Hermès Has Just Released its Apple Watch Series 9 Collection, Including Leather Bands Despite Apple Giving Up on Leather as an Option

Luxury fashion brand Hermès has just gone ahead and debuted its new Apple Watch Series 9 case and band collection. In the new collection, you can get your hands on some leather bands that even Apple is not selling, which is for the obvious reason that the company has finally given up on leather and has decided to go with a different fabric-type material called FineWoven cases.

These Hermès bands for Apple Watch Series 9 will make you want to feel fancy

It should not come as a surprise that Apple is no longer selling any leather iPhone cases and Apple Watch bands; the same goes for the Hermès offerings in the Apple Store. However, since the brand is still in partnership with Apple, it means that it still has the option to sell Apple Watch Series 9 bands, and it is doing so by offering some stunning-looking leather bands made out of calfskin.

Now, these Hermès bands for Apple Watch Series 9 are not going to come cheap. They are available in Single Tour and Double Tour bands that are made out of knitted nylon and woven nylon. You also have several color options available. The Apple Watch Series 9 bands can be yours starting from $349  and go all the way up to $589. However, if you are looking for a watch and band combination, you can expect to spend anywhere from $1,249 to $1,539. That is the price of luxury that you have to pay, but considering how you are looking at Hermès, it makes sense why the company is charging so much.

All these bands are currently available on the website, and Hermès claims that the bands will start shipping on September 22nd. If you are interested in checking out the bands, you can head over here.

Honestly, there is nothing disappointing about these watch bands aside from the fact that some people might have some reservations, keeping the price in mind. However, the good news is that if you are looking for a leather watch band for the Apple Watch Series 9 and you don't want to spend money on an expensive offering from Hermès, then you can always go for third-party manufacturers and even independent watch strap makers who will be more than happy to accommodate your requirements in the material of your choice. If, however, luxury is the one thing that you really want, then go ahead and spend the money on your favorite watch band.
