Apple Watch Series 0 Hermes (Steel, 42 mm) Specs
Identifiers: Watch Herm®s 42mm - MLCC2LL/A* - Watch1,2 - A1554 - 2871*
All Apple Watch Models
The Apple Watch Hermes Collection represents a collaboration between Apple and French luxury brand Hermes. This model essentially is a "regular" 42 mm 316L stainless steel Apple Watch with three "exclusive" software watch faces in classic Hermes fonts -- Clipper, Cape Cod (left photo), and Espace (right photo) -- and bundled with a choice of Hermes designed watch bands. Specific watch band options for this 42 mm model are a "Single Tour" leather band in Fauve Barenia calf leather (Brown) and Noir Box calf leather (Black). It also is available with a larger "Cuff" in Fauve Barenia calf leather (Brown).
All Apple Watch devices are controlled with a "Digital Crown" and the Retina caliber displays include "Force Touch" capability that can differentiate between a light tap and a heavier press for more navigational possibilities. All Apple Watch models also are required to be paired with an also carried iPhone 5 or newer for most functions.
Battery life is an Apple estimated "up to 18 hours" overall, but more specifically "up to 3 hours" of talk time, "up to 6.5 hours" of audio playback or working out, "up to 48 hours" of use as a watch (using it 20 seconds per hour), and "up to 72 hours" of low power "Power Reserve" usage. It charges via a custom inductive charger with MagSafe capability.
Like the "regular" stainless steel Apple Watch, this particular original 42 mm Apple Watch Hermes features a 312x390 display with a protective sapphire crystal layer packed in a 316L stainless steel housing with a zirconia ceramic back and sapphire crystal "lenses" that connect to the charger.
It was discontinued altogether on September 7, 2016.

| Details: |
*Apple provides no details on the type of battery in the Apple Watch Hermès, but it is a proprietary Lithium Ion. Apple reports that the device provides "up to 18 hours" of battery life which includes "90 time checks, 90 notifications, 45 minutes of app use and a 30 minute workout with music playback from Apple Watch via Bluetooth." Battery life for other uses varies -- reportedly "up to 3 hours" of talk time, "up to 6.5 hours" of audio playback or working out, "up to 48 hours" of use as a watch (using it 20 seconds per hour), and "up to 72 hours" of low power "Power Reserve" usage. Apple also notes that the 42 mm Apple Watch models "typically experience longer battery life" so it would be safe to assume that they have a slightly larger battery as well. In fact, as reported by AnandTech, the 42 mm Apple Watch models specifically have a 3.78 V 0.93 Watt Hour (246 mA H) battery, which is larger than the 0.78 Watt Hour (205 mA H) battery in the 38 mm models. |
