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?

Pretty much all of the 45 mm Hermes stuff will support 165 mm wrist as the smallest size. My wrist is 152 mm

with that said, if you have a Hermes Leatherwatchband, you can take it to any Hermes store and get an additional hole punched for free to basically make it either 5 mm bigger or 5 mm smaller. Some bands you might be able to add as many as two additional holes, space permitting of course, and if you try to make it smaller by two holes you start to run into other issues with regards to fitment since the band is narrow where the holes are and becomes fatter as it gets to the watch connecter bit meaning that at some point you can't add any more holes because the bands will no longer fit into the buckle.

you can't easily swap the lugs either, not only because sourcing a pair of lugs means having to steal them from a different Hermes band which will make them worth nothing at that point, but also because bands for the bigger watches are physically wider than the ones for the smaller watches meaning that smaller lugs on bigger band physically will not fit

Or a classic or modern buckle. Technically nicer lugs as they aren’t the MfW

They should still let you get single tour adjusted with extra holes as Hermes still sells leather straps. The Apple Store does not sell them anymore as they are doing the carbon neutrality thing and discontinued all leather products.

You can punch an extra hole or two at a Hermes store for free. I've done the process on some 45 mm bands and even after punching two extra holes to make it smaller, it still does not fit my wrist so I've forever abandoned the idea of 45 mm bands. It pains me because there are some bands that exist only in 45 and I would absolutely kill to have

Same thing with Apple Watch Ultra bands and any m/l bands for Apple Watch ⌚️. I tried on the ultra and yes the bands fit my wrist but they still leave so much room for me. A small trail loop i still had to pull it all the way up, including Milanese loop. I wear a size 3 solo loop and the third hole of the s/m sport band, how about you?
 
My new dark Cherry sport band! 💜 I do think it’s a lot like the plum 2024 one, especially in sunlight. It’s a bit more muted, but you have to look closely I find.

I was switching between the mulberry and this dark Cherry one today and I noticed the mulberry band is bigger, I’m between two holes on that band, while the other bands I have all dit perfectly in the middle hole. Did anyone else notice this? The bands are the same length, only the material feels a bit different/ more supple on the mulberry.

That looks fire! Isn’t that band for the 49mm Ultra though? Those bands fit the 46mm watch? If so. That’s awesome.

Yes it is technically made for the Ultra as you can see I posted it on the Ultra as well above. It looks great with both!

Yes any band that’s for the Ultra (49mm) can fit the 46mm and vice versa. Also of course 45mm, 44mm and OG 42mm bands work.

Does anyone have the comparison photo between the Denim Braided Solo Loop, Abyss Blue Braided and the old Denim Sport Band?
I am choosing between Denim Braided Solo Loop or Ultramarine Solo Loop for my new Watch. Seems the color of Ultramarine is really but I have never had solo loop before. I am not sure if I would like the texture of it. (Made of Silicone may become sticky after few use?)
And I don't have any Blue Braided Solo Loop in my collection. But I have seen the comparison between Atlantic Blue and Denim. Definitely not a fan of Atlantic Blue.
Thanks.
