ordered the Bambou, too, if it were available in 40mm. Such a pretty color:

I do like the new, thinner version of the DT band as well. If they offer it in etoupe in the future I will probably purchase that in lieu of my existing etoupe DT:

Also very cool that the Hermes face will be available with some complications once OS7 drops!

I'm not buying a new watch this time. The only unique feature, as best I can tell, is the built-in pulse oximeter.

Apart from the Hermes edition, I was excited to learn about the new Fitness Plus subscription for AW later this year. I already pay monthly streaming fees for a yoga instructor and a strength training program; it will be great if I can consolidate those to a single service, especially since it integrates with the Fitness app and I won't have to remember to start my workouts in the watch in order to get "credit" for them.

I'm disappointed they didn't release the Bambou in 40mm too. I'm eyeing the new DT, but I have the SBSS version and kind of wonder if it'd just clash too much.

Yeah... I see your point about the SBSS. Fingers crossed the Attelage will be popular enough, they'll add more colors. I think they could sell plenty of black, etoupe and other "basic" colors if offered.

I would probably wear a DT band more often with the Attelage style. I like the DT bands I have, but they skew more casual to my eye than a classic, ST band. I usually wear them on weekends only, not that it matters anymore. I just think the dainty Attelage style looks so crisp and professional, I guess a bit more feminine?
 
I was hoping for a gold case this year. I skipped out on upgrading last year because it wasn’t much of an upgrade but was hoping to finally get it in gold. Alas it was not meant to be but I can still go for the all black that I missed out on the previous year. I dislike the new thin band it just doesn’t appeal to me. The technology upgrade this year is hard to pass up though. The biggest benefit is of course the blood ox sensor which would be extremely helpful if I contracted Covid. Knowing that I could leave it on and allow it to monitor me is tempting! How do you all feel about the new upgrade?
