Apple Watch Gets First Major Updates, Including Partnership With Hermès

Apple hosted Wednesday's product release event one year to the day after it first announced Apple Watch, and the watch got its first round of updates on its first anniversary. There are a few new accessories, two new metal colors, and a partnership with luxury brand Hermès.

Apple began its watch announcements with the splashiest. For the Apple Watch Hermès, Apple partnered with the French luxury brand to create leather straps for the standard stainless steel model and a trio of special watch faces that recall Hermès's traditional watches. Prices range from $1,100 for a single wrap strap to $1,500 for a watch with a full leather cuff, and the straps come in a variety of colors including black, red, tan, and blue. These watches will be limited to select retail stores, will come packaged in Hermès' signature orange color boxes, and go on sale sometime in October.
