Hey folks is this band fake? I think it might a TaoBao “good” fake. And the “I just bought this on eBay” line is one I’ve read before on a fake as a not-so-subtle dodge for future disputes. The Hermes embossing looks like crap and the under color and stitching feel wrong, even though they look clean. Obviously the color+size screams “wait, I never existed”...
The embossing and font look real to me. But I never buy any Hermès bands online without original box or receipt.

Yeah if hermes straps came with the faces I'm sure more people would buy BUT i also feel it would devalue an hermes apple watch device

Really enjoying my new Hermes. And the Double Tour looks fine on a skinny, male wrist!

I’ve now found myself with two of the indigo/rouge rallye bands in 42/44mm. before I put it on eBay... does anyone here want it? I’m the second owner, and the first had an additional hole punched, which bothers me a bit, but may not bother anyone else as much! DM me.

What a great look with the Ceramic! The awesome thing about this thread is I would have never considered the “Jaune” but you got me to completely rethink it. Thanks for the great photos.

Yeah, like he couldn't make his own pics. Well some people are just super lazy. In the colour case Hermès moves in mysterious ways.
Ahaha I bet you do.
Uncontested auctions are the secret magic of eBay. Can’t say I was dying for Navy 40mm as I have the Marine Eperon 44mm, but I’m just not built to turn down a $159 brand new band. The mock-up checks out:

Some Japanese reseller just dumped a bunch of new and gently used bands on eBay. A page or two worth. They are priced very high though.

Anyone worried about the rumor from Kuo that the Apple Watch will see a redesign? Could that mean different sized lugs that wouldn't be compatible with existing bands?

Have you got a link? :)

Took advantage of the surf blue sport band sale.
Looks great with the craie/bleu watch face!

Thinking of getting grapefruit or pink sand to match the rose sakura face... which pink band would match that face better?

Neither pink sand quite has the pink punch to it. Flamingo and Grapefruit work nicely and mellow yellow ain’t bad for craie. Antique white also too weak there.

love the double tour! I feel like more guys should wear, but then again they do make them for very small wrists only for some reason. I'm lucky i can fit into them

Basically the Watch will adopt the same design as the iPhone/iPad, squared-off edges. That's my bet.
That's my guess. Same band sizes, flat edges, so bigger display/smaller bezels/thinner(?).

I'd assume that unlike the dock connector there is too much of a marketplace for bands now that changing the lugs would blow it all up, so the S0-6 bands would fit but may not match the contours, much like how 38/42mm bands 'fit' but in the case of some, like the older nylon straps/original Hermes lugs, don't match up 100%.
