Apple Watch 5: Hermes vs Regular

Hi, I am thinking of buying an Apple Watch - maybe a Hermes-, but have a few questions:

  • I like the Hermes clock face, but does the Hermes allow for other clock faces (in case you want you something else in the future)?
  • I still have a iPhone SE (love the size). Will this be a problem for pairing with the Apple Watch now or in the near future?
  • Is the only difference between Apple Wacht 5 and Hermes the clock face or are there other software differences?

Thanks!

Hey heiditje,


You ask some great questions about the Apple Watch Hermès and the Apple Watch Series 5. I'd be glad to provide you with a bit more info.


The Apple Watch Series 5 has the option of either having an aluminum case or a stainless steel case at a premium. It also will come with a fluoroelastomer sport band.

The Apple Watch Hermès comes with an aluminum case and a Hermès leather band. This model also includes the Hermès watch face exclusive to this model.

To address your question about watch faces, Apple Watch Hermès has access to the same watch face gallery as other models of Apple Watch.

watchOS 6 requires an iPhone 6s or later, so you're good to go with your iPhone SE as long as it has iOS 13 installed.


Hopefully that gets you all the info you need.

Have a great day!
