Please note that this A2375 Apple Watch Series 6 Hermes (Global, 40 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), or 17 (700b MHz). It is sold globally (just about everywhere in the world except for the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Puerto Rico).
The Apple Watch Hermes (Series 6) models are sold as a "partnership" between Apple and French luxury brand Hermes. Like earlier Apple Watch Hermes devices, this model effectively is a 40 mm stainless steel Apple Watch Series 6 -- complete with the "Always On" 324x394 LTPO 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 6 models look nearly identical to the Apple Watch Series 5 that they replaced, but they have a faster architecture, and add an "always-on" altimeter and a Blood Oxygen sensor (SpO2). They also offer a variety of new finishes and watch band options.
All cellular-equipped Apple Watch Series 6 models, including this one, are capable of being connected to the Internet without a "tethered" iPhone, but it still requires an iPhone 6s or later running iOS 14 or later for most functionality.
All Apple Watch Series 6 devices are controlled with a Digital Crown with haptic feedback and a touch capable display and have an "all ceramic and sapphire crystal back" that connects to the charger, as well.
Battery life is an Apple estimated "up to 18 hours" overall, but more specifically "up to 1.5 hours" of talk time connected to an iPhone (or LTE), "up to 11 hours" of audio playback from Apple Watch storage, "up to 11 hours" working out indoors and "up to 7 hours" working out outdoors with GPS.
Four default options for this specific 40 mm Apple Watch Hermes (Series 6) included Stainless Steel with a (Light Brown) Fauve Barenia Single Tour Band, Stainless Steel with a Fauve Barenia Double Tour Band, Space Black Stainless Steel with a (Black) Noir Single Tour Band and Space Black Stainless Steel with a Noir Double Tour Band (pictured, right). The models with black housings also include a black Hermes Sport Band whereas the models with silver housings also include an orange Hermes Sport Band. Other leather watch bands were available via customization, as well.
