Apple Watch Series 7 (Hermes, Global, 45 mm) Specs

About this Apple Watch

The Apple Watch Hermes – A2478 was released after the Apple Watch Series 7 and is designated for the Global market, which does not include the US/CA market. It can support a cellular and GPS connection and can be paired with an iPhone Series 6 or later (with IOS15 or later) in order to use the Internet and perform some additional functions.

Its technical specifications are the same as Apple A2478 and compared to Apple Series 6 watches; the Hermes A2478 offers a larger and more durable display and faster charging. With the LTPO technology, the LTPO OLED retina display features an “Always-On” capability and 1000 nits of full brightness.

There are four main health features of the Hermes A2478. Apart from the heart rate notification, there is also a very important Irregular Heart Rhythm notification, Blood Oxygen application, and ECG application. The LTPO technology enables the “Always on” ability and keeps the battery alive for up to 18 hours. On the other hand, battery life varies by use, cellular coverage, configuration, and many other factors, so the actual results will vary.

The case size is 41 mm and features a 396×484 pixel LTPO OLED screen covered with Ion-X glass to enable scratch resistivity. It is a touch-capable display with a Digital Crown with haptic feedback and an “Always on” Altimeter. The haptic feedback for the Digital Crown gives users a more tactile experience while scrolling through the content.

The 32GB of flash memory and about 1GB of RAM support all the main user requirements. The battery life is generally estimated at up to 18 hours, but it usually depends on specific usage.

This watch is a result of the Apple-Hermes partnership and deserves to sit atop the lineup as the most luxurious Apple Watch Series 7. It comes exclusively in stainless steel with silver or “Space Black” color and with a variety of band options, usually handmade of high-quality leather. Although the watch bands can be customized and ordered, the usual bands are patterned blue and brown leather “Circuit H Single Tour” Band and a “Gourmette Double Tour” Band. Also, the models with black housings include a black Hermes Sport Band, and the models with silver housings include an orange Hermes Sport Band.
