The Apple Watch Hermès's online release is fast approaching, first picked up by Fashionista, so here's a breakdown on what differentiates the most stylish smartwatch released by Apple and its other watch products.
Currently, the child of Apple and French design company Hermès is available in 18 retail locations in North America, but will be available to purchase Friday through the Apple and Hermès online stores.
There are three different models, including the "Single Tour" watch that runs for $1,100, the "Double Tour" watch with double-loop bands for $1,250 and the "Cuff" watch with a wider band for $1,500. According to Apple, the watches all have equestrian-inspired leather bands and a unique Hermès watch face, and the Tour watch bands come in multiple colors including red, black and blue.
To compare, other Apple Watch products start at $349 for the Apple Watch Sport. They still aren't as expensive as the gold Apple Watch, which sells for $10,000-15,000.
The Apple Watch Hermès first came to retail locations in October as a limited release. Apple has not released any sales information so it's unclear whether they have sold well enough to justify more production.
If you want to show up to Fashion Week with a smartwatch, it should probably be this one.
