Watch Series 3 42 mm

This A1861 Apple Watch Series 3 Hermes (42 mm) is the North American version, with LTE/UMTS support for the US, Canada, and Puerto Rico. This collaboration with luxury brand Hermes is essentially a 42 mm stainless steel Apple Watch Series 3, featuring a 312x390 OLED display with sapphire crystal, but enhanced with exclusive Hermes watch faces (including the new Carrick face), custom packaging, and a choice of designer leather bands. Each also included an orange Hermes Sport Band for workouts. As a high-end Series 3 model, it offers GPS, a barometric altimeter, and cellular connectivity, identified by a red dot on the Digital Crown. Battery life is estimated at up to 18 hours, with over 1 hour on LTE.

The Hermes collaboration elevated the Apple Watch from tech accessory to fashion statement, with reviewers consistently praising the exquisite leather craftsmanship and exclusive packaging experience. Users appreciated how the partnership balanced cutting-edge Apple technology with traditional Hermes luxury aesthetics, creating a product that felt appropriate in both boardrooms and fitness studios. However, some critics questioned whether the premium pricing could be justified when the core functionality remained identical to standard stainless steel models, viewing it primarily as an expensive band and face upgrade.
