Depends if you want a classic look or something more fun.
I’d go for the orange as that’s more bold and colourful.
Gold is more elegant and suitable for work and formal functions. Orange pops and shows more of your personality if that makes sense.

I understand and ordered the orange. It's immediately out of stock, after my purchase, so I guess I purchased someone's cancellation. Now the gold is still available. It always has been.
Right now, I'm really wavering between these two colors. If I keep the orange single tour, what color do you suggest for the double tour? I'm choosing between Rouge H and gold.
As someone seasoned in purchasing Hermes Apple Watches, is Rouge H hard to come by? Is it more of a winter color? I figured since I have orange single tour, the double tour should be conservative in color. So I get a nice balance.
Rouge H is a seasonal colour that is unlikely to come back next season or when sold out.
Gold / Fauve is a staple and will likely stick around regardless of year of release. But there’s only an attelage double tour on sale this season unless you get the gourmett (which is very expensive).
If I was in the market for a double tour I’d get the rouge H
I am thinking about getting a Hermes AW 7 45. I upgrade every year and usually get SS or Titanium. Since this will be my first Hermes, I can’t decide to get SS 45 with Noir, Orange or Gold band. I don’t have anywhere close to try on.
If it shows on Hermes website does that mean it is in stock? I would prefer to use my military discount with Apple, but that is a long wait (Dec, except for the gold band) and I just sold my AW 6 Titanium.
For those, that sold just the Hermes watch (no bands) the following year, how much did you usually get? Thanks!

If it shows on Apple website it means it is in stock. Delivery times are now going into December, which means you probably have to act fast if you want your watch before Christmas.
Gold is always available. Gold is a very popular color because goes with a lot of clothing. And the Gold with white stitching is very classic Hermes.
Noir, I think, is too dark. Hermes is supposed to be happy and fun colors.
Funny your question surfaced because I originally ordered Orange Single Tour, then thought that orange would get too little use because it is hard to work into my wardrobe, so I switched to Gold. Then, just the last night, Rouge H Double Tour became available, so I quickly ordered it and cancelled the all previous orders. Double Tour in Rouge H is my dream combo. It is a beautiful burgundy/ brownish color, photos don't do it justice. I'm so glad I was able to snatch it.
Herms Apple Watches only come in silver stainless steel or space grey stainless steel. Silver is more popular and goes with more bands. So I would choose SSS if I were you.
Happy shopping.

I do trade in via Apple instead of selling. It’s less of a hassle and since I’m keeping the H bands anyway makes more sense
Agree less of a hassle, but if you are trading your Hermes AW to Apple, they only give $270 for the 2020 version - right?
Sadly, Apple values the Hermes watch piece the same as the standard edition stainless steel watch piece when it comes to trade in value.
I haven’t checked current trade in (am keeping my current version 6) but yes H version is valued same as Apple. The only difference is in the software (faces). If I remember correctly the brand new price difference is less than 10% if you factor out the strap prices. And I always keep the straps so am OK with not recouping any of the price difference by just trading in.Sadly, Apple values the Hermes watch piece the same as the standard edition stainless steel watch piece when it comes to trade in value.
Does Apple only take the watch case when trading in a Hermès? So you keep the leather bands? What about the charge cable and packaging?
Informative. This is the route I'll go for my future Hermes trade-in. My Hermes 7 is coming, meanwhile I'm scratching my head trying to figure out what to do with my Series 7 in gold aluminum. It's such a cute, pretty pinkish gold, I'd hate to part with it.
