Just when I thought my Fall 2022 band collection was complete. There are the Ultra bands to collect. I got the orange Alpine Loop and really love the color. I got it in size S initially and ordered a M. I find the M is easier to get on then the S. I traded the S for the Starlight & Midnight Sport Loop. Starlight & Green look pretty good as well. I ordered the yellow Ocean band already but white Ocean seems tempting as well. Will have access to a Midnight Ocean band.

The green is way nicer than you’d expect. I just need a White Ocean to go non-trail complete.

I just wish Amazon had the Ultra bands in stock. My yellow Ocean is expected to arrive sometime later during the third week of October.

My Spicy Orange is delayed by USPS should be here on Monday 10/3 shipped from Kentucky. Also I can't believe my Apricot ordered from Chargerstore is already in Southern CA. Hope to receive it sometime next week.

Ocean bands really interest me. I think I'll be needing to pick some up down the road, especially yellow. Is the design supposed to remind me of coral?
 
Does anyone have a Black Trail Loop or an orange alpine loop? I'd like to see it with an SS Silver AW, to see if it matches with the Ti lugs. Thanks!
 
Im curious to see what Apple does with the Alpine & Trail loops in the future. They feel like if the Sport Loop & Woven Nylon had a baby almost. Trail Loop especially.

Think we'll see some pinstripes or even international collection-esque designs down the road?

That is really strange as yellow ocean bands are shipped immediately in the UK
 
Hey guys, help! Any tips to spot a "real vs fake" Hermes double tour? I've found one for a very good price, with no box, I have zero experience with Hermes leather bands and the deal seems too good to be true. It should be the Bordeaux/Rose Extreme/Rose Azalea Double Tour. What pictures/marks should I asks for?

Thanks!


There’s serial numbers on the underside of one piece and the end of the tongue has Made by Hermes in Paris writing. And the buckle, aside from engraving, will often look wrong (not tapered).

Just get us pics and even just the top of the band it’s easy to see. I’ve seen fudged markings and engraving but it’s never convincing. Possibly not trying to be because it’s people who are custom ordering from the guy in China who does them with good leather.

Where do you guys get the Hermes bands? Direct from Apple or is it possible to find genuine ones on ebay or elsewhere?

I’ve gotten almost all of mine on eBay and Mercari and Poshmark. For a second I would get some from apple with a friend’s employee discount but it’s just not necessary.

$200 for a $340 is the most I’ll pay. Jumping you can get for around $130-175 if you’re patient.

I am ordering the Yellow Ocean band from Amazon which has the long lead times for shipping. My local Apple Store in Southern CA does have them in stock. Best Buy also does not have any of the Ocean bands in stock.
Any particular reason you're buying from scAmazon instead of Apple?
