Those with high-class taste and serious money to burn now have a new smartwatch option: the Apple Watch Hermes.

First announced last month, the collection of Apple Watch timepieces created in collaboration with designer fashion label Hermes hit stores on Monday, as expected. The Apple Watch Hermes is available in a number of different style and size combos starting at $1,100 for the the so-called "Single Tour" leather band that wraps around the wrist once, $1,250 for the "Double Tour" that wraps twice around the wrist, and $1,500 for an extra-wide Cuff design.

The Single Tour with a 38mm stainless steel case comes in fauve, noir, and capucine color options while the 42mm size comes in just fauve and noir. The Double Tour comes with just the 38mm size case in fauve, bleu jean, capucine, or etain color options. The cuff pairs with the 42mm size case in fauve only.

All models in the Apple Watch Hermes collection feature a customizable watch face with three exclusive Hermes-themed dial designs. The Hermes signature is also etched into the back of the watch.

"Apple and Hermes make very different products, but they reflect the deep appreciation of quality design," Apple's chief design officer said Jonathan Ive said in a statement last month. "Both companies are motivated by a sincere pursuit of excellence and the desire to create something that is not compromised. Apple Watch Hermès is a true testament to that belief."

Don't expect to order one online, as the collection is only available in stores at select Apple and Hermes locations as well as specialty and department stores. Before you take the plunge, be sure to check out PCMag's full review of the Apple Watch.

My Experience

I'm PCMag's managing editor for consumer electronics, overseeing an experienced team of analysts covering smart home, home entertainment, wearables, fitness and health tech, and various other product categories. I have been with PCMag for more than 10 years, and in that time have written more than 6,000 articles and reviews for the site. I previously served as an analyst focused on smart home and wearable devices, and before that I was a reporter covering consumer tech news. I'm also a yoga instructor, and have been actively teaching group and private classes for nearly a decade. 

Prior to joining PCMag, I was a reporter for SC Magazine, focusing on hackers and computer security. I earned a BS in journalism from West Virginia University, and started my career writing for newspapers in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.

The Technology I Use

My little Florida beach bungalow is brimming with smart home tech. I have a smart speaker or display in every room, allowing me to control other connected devices by voice. The Nest Hub on my bedside table lets me set wake-up alarms, control my smart light bulbs, and set the temperature on my smart thermostat. I use the Amazon Echo Show 8 on my kitchen counter to browse recipes, reorder protein powder, check the weather, and watch the news while I do dishes. 

Because I suffer from allergies, air purifiers are essential. My favorite model is the Dyson Purifier Cool TP07, which doubles as a fan and continuously sends indoor pollution data to its companion mobile app. 

My pitbull Bradley sheds, so a good robot vacuum is a must. I currently use a premium Ecovacs Deebot that can both vacuum and mop, empty its own dustbin, and wash its own mop cloth. 

For fitness, I like to mix up my routine with cycling, indoor rowing, running, and strength training in addition to yoga. I take classes on the Tonal 2 smart strength training machine, I row indoors on an Aviron machine, and track my beach runs with an Apple Watch while listening to music on my Apple AirPods Pro. On the weekends, I love riding e-bikes like the rugged, beach-friendly Aventon Aventure for fun and fitness.

My job involves a lot of virtual meetings, so a quality webcam, microphone, and ring light are important. I use the Jabra PanaCast 20 webcam, the Elgato Wave: 3 microphone, and a Yesker tripod ring light. 

As for my preferred phone platform, I'm an iPhone person, but I've also extensively used Android for product testing.
