Are most of you purchasing the 40 or 44 size? I can’t decide!
It on if you want single tour or double tour
I have a question for you lucky series 4 hermes watch owners.

Did you restore your 4 from a backup of your prior Apple Watch, and if so did it give you the new color block faces?
Or do you have to set it up as a new watch? I don’t want to lose all my data, but I want those cool new faces!

I’m of course sitting around perseverating on things like this as I have to wait three more weeks for my series 4. Any help greatly appreciated, everyone’s so helpful here. TIA
I backed up from my last watch and had no problem with getting the new faces.

The watch faces are part of the Operating System (OS) and completely independent of your personal data.

No problem. Just back up your watch and then restore from back up. Be sure to keep your cellular plan.
 
To HKsai, acrowcounted and Marionpasadena many thanks for answering my backup/new faces question. So glad it works that way, figured it had to but always like confirmation. Now if they would just hurry up and ship! Still have 10/23 to 10/30 estimated shipping date.

For now I’m just enjoying all your posts! Thanks again.

The Hermès seem to be very popular this year. Stock has run out pretty quickly since launch.

But Apple using overestimate delivery times and ship sooner than promised. So I hope you get yours soon!

This is true. I bought the pink single tour strap from apple because my SA said they wouldn’t get it. It was back ordered until October 23-30. It arrived to my house last week. (This should be a good thing but is actually an annoyance for me as I liked the backorder timeline in order to give my SA time to come through for me. Of course my SA called the same day it shipped saying that they have the watch for me so now I have to return the unopened H band to Apple.)

True. I waited too long after launch day (2 days) to decide and got a ship date of October 15-22, but the watch arrived last Friday.

Loving it. And those who have said that the double tour straps are very short are not lying! I am shocked to be wearing mine on the last hole.
 
Can any of you Hermès experts explain why barenia and more water resistant than swift leather?

I’ve had water drops stain my fauve barenia strap that would not disappear. And the only way was to wait for the whole band to darken to match the water stain.

With swift I can easily wipe off any water drops with little to no residue after.


Do you think the single tours are made or coated differently from the handbag equivalents?

I sure wouldn’t think so. The leathers seem consistent and familiar to me. Barenia is more likely to stain and darken over time, some people love that aged look and feel, others not so much. But it sounds consistent.
