Apple Inc. Reveals New Apple Watch Models And Bands Designed By Hermès

Apple revealed new Apple Watch bands and models Wednesday as part of its "Hey Siri" event at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco.

Apple revealed new gold and rose gold sports band models, retaining the existing anodized aluminum body. These will be available at the same price as the rest of Sport range, and were announced alongside new sports band colors in more neutral tones. The new models will begin shipping immediately.

The company also announced an expansion of watch configurations for the space black stainless steel model. Alongside classic leather and black sports bands, the space black stainless steel also will be available with a Product Red sports band.

A partnership with French luxury brand Hermès, resulting in three new hand-stitched leather bands, was also revealed. Each band has a custom Hermès watch face, and will be available in select stores in October.

WatchOS 2, which the company will be shipping Sept. 16, was also demonstrated. Native apps announced include Facebook Messenger, iTranslate, GoPro and Airstrip.
