Value
The reason this series costs more than the regular apple watch series 5 watches is because of the cosmetic additions it has. One of the cosmetic additions that could inflate the price would be the leather bands, which usually cost over $300 by themselves. Unless the customer really wants the fashion option and has that kind of spending money, buying a regular series 5 watch with a stainless steel case is a cheaper alternative.
Apple Watch Series 5 Hermes Edition Wrap Up
The Hermès edition can mostly match a brand new apple watch such as the series 6 watch in terms of specifications. However, the only two reasons this watch is as expensive as it is is due to its appearance and leather bands. Potential first time users should probably buy the regular series 5 watch unless they’ve had previous experience with apple watches and just love how fashionable it is.
