Thanks for clarifying. Things happens when you take "some days off". 🥺.

Photoshop seems to be the way to go then, even if I would prefer to have the original images only. The special bands for employees or the Nike Sport Band Light Bone/Black are done and added, the only two missing now are
  1. Hermès Single Tour Étain Swift Leather
  2. Hermès Double Tour Médor Deep Blue Swift Leather
I am ready to put the finishing touches on the new chart.

I am wondering if this is the new Leather Loop, or maybe a new type of a more affordable leather band. 🤔

it’s actually quite easy to photoshop the Etain one, I used Etoupe and tweaked the color of leather and stitchings separately...

i wonder if they will release the deep blue medor option officially next month, it just appeared very briefly on hermes.com and disappeared (the double tour even used an incorrect picture of the single tour!)...

I can confirm they will be released along with S6. I'm living in Vietnam, Apple is moving its accessories manufacturer to Vietnam. That's why I can have them.
 
Not a fan of the look of the raised bumps on the assumed new Leather Loop, but if this is what we will see with the Series 6, I will have to try one on and see how it feels.
I kinda like it. Almost retro in a way, maybe like old car seats? Not sure. How it looks on wrist I’m curious though.

Would love to see it on wrist as mentioned above. Curious the magnet strength too. I will say that I would LOVE a red leather loop in its current form. I also really dig the secondary tone on the sides. The white and brown one is slick.

Overall though I can’t say I love these. The bubble size is massive.

Happy to help!!!

Here the video of how strong the magnet is :)

I have most/all colours pictured here already as Classic Buckle leather bands, but I would surely get one of these just out of curiosity.

Looking at these some more, and giving it some more thought based on your comment I'm sort of agreeing. Initially I didn't like them at all, but I do see a sort of Barbarella vibe in them now.

I'm also still thinking they might be the kids' band, except the Saddle Brown colour isn't very kiddie.

I'm definitely very unsure at this point.

I don‘t think Apple would release leather bands as „kids‘ bands“. If these are real, I would guess they replace the current Leather Loops as a more rugged and „Watch hardware neutral“ (no silver hardware on these bands) version.

I don’t know; I can see them doing a Apple Watch JR(via software of course). The fact that this band would easily come off the wrist with a tug would be a selling point for children. I’d see that only with the 40mm model though and some of those say 44mm so not sure...

Someone else mentioned it could be a battery band...

Hmmmm! That would be something different.

Chargerstore just restocked his last Light Bone (with defects) in size 38/40mm for anyone who missed out on the first 3!

Guys, did Apple normally produce BLACK sport band with gold pin? (not speaking about the Edition one with real gold)
Nope, just the Edition.

They did however produce Cocoa with a Gold pin for one season. Looks very similar in some lights and I’ve seen it mislabeled.

Does anyone have side by side photos of the Nike platinum/white and grey/white bands by any chance?
 
Side by side. Platinum left and Grey right.

When shopping i find it easier to look at the lug color. The platinum white is the ONLY nike band without black pins.

Thank you for the photo and the tip! I quite like both of them. Looks like the white dots stand out more on the grey than they do on the platinum version.
