Hermes Apple watch

I've been trying to decide for a couple weeks on getting either a bag or an Hermes AW, and I've decided on the watch! But of course there's a catch... I really would like the 41mm Etoupe single tour (I have an Etoupe notebook and absolutely love it), but they don't have that combo on apple.com... but they do on hermes.com. On one hand I would like to buy from Hermes, BUT I read that returning would be a pain in case I need to. Apple is great with returns and customer service. Also I've read that if you lose your Hermes sports band, you can contact Apple to replace it (for $49, the price of the regular sport bands). I'm not sure if they would do that if I bought it from Hermes?

Either way, now I'm double thinking the Etoupe color, and thinking about going with the classic gold. But... I'm not super excited about it, but I'm afraid to be bolder with the other beautiful colors. I kind of want to start out with a neutral... I wish they had a soft cream (blanc is too white for me, black is too heavy). Does anyone else have the Etoupe, or what are your thoughts about it?

The new bands released last week seem quite subdued and a bit boring…

They also updated their AirTag range. Wish this Beton came in a single tour. Would’ve been instant buy for me.

I fell in love with that Hermes Airtag and bought it last week! I was planning on getting an airtag for my keys anyway, and I was looking for a nice keychain so I would stop losing my keys in my bag... and voila, it was perfect. I also wish they had this in the single tour!

If the combo is possible. I recommend Circuit 24 band with your AW. The Biscuit color is divine with a pop of pattern. Besides, I don't think the Circuit 24 collection is available anymore on Apple. They have been sold out or pulled from Apple website.

I ended up buying it from Apple, and decided to get gold (I have a pair of Hermes flats in gold, so I know the color at least!), and I'll buy the Etoupe band from Hermes directly later. But I really like the gold more than I thought! Such a nice classic neutral. I was thinking about the color too similar to Fauve, which is also beautiful, but a little too dark / textured for my every day.

41 or the 45 are your options. I picked the 41 because I'm also Cartier size 16 or even 15. As to going bigger screen I get you, but the 45 will be too big size wise on your wrist so I recommend the 41. Besides in the 7, the screen is pushed all the way to the sides, so you get bigger real estate for your eyes.

Also, in the 41, do try out the new Hermes Double Tour. These leather bands run extremely small. So this time around I'm able to find bands that work beautifully on me.

PS: 45 does not have double tour leather strap options.

Here's mine.

It's lovely on you. Yes, an AW can look lovely, especially with a nice stack.
I never paid any attention to the red double tour, but they way you wear it, makes me want to get one too!
 
Ladies! I just got my very first Apple Watch - series 7. It was a gift and not the Hermes version unfortunately. I would like to get a single or double tour strap to wear with it but my local has neither for me to see in person or try on.

which did you go for and what are your thoughts?? If you got DT do you fine the double loop annoying? As I don’t wear a watch I’m worried it will annoy me but damn it is stunning! I have the 41mm case and love the gold strap the most.

really not sure which one to get?! Pls help!

Definitely get the Double Tour. It's my personal favorite. Especially on smaller wrists. In fact, it makes the Apple Watch look the most "Hermes" or Cape Cod. Very elegant and delicate look.

I own the DT in Rouge H and Gold. They are both beautiful.
PS: if you want the DT in Gold, it's currently unavailable so you might have to cyber stalk it for restocking. Otherwise I think the Rouge de Coeur is very sexy too. :heart:

I’d get the double tour if I were you. I got the single and within a week I had to use the innermost hole, and I am NOT tiny (hell I was 34 weeks pregnant even at the time). The “it’s too tight” comments had scared me off of the double tour even though it looked gorgeous at the store.

The good thing is, Hermes bands are relatively cheap, I think like $360 or something for the single tour? If the double really annoys you, you can add a single.

I have several each of single, double, and double attelage. The singles and double attelages get the most wear. I find the double to be very wide and almost always the crown gets pressed when I bend my wrist.
