Why The Apple Watch Hermès Is So Expensive 

One thing Apple did right from the beginning is keeping the bands compatible with each new model.

To sum it all up, the leather on the band is super good and is handmade. Edit: Its also because its made by Hermès

Tim cook should hire him to make a show called "Know Apple"

I’m so glad I stumbled on this channel

Greg, I absolutely love how quick and to the point you are to explain EVERYTHING Apple and how well put together your videos are. Keep it up! I appreciate your hard work you out into these.

One of the best channels on RU-vid that it seems like an official Apple channel. The fact that it’s not makes it even more mind blowing, *brilliant.*

Really missing the original long-form educational videos that used to be the bread-and-butter of this channel.

Its expensive because of the brand. That's it. You could go to a local leatherworker with 30 years experience, and get him to make you the same thing, with the same or even higher quality leather for 1/8th the price. Also this is not hermes cheapest thing, you can literally buy a hermes watch strap for cheaper than the apple watch one

What a presentation man. Lovely!!

Damn, that seems like a lit crossover

Thanks for the great content!

These videos is the thing we need

I think this Hermes line is so hilarious because 1. I have never experienced malfunction of another leather watch band and 2. You can’t tell from a glance if your leather band costs 25$, or 400$ 😂

Nice to see another episode so soon

So glad you explained this. I always wondered why the Hermes was so expensive

thank you so much for explaining this because i had no idea why they cost so much!

Great presentation and explanation as usual, Greg.

Biggest thing I learned was how to pronounce the brand name Hermes

In summary … hermes Apple Watch is very expensive because of the bands that are manufactured by Hermes. And the bands are so expensive cause hermes is luxurious brand that makes really expensive leather products.

Would love a video on the materials of the Apple Watch Edition (titanium/ceramic).

Explained it so well it made me almost want to go buy one just to support the level of craftsmanship invested upon the watchband

This is the most informative channel ever

Thank you to this channel ❤️

I will buy the band! Thank you for sharing!

Every video uploaded by you is most Incredible and perfect...

Got the Hermes Apple Watch series 6 for Father’s Day with the fauve Barenia band . Love the watch !

I love my Apple watch series 7 hermes with noir deployment clasp it was pricey but definitely worth it extremely comfortable, classy, and convenient with clasp.

can’t believe i have been subbed since 300k

I love how they took the time to make a visual describing the backstitching at the points of most strain. That is the most basic action of sewing leather. You do that at every single point you decide to stop sewing and cut the string. To make sure the ends of the string once youve melted them or however you decide to do it, to make sure the end points don't get pulled out and the whole thing come undone over time.

I really just thought the high price was mainly based on the name...it's cool to know that there's a whole heck of a lot more to it!

I feel like I know everything about apple when I watch these videos.

I have the Hermes series 4 and then purchased another Hermes band just like the one shown in the video. Both have the same problem, it uses two layers of leather stiching together and over time the glue/edge paint come off. I do know this is a common problem for leather bands but happening in three months after purchase sucks

Hermès also make luxury traditional watches and the higher price tag Apple Watch could justify their brand. And on Apple side they could let the Hermès Apple Watch be their new Apple Watch Edition.

Apparently purchasing the Hermés Space Black version is the only way to get the Black DLC finish in on a Stainless Steel case in an Apple Watch 7. The Regular SS AW7 is in Graphite which is a PVD finish. Although PVD is a notch above electroplating in terms of scratch resistance and durability, DLC has the best scratch resistant properties.

This is a great Channel!!!!!!

I have the same on pictured here. It's the series 7 45MM in what I think they call Rouge H? I love it!

Thank you man

Wow great detail

Coming from a retail background myself, I find that people connect better with a product or a brand when they understand the WHY behind it, especially when it comes to something like this where it seems to come outta left field. Kinda makes you want it even more now. 😉

I found myself wondering that many times lol

Video request. Why does apple switch between USB-C and MagSafe on the MacBooks. Thank you!

what is the difference between smoothening and smoothing?

@01:28, what a minute observation - most of us would tend to not look at all..🤔👌👍

“Precision that a machine just can’t make” lol hahahaa

There are higher quality handmade watch bands made of premium leather for far less cash. Hermès watch band is expensive because it is Hermès.

Bring back longer videos ‼️

Thank you for pronouncing the name RIGHT ! 👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Do you think this 350$ watch band will last longer than a jacket of the same price? Do you think the watch will or will it even be compatible in the next years? Cause I have 15-20 years old leather jackets ranging from half that price to the same price that are still pristine.

for anyone who wants to know how many bands are made per year roughly 8160 per year

The Gourmette Double Tour band pays homage to iconic Hermès dog collars from the 1930s. Links weave fluidly together in supple Fauve Barénia leather.

I get my watch bands hand made custom for me in vietnam from the highest end exotic leathers and they cost about $80 each.

Can make a video on why Apple hasn’t redesigned the Magic Mouse even though it needs well deserved redesign

Wow now that he pointed out that the three stitches are cross threaded, I can’t unsee it lol

I'll be honest, I've never even heard of Hermès until watching this video. It's amazing to find such incredible craftsmanship with companies like them though! You can't find that in a lot of companies nowadays.

Can you explain why there’s no golden stainless steel version of Hermes?

Amazing video

Didn’t know there were different versions of the Apple Watch apart from series 3,4,5,6 and 7

Yeah that makes sense

Miss the longer vids tbh

Brand. That sums it up. Quality Leather bands (generic) cost a fraction of this, it’s for the person who likes to express wealth. Also massive margin involved here.

These prices are still insane for such small and normal items, no matter how many qualifications you give them :-)

Hermès is a luxury brand. That's the whole reason. It's that simple. No need to try to explain it.

The branding is make things expensive

Is there a chance for me to buy just the watch band?

I don't like product selling point mainly because its luxury name but between Hermes and LV, I would choose Hermes over LV, they seem more forward thinking, more cleaner design and the brand style too

Forget Apple Watch, Hermes is expensive by itself this video is self explanatory

I mean, no Hermes watch bands are the price of their Apple Watch bands (they’re much more expensive). So you get the same quality band that Hermes normally makes with a smart watch for a pretty decent price (for Hermes standards).

Cool apple watch, wish I had it

what about the fact that it’s not an aluminium case? wouldn’t that make it also more expensive?

I bought Watch S7 Hermès 3 months ago. Yeah I know for some people it's not worth it for $1.5K, but for me price doesn't matter, what matter is I can get a luxury item plus different from most apple watch people use. It's good to be different right…

Hermès… it’s like your describing a vintage bottle of French wine… only thing is others are just as good. BandWerk ( not a runner up like Forest Atilier) for example has a soft, thin and highly water resistant color fast leather band with 316/304 ss hardware. I would think for this price you should have superior replacement warranty Or some original design as you see in custom sounds made or commissioned by high end fashion (signature) brands. I have not seen a lot of innovation since the Milanese loops or Arc/Helix bands

Yess

If you know about Manny Koshbin's Bugatti and McLaren, you won't wonder why that strap is so expensive.

I expected to hear that it takes an artisan several hours to make the leather band😀. I also thought the Hermes version of the Apple Watch 7 costs 1299 dollars

So which is better? Apple collab with Hermès or Samsung collab thom browne?

Manny Koshbin needs one

To make a long story short. You're paying $1200 for a leather band not the Apple Watch itself.

imagine buying a hermes edition and changing the band :)

We need a how it’s made on the leather

reminds me of the Z Fold 3 Thom Browne edition

Finally!!!! I understood why it is so damn expensive

I want it so much, but I waste that much money for an Apple Watch, so imma just get the SE

yea my leather watch band from amazon for only $11 is fine…

Really cool 😎

We buy not only a wrist band for iWatch. We buy craftsmanship, professionalism, and experiences!

Reason: Because it has a special classic design.

Wow that’s impressive

Mom I need this for school

because of people are willing to pay for it that much, otherwise cost to manufacture is like £50 if you consider the fact artisan workers are available in other countries and they are just as skilled as the ones allegedly makin these:)

Materials, Labor, Expertise and the Brand name ofcourse

Let us all agree that Apple watch needs a big design change. It has been years since the same design.

Personally, I would buy multiple decent leather bands, with different colour options and which will last longer.😄

yeah, machines arent capable of manufacturing a band because of how small it is, but they can do 5 nanometer chips.

When i saw the title of this video I was thinking that is it obvious? :))))

Also, Apple Watch Hermès comes with two-year warranty instead of the usual one-year.

Before watching Answer in my head: Of course, it's Hermes 😂😂

I’m looking for a video on why Apple doesn’t use a usb-c on the iPhones. They already have it on the iPads. 🤷🏻‍♂️

You forgot to mention that the Hermes watch comes with two bands

I’m gonna buy one

Up until about 3 years ago i was always pronouncing it like hermes from futurama
