Apple Watch Series 10 (Hermes, China, 42 mm) Specs

Identifiers: Watch Series 10 42 mm - MX103CH/B* - Watch7,10 - A3002* - 8734*

Apple Watch Series 10, Hermes, China, 42 mm Please note that this A3002 Apple Watch Series 10 (Hermes, China, 42 mm) model is compatible with LTE bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 18, 19, 20, 25, 26, 28, 39, 40, 41, and 66 as well as UMTS 2100 MHz, 1900 MHz, 1700/2100 MHz, 850 MHz, and 900 MHz. It is not compatible with LTE bands 12 (700 MHz), 13 (700c MHz), 14 (700 PS), and 17 (700b MHz). It is sold only in mainland China. Note that when first announced, Apple listed this model as also for Hong Kong and Macao, but this was incorrect; Hong Kong and Macao sell a version of the "regular" cellular model (A3001) and it cannot be activated in mainland China. This A3002 model includes a WPT compliant charging cable that does not support fast charging.

The Apple Watch Hermes (Series 10) models are sold as a "partnership" between Apple and French luxury brand Hermes. This model effectively is a 42 mm titanium Apple Watch Series 10 -- complete with the same 374x446 "Always-On Retina" wide angle LTPO3 OLED screen covered with a protective "Sapphire" crystal layer -- but with custom packaging and model-specific watch faces and software tweaks.

All Apple Watch Series 10 models, Hermes and otherwise, are 10% thinner and at least 10% lighter than their predecessors (nearly 20% lighter than stainless steel predecessors), but have a new processor, a larger display with a wider viewing angle and a faster refresh rate as well as faster charging, new depth and temperature sensors, improved voice isolation, and new case finish and material options.

All cellular-equipped Apple Watch Series 10 models, including this one, are capable of being connected to the Internet without a "tethered" iPhone, but it still is intended to be used with an iPhone XS or later or iPhone SE 2 or later running iOS 18 or later for some functions.

All Apple Watch Series 10 devices are controlled with a Digital Crown with haptic feedback and a touch capable display. Battery life is an Apple estimated "up to 18 hours" overall in modest use.

For this specific 42 mm Apple Watch Hermes (Series 10), the housing is available in polished, warm gray colored Titanium alongside a variety of Hermes fabric, rubber, canvas, and stainless steel band options. The pictured band options include a knit Vert Moyen Torsade Double Tour (left) and rubber Beton Kilim Single Tour (right), but many other watch bands are available, as well.
