Overview

This is the North American version of the Apple Watch Ultra 2 Hermes, for the US, Canada, Ecuador, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. This partnership with Hermes is effectively an Apple Watch Ultra 2—featuring MIL-STD-810H durability and EN13319 dive capability—but enhanced with custom Hermes packaging and software. It requires an iPhone XS or later running iOS 18+. The device features a 49 mm titanium case, a 410x502 "Always-On Retina" LTPO2 OLED display with up to 3000 nits brightness and sapphire crystal, plus an orange "Action" button. Battery life is estimated at up to 36 hours (72 in Low Power Mode).

Evaluation

The North American Apple Watch Ultra 2 Hermes was celebrated as the ultimate expression of luxury adventure technology, representing a masterful collaboration that successfully combined Hermes' maritime-inspired design heritage with Apple's most rugged and capable outdoor smartwatch platform. The exclusive En Mer bands were particularly praised for their innovative textile construction that provided both water resistance and breathability while maintaining the sophisticated French luxury aesthetic that defined the Hermes brand. The custom Maritime watch face was noted as a breakthrough in luxury digital design, featuring historically inspired Cape Cod numerals and specialized nautical timing functions that demonstrated the thoughtful integration of heritage craftsmanship with modern sporting requirements. Users consistently appreciated how the collaboration preserved every aspect of the Ultra 2's professional outdoor capabilities while adding an unmistakable layer of French luxury that transformed the rugged sports watch into a sophisticated statement piece equally suitable for extreme adventures and upscale social occasions.
