Each stainless steel case features an etching of the Hermès signature and includes a customisable face with three exclusive dial designs inspired by Hermès watches.
Apple also announced that the new watchOS 2.0 for the Apple Watch will release on September 16. The new watchOS 2.0 brings native apps to Apple Watch which means that to run apps users won’t always require an iPhone. watchOS 2 also includes new communication features such as the ability to respond quickly to Mail with dictation, Smart Replies or emoji.
Apple also introduced new Watch cases and bands including new gold and rose gold aluminium Apple Watch Sport models. Apple Watch also gets a Red Sport Band as part of the fight against AIDS.
