Costs more than mine too
You’re right it’s not different, but Apple no longer sells the SBSS Apple Watch and that’s the one I wanted. Plus I love the simplicity & elegance of the watch faces. Been using the California face for over a year & I’m ready for sleek change. I’ll be upgrading from my SSG S4.
I actually just realized that Apple stopped making the black stainless steel AW and that you could only get it as the Hermes edition.
I quite like the new Hermes faces in watchOS 8, though; I need complications. If my Apple Watch is only telling the date and time on its face, I’m wearing a traditional watch instead. Hermes or not, my AW is used as a tool to track my health and give me info and capabilities like a phone.
I’m still a watch “traditionalist” and have a “rotation” of my Swiss pieces. So, rarely wear the AW *all day*, but still wear it almost daily at some point when I’m working out!
