YES. Apple Watch Hermes is overpriced for an Apple customer. BUT. Apple Watch Hermes is fairly priced for an Hermes customer.

I think what a lot of average consumers fail to realize is the clientele for the Hermes edition is already use to spending 💰 on accessories. They see it as getting an Apple Watch w/ their Hermes band purchase. They don’t need the features of an Ultra because in their industry it’s always been fashion over function. It’s really cool Apple has tapped into this market and evident by the video, it worked.

Apple Watch Hermes face watch cannot and will never be available for regular Apple users. I’ve always wanted to own something Hermes. I finally am the proud owner of a Hermes product & I am a huge fan of watches ever since I got one in a candy bag as a child 😃🥰

The H is silent in Hermes. Pronounced as Air-Mess’

the hermes version has an extra year of warranty, its definitely a key difference which is worth a good buck, so it’s the only version able to get extended to a maximum of 3 years

I agree with your take in the end. I’ve been debating for years if I want to spend $1200+ on an Apple Watch Hermes but their latest bands makes me want to get the ultra 2, and attach the bands so I get best quality watch from a spec perspective, and a luxury band from fashion perspective. Great video!

It’s technically sold by Apple. That’s why I think all the overpricing rage comes through. If it was sold by Hermes which is better know for pure luxury I think less people would consider it overpriced. It’s not overpriced, it’s luxury. Simple as that.

the only reason i bought the hermes was to get space black colour

I bought my wife, the Hermes Apple Watch that came with the leather and metal band the chain-link and it’s beautiful. She also has a few other Hermes bands. Now that apple no longer sells leather you can only buy the good bands from Hermes.

I actually bought the Apple Watch Hermes series 3 and I don’t really regret it. I’ll probably never buy one again but I still use the band with my Apple Watch ultra.

Very well thought out video. You made your point beautifully.🤗

People who are commenting it's too expensive or not the worth, remember guys the apple watch Hermes is not for your demographic, it is for people who wears luxury mechanical watches but also want to enjoy a smartwatch!!!!

- Apple Watch Case 45mm with cheapest band: 900 € - Hermes Band: 370 € - Sports Band (Part of the Hermes Package): 50 € TOTAL: 1320 € Apple Watch Hermes Edition: 1550 € So Apple is basically charging you an extra 230 € just for the packaging, watch faces and the Hermes name under the case. So yeah, it's overpriced for any Apple or Hermes costumer. Remember, the important thing here is the Hermes band, you don't even need the sports band if you bought the 900 € apple watch (45mm) with a sports band.

Can the band be replaced in store if damaged?

Have the ultra, just got the regular series 8 silver stainless today, mt next band will be the link bracelet, and then I’m getting a Hermes space black series 8 or silver

I love your videos, you’re one of my favorite tech KZfaqrs

People buy Hermes because they appreciate the fashion it represents and brings with it. Pure personal enjoyment. There is nothing logical in buying Hermes (any product).

Thank you for this video. I wanted to buy a friend of mine an apple watch for her birthday and was trying to decide between the Ultra 2 and the Hermes. In the case of her, she doesn't really need a fancy brand and if the Ultra 2 has even better specs, the best apple watch to get her is the Ultra 2 as a gift for her birthday. This is especially true if they don't care about "brand names".

Just because an item isn´t significantly more expensive than the rest of a brand´s portfolio does not automatically mean it isn´t overpriced. Let´s not pretend this is anything but a question of squeezing as much profit from a certain kind of customer. Luxury brands don´t price their products simply based on their quality or method of production. A huge portion of the price has to do with the name itself and the perception of exclusivity (that´s what the whole limited edition / exclusive series / VIP labels are all about). Basically, there is no ceiling where haute-couture brands are concerned as long as there are people willing to pay the asking price.

It's pronounced as 'Ermes' and not 'Hermes'

Just by looking purely at what it is, a regular steel Apple Watch with a special band and watchface, it’s overpriced compared to what you get for the regular one. It doesn’t offer anything unique functionally compared to the regular ones unlike the Ultra for instance. Hermes is a also high luxury fashion brand and not a watch brand, so it also doesn’t have the horilogical appeal as many people not in the know think it does. Yes, it’s fashion and therefore desirable and expensive, but Hermes as a Watch brand wouldn’t have the same appeal for watches like Rolex or Omega does. For what an Apple Watch does and is currently marketed for (mostly fitness), getting an ultra or regular watch over this would make more sense. This piece feels like it’s from the previous era where Apple wanted to sell the watch as a high luxury item, I’m surprised this one’s still getting sold and the Nike version has been discontinued. If people are looking for a high end watch that’s also luxurious around this price range, a Tissot, Hamilton or Longines would be a way better investment along with a series 8 or SE IMO

There is an black stainless steel Hermès watch that comes with a black sport band instead of the Hermès Orange.

The main benefits of Apple Watch Hermes over the Stainless Steel is literally exclusive Watch face, brand etching, oh and they also made the space black exclusive to it now. And of course the unboxing experience. Not worth it at all.

Love your videos Nikias 🥺❤️ my favorite KZfaqr hands down. I’ve always wanted to ask you, what football club do you support? I hope you love Madrid like me 😭😭😭 love from Texas like always

Amazing video man keep it up ! Just earned a sub 🙌

Where is the strap manufacturer?

I can understand from a fashion industry standpoint. Someone who is very interested in fashion and has the money wouldn’t want to wear something “tacky”. It’s now an alternative to something like a Rolex bcz you get all the smart features and keep the designer brand and quality. For anyone else tho, it’d absolutely not worth it. It has a very niche audience and it’s main purpose is to elevate the Apple Watch to something beyond just a fun gadget and into competing with high end brands where Apple couldn’t have a reach before. Something like the Apple Watch ultra for extreme sports participants, like he alludes to in the video It’s an “image builder” of shorts

It’s a fashion house. It’s not meant to be cheaper Duh. It’s meant to be exclusive and exclusivity cost. A Porsche starts around 100k and a Honda Civic 18k. They’re both cars, but one brand is exclusive.

People exaggerate Hermes AW price to justify their purchase of their ordinary AW. They will even ask you the function of Hermes strap 😂 and leverage their ordinary SS AW by its price where in fact the price of Hermes is only the same with AW SS without the Hermes strap.

I am highly amazed at the number of people on here saying it's WAY TOO overpriced. For it is NOT if do your math correctly! Take the regular price of the AW SS, add the Hermès band price and tada! Oh weird, it's the same price, nuh uh

The only reason I wanna buy AW Hermes is because I like their leather band and if you buy the band separately it is almost the same price

I’m getting the Apple Watch ultra with the yellow ocean band for my birthday 🥳 in January

Así que al final es una versión sobre valorada, pero no sobrevalorada? No entendí el punto. Eso sí, los artículos de lujo son necesarios para las marcas y Apple y Hermes hacen un buen trabajo, aunque en mi opinión se queda corto. Podrían ofrecer más, cómo un color exclusivo de la caja del reloj (me refiero al acero inoxidable con el que está hecho), para que al menos así sepan que tienes un Hermes en lugar de un series 8 regular. Recuerdas el piano black de los iPhone 7? Más o menos ese concepto, pero justificando el precio. Saludos y gracias por permitirnos conocer las sobre estas cosas menos comunes dle universo Apple .

Just a helpful tip on pronunciation, it sounds like Air-Mez not Hair Mez

I invest in my tech so I end up updating all my products every 2 years. Bought the standard steel watch, and then a band separately. Fits nicely, but without the outrageous price tag.

Time is free but I still have my movado watches and my apple Hermes 😊

Love your videos always!

Just cuz I can buy Versace shoes for $1,000 doesn’t make it worth it if it’s damn near the same as a $300 pair of the same style, material, and quality

Please pronounce Hermès correctly 😅 It's [ɛʁmɛs] or [ɛərˈmɛz], no H involved.

You buy the strap... not the watch

Siri on the wrist is currently don't worth a penny

Personally I don’t see the point of it it’s just an Apple Watch with the name Hermes on it

That’s lie I work at a call center 8-5pm living in the matrix and still can afford to buy a Hermes so everyone else who commented are just pure excuses they put in their mind, we can afford anything that we put our mind to it I put in my mind to have an iPhone 15 pro max got one ☝🏻 I put in my mind to get a Hermes Apple Watch’s series 9 got one and also put in my mind to get a MacBook Pro 💻 got one ☝🏻 and put my self in my mind to own an LG OLED tv got one, looks amazing by the way but I put in my mind to have the new Mercedes Benz E class 450matic but don’t have one 😞 yet and still I take responsibility of paying my mothers phone bill and car insurance and still pay my rent 2k every month so everyone who has commented they can’t is just excuses in their mind

Buying bands to get faces may not work for Hermes because honestly the ultra is ugly. Hermes may not want its face to be there on an ultra, for example

You get a hand and a silly wall paper!? People really pay for that 😂 you are pretty much saying ok rip me off 😂😂

the h in hermes is silent omg

And dude switches to wrist cam in two days !

Hey

In 2024 garmin epix 51 mm is the king.. no other watch comes close, the ultra and the hermes look like $10 dollar square gadget from the family dollar store , or like a mini ipod in the wrist , and charging the battery everyday is a nuisance 🤭

It’s stupid but it’s really the same thing as the other ones 😂😂😂

As someone who has purchased not one but TWO Apple Watch Hermes over the years. I love them dearly. The leather on the Hermes bands is absolutely incredible and the orange sport band is perfect for the gym. Getting an Hermes watch WITH all the convenience of an iPhone on my wrist is an experience next to none.

Still makes no sense to overpay for something silly like this!

Basically, it’s just an Apple Watch…. But, with Hermés branding. If you have money to burn, just but it. But as for me, but not worth it.

You just said it was cheap 6:30 brah 🤔

Bro it’s pronounced Ermes. H is silent

Great video keep it up 👍🏼

It seems more of a leftover from the previous apple watch strategy where they wanted to make it a luxury product vs the health/fitness device they later pivoted to when they saw that wasn't working.

This video is so confusing!

This hermes watch won't work after 4-5 years instead buy a timepiece which will last generations.

Air-mez

I think Apple should just make the Hermes Watchfaces available as an in app purchase, like I would probably pay 30 bucks just for one watchface. I know it’s not going to happen but I figured it would be a neat idea

It’s over priced that is not worth more than 500

apple watch ultra looks way better

Hermes represents OVERPRICED lul.

I think if you purchase a Hermes band you should get access to the watch faces. That would be an easy solution especially if you have an Apple Watch Ultra 👍

I’m a huge fan of apple, I have macbook pro, ipad pro, airpods pro, apple watch, iphone pro max, but I can’t take your stance seriously because you’re clearly a fanboy and will try to defend or justify anything that Apple does. No, the Hermes is NOT worth it and is extremely overpriced. The only difference from the stainless steel model is the watch band and some digital faces. On top of that, the band doesn’t even look like anything special. The Hermes stuff that you showed is also overpriced, they’re stupid little trinkets priced off brand name alone. The difference is that luxury brand tech depreciates in value bc they get outdated unlike regular luxury items. Like for your ipad 10 video, if ANY other company was to implement the monstrosity of the apple pencil dongle setup, you’d surely tear them apart. But because Apple did it, you’re like it’s not that big of a deal you can live with it (which duh of course anyone can, but why should they need to? it’s an extremely horrible design decision). It’s 2022, it should not be that complicated to pair and charge a freaking apple pencil. stop giving Apple a pass for everything!

Uhm as an Apple fanboy I see this watch as overpriced. No I’m not an Hermes fanboy but this watch is overpriced dude

My brother in Christ. If you want a decent luxury fashion watch that you don't have to bin in 5 to 10 years because it will become obsolete, just buy a Cartier Tank.

Sorry way over priced.

You are nuts Apple could put out a box of turds and you would be the first to tell everyone how wonderful it is

lol that’s because you are rich… it’s like someone saying Louis Vuitton bags are cheap and u should get it daily and wears Prada clothes and says it’s cheap 🤣

No one should buy the Hermes without solely looking for Apple clout. Don’t listen to this shill. Bro would tell you $500 apple toilet paper would change your life

This is just typical apple fanboy trying to convince others to buy this rocket high overpriced watch. With literally few to no extra features.

Not everyone is rich like you bro

Let's be real apple products are great but all apple products are alttile overpriced

Orange is such an ugly color lol I would not want that color band 😂😂

I would never buy a Hermes Apple Watch, or a stainless steel Apple Watch

Best tech KZfaqr ever

Tengo una duda que me carcome: cuando se le come el rabo a Apple de esa manera, aunque digamos que se ponen a cagar en medio de Central Park y le tiran la mierda a los niños a la cara, y aun así es algo bueno, ¿qué es lo que regala Apple? Espero que sea algo más que enviar productos e invitar a Cupertino… Un saludo

Your voice sounds like the "Umm, actually..."-type-of-guy. And by the way: The Apple Watch Hèrmes is overpriced.

Of course it's overpriced! Like a comment below by Ameer Ali Ouarda it's a video only to support your purchase and make it feel right! A big thumbs down for this video by my side..!!

If you think the Apple Watch Hermes is overpriced, just think about a Rolex. End of discussion.

can u pls stop pronouncing the h in Hermes im begging you

NAIL IT! I have an ULTRA 2 and my Girl has the S9. S9 looks so much better than the ULTRA, S9 is dressy and sexy but I like my Ultra, that looks like a shiny tool, like new wrench tool. Ultra is much more Manly
