I could be wrong but i swear we have the same “apple is dropping Hermes” posts every year during this time before new product launches.

I was hoping someone who follows this longer then me would say this. I didn’t find too much about it though. Thanks for sharing!

I bought my Hermes Apple Watch from apple.com and received it next day…great service! I also bought a couple watch bands a month later, same the thing…next day delivery. I hope Apple doesn’t drop the Hermes brand!

Agree! Apple and Hermes are my favorite brands. Match made in heaven :)

Hi everyone, sorry for my English, I’m Italian ;) If I remember correctly, every year Hermès products are in stock for a short amount of months in the beginning of the year and then  sends them directly to customers ;)
I’m an  employee and what I know is just my personal experience as a customer here in Italy, so for example in early 2023 we had some watches from February to May-June available to buy directly from the store as you could see from the website or app itself, but now they are just available online, and even if we don’t know a thing about future releases, I strongly doubt (and don’t hope) that Apple and Hermès are splitting! I remember the same scheme since the first release in 2015, and every year I’m here waiting for the next Hermès news!
I hope this partnership lasts as long as possible
I also bought the AirPods Case in July and it is magic, it can be also used with the MagSafe charger!!! ❤️
I hope this can be useful fingers crossed ☺️
 
Currently all Apple Watch Hermes versions are out of stock at Apple directly. Have you seen this in the past before? They are readily available in Hermes boutiques and online though.

Wondering if this is normal or a sign that Apple indeed ends the partnership with Hermes.

All other Hermes accessories are sold out at Apple.com too, apparently.
Hi!
The Hermes  Watch is currently available when I looked on the Apple store app just now. I bought my first one via the app and if I remember correctly, it was delivered either overnight (or maybe it arrived in two days?) which was nice. Now I just order them from Hermes directly and pick them up in the boutique. And I really, really hope they never end their partnership!

Hope new faces and straps. And functionality
Rumors are that there is little to no functionality change for Apple Watch 9. The next watch after this, series ten, is supposedly going to get a huge push as Apple Watch X with a full size/shape/form factor overhaul and will make previous straps incompatible. For that reason, I am selfishly hoping there are no bands this time that I like and that I would be tempted to buy, with only a one year use life. :lol:

I heard the same. But since I didn’t upgrade last year, I plan to buy one this year so all my current H straps will last longer!! And then I would have the last one that fits earlier straps, and I can keep it and upgrade next year if it is that “wow” Along with keeping the 9. I tidied my jewelry recently and found some older H bands and have been enjoying them :P

I doubt that when new models come they will change the connectors. People have made _significant_ investments in straps and a huge backlash would follow. Also Apple obviously put major design thought into it to begin with (which is one of their selling points for the H collaboration. )

Me too! I haven't upgraded in three years so plan to do so this year and to buy another strap or two to round out my collection.

What worries me is that Apple is moving away from leather products more and more. Rumor has it there won't be any new leather iPhone cases this year. I really hope they won't split with Hermès any time soon. :pray:

I hope you are right! But Apple over the years has decided to change connectors, chargers and many things that rendered older pieces defunct, sparked a huge backlash, and then people moved on. It seems the only way they get any additional room in their watches for function upgrade now is at the connector spots. My guess is if they do it they will give us warning but it wouldn’t surprise me. At this point I have plenty of H bands, and don’t mind keeping the 9 if that’s what fits. Either way still looking forward to 9/12.
 
Rumours on overdrive about iPhone leather cases being replaced by FineWoven cases.

Now this new rumour - Is Apple Watch Hermès leather ending?
It’ll be the end of an era if the Apple Watch Hermès leather bands are discontinued. The nylon ones just don’t have the same appeal.
