Is It Possible To Get The Hermès Watch Face On Apple Watch?

Apple really knows how to gatekeep. That Hermès Watch face? The sleek, stylish one that screams luxury? Yeah, they locked it behind a premium Apple Watch Hermès $1,200 paywall. It’s the kind of thing that makes your wrist feel five tax brackets richer.

But when you go digging through your Apple Watch’s Face Gallery looking for it, nada. That elegant little gem is nowhere to be found. What gives?

Can You Get a Hermès Watch Face on an Apple Watch?#

Here’s the hard truth, straight from the Apple orchard:
Hermès watch faces are exclusive to Apple Watch Hermès models. Full stop.

Even if you slap on a Hermès band and walk around like you own Paris Fashion Week, the watch face won’t show up unless you’ve got the real deal- Apple Watch Hermès edition, which costs significantly more than a standard Apple Watch. Prices vary by model, case size and band.

So yeah… unless you’re swimming in cash or got gifted one by a very generous grandma, you’re out of luck. Officially.

Sneaky Workarounds That Kinda Work#

If Apple won’t give it to us, we’ll find a way to get it ourselves. Because we’re clever, a little stubborn, and not about to let a watch face tell us what we can or can’t flex.

So, if you’re feeling rebellious, you can mimic a Hermès-style watch face using third-party apps like Clockology. You won’t get the real thing, but it’s like buying designer-inspired- close enough from a distance.

Method: Using Clockology#

Clockology is a free app that lets you fully customize your Apple Watch faces, even ones Apple doesn’t offer.

Here’s how to use it to get the Hermès-style face:

1. Download Clockology on both your iPhone and Apple Watch.
2. Go to Facebook or Reddit and search for the “Clockology Fans” group.
3. Look for a Hermès-style watch face file (many people share them).
4. Download the file and open it in the Clockology app. 
5. Sync it with your watch by opening the Clockology app on your Apple Watch as well.

That’s it! You’ll have a fake Hermès face on your wrist that looks very close to the real one – fancy fonts, bold numbers, and all.

Note: It does not actually change your watch face. The design only appears within the app itself.

But First, a Tiny Warning From the Apple Gods#

Just a heads-up: This isn’t an Apple-endorsed thing at all. That means:

• When your Apple Watch gets a software update, it might stop working, and you’ll have to set it up again.
• The custom face won’t stay on by itself. You’ll need to open the Clockology app every time to use it.
• Some people say it drains the battery faster or makes the watch act a bit weird.
• And if something goes wrong, Apple probably won’t help you fix it.

So yeah, it’s fun, but it’s more like modifying your Toyota and calling it a Ferrari.

Bougie Vibes Without Breaking Rules#

You can still get luxe vibes with Apple’s built-in faces, and without worrying about harming your watch.

Try these classy combos:

• California face with Roman numerals and a leather band.
• Numerals Duo with a bold font and monochrome palette.
• Modular or Infograph Modular with clean complications like moon phase, temperature, and time zones.

Want it to feel even fancier? Set the complications to things like UV index, elevation, or a solar dial. Flex those planet-watching vibes.

Conclusion#

If you want the real Hermès face, you’re going to have to drop some serious cash and get the actual Hermès Apple Watch. That’s just how Apple rolls- exclusive and expensive, as always.

But if you’re not afraid to get your hands a little dirty, apps like Clockology can get you pretty darn close. Just know what you’re getting into.

Don’t expect perfection, and be ready for a few bumps along the way. So yeah, it’s a bit of a hack, and if you run into someone who actually has the Hermès edition? Just nod, smirk, and whisper:

“I got mine the clever way.”
