No, I like the Black, I just think it’s a little unnecessary for me - and I totally understand why they released it alongside the new black Ultra.

It’s really the Navy I’m disappointed by, given the existence of Midnight and Blue already. Like I said in my earlier post, I wish the third band they released this year, alongside Black & Ice Blue, was something punchier and more different to what we already have.
You wonder if they’ll ever do red bec of the orange accents.

Fair. Still bizarre to me that Product Red hasn’t shown up yet.

I love the design of the Modern Buckle; it’s a shame they replaced it with FineWoven :( I want to buy one, but I’m worried it won’t be as durable as leather.

To answer my own question from a couple of weeks ago, the Ultra Titanium Milanese is amazingly comfortable & I’m extremely happy with it. Coming into the warm weather here, and I’ve worn it a few times now to work all day and barely noticed it. Looks really nice. Extremely light, low & sleek so perfect for under a business shirt. Easily the most professional band for an Ultra.

Strong recommend if you have an Ultra & can live with the price (same as two standard Ultra bands in Australia, I assume the same elsewhere).

now… should I spend twice as much again on the En Mer….?

Love my Ultra Milanese. Was underwhelmed at first to be honest, but had it a week and it hasn't left my watch. Really comfortable and as you say, brings a touch of class to the lets face it ugly Ultra :)

What I found is that it really needs a lot of thinking of the face you pair with though otherwise I found my Ultra looked huge on me and it never had before.

I tried on the FineWoven version and it looks like a suede material but it looks like it can fray easily. If you own the smaller Apple Watch sizes and you are interested in a leather one try to get a replica or look for an official Apple Watch bands from eBay.

What face/s have you been using with yours? I did Wayfinder yesterday, my classic Ultra-specific band at work choice.
 
How’d you get double tour and the various Hermes Apple Watch bands for the larger models? Typically they are only available for the smaller 41/40 mm Apple Watch and 42mm S10.
I didn't. It's a 41mm band on a 45mm watch. I don't have a single 45 mm Hermes watchbands in my collection because nothing 45 mm fits me Me, with the exception of the extremely rare 45 mm double tours like Noir Gourmette Metal

Wait a minute the single tours for 45-49mm Apple Watch do not fit smaller wrists? No wonder they only have one size but they fit wrists 6.5 inches and larger. Did you swap the lugs out instead?
