Like the new Hermès band colors.
I'm sad the Noir Single Tour seems to have gone away. I wasn't going to buy it anyway, but I'm sad that it's no longer available for me to not get. Would have looked lovely with Space Gray or Space Black watches. If it had been, say, $150, I'd have grabbed it, but I really can't justify $300+ on a band, even if it's Hermes.

I wish the OEM bands were offered at 210mm as I find 195mm a bit too tight. I have been fortunate to find the third-party bands at 210mm which I find more comfortable to wear. Hopefully they will release a Noir version as well as the new colors.

I have a question.... but first thank you SO MUCH for updating this. You're awesome!

How do you know where to put the new bands in relation to the old colors? and I ask because sometimes its not until I get the bands next to the ones I own that I know the exact color. On this batch, I was wondering if the new pomegranate band will be closer to dragon fruit like you have it.... OR will it be closer to Rose Red... Its hard for me to see from just the apple photos.

They are totally worth it. Ruins regular leather.

can share a review on the hermes bands? super on the fence about getting it cos of the price, but i'm too noob at leather appreciation to know if it's worth it. Any perspective to share? thanks!

I would ask in the Hermes thread, better and more opinions. To me I would say great quality but obviously to some not worth $330+.

Normally I'm placing the new bands according to the color in the pictures first, but sometimes I would adjust the order according to the colors IRL in a later iteration. So after I get to see the new bands, I might upload another version, haha.

The thing is, I'm willing to concede that they're worth $330+, its just that I can't justify spending that much on a single watch band, when there are so many other things I ought to spend it on.

I am going with Rose Red and Dragonfruit had a baby for Pomegranate.

Pomegranate just came in and this is actually spot on! It is almost as dark as Rose Red, but with a strong dash of Pink thrown in. It's not nearly as pink as Dragonfruit, though. The hue is actually closest to the Pink Fuchsia classic buckle, but darker. I love it already!
 
Very nice, I love it with that gold. I already have spearmint though and it might be too similar to justify...
If you look at the update to "Apple Watch Bands.jpg" on the previous page, it sits in between Mint and Spearmint in hue, and somewhat lighter and less saturated than either (though more saturated than Turquoise).

Darn it! That sounds a lot more enticing than Apple's pics. I'll have to go take a look. Still, gonna take a lot to win me away from Dragonfruit. That and Black/Pink Blast Nike turned out to be my favorites of the last couple of waves (along with Pine Green - a very grayish pastel green that has really grown on me).
