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!
Yeah getting Space Black was my main reason for ordering it, but I also like the subtle watch faces. They’ve also added a few with complications now.
