Can you ask for a black Hermès sport band if you have a S6 SS? I assume not?
Can you ask for a S/M piece even if you have a 44mm watch?
Got a tip for us?

Can you ask for a S/M piece even if you have a 44mm watch?
S/M 44mm pieces only exist from chargerstore I think, he seemingly gets them custom made like the non-canon gold pin bands with second gen colors I have or the Orange Hermes with black pin or gold pin.
And yes you can get any Hermes band with any watch it seems. I got black with a silver s4 today and my friend got both colors with his noir s6.
Does it need to have been purchased from the Apple store? I got my watch directly from Hermès since I wanted the ètoupe strap with it. I have realized I will never wear the orange sports band (not my style) that came with it and would love a black Hermès one instead.
No definitely not. Just needs to be attached to your Apple ID, or even just the serial number is enough I think.
Debating hard on getting this strap...Does anyone have one that I can see what it looks like?

Just do it ma‘an, get it if you feel it!
Strut it pun ya wrist and if it not good, return it. Only you can truly know if you’ll like how it looks.

It actually arrives inside a Birkin bag! /sWell damn! I wonder what type of packaging they come in. It’s probably too much to expect an orange box wrapped in bolduc ribbon
The bicolor are hard to photo on wrist but yes, you should get it.

My black g1 is super old and worn out but Hermes still feels darker
They definitely should have included the orange band with the SB watch.
Just did the same thing! Thank you for letting us know.
I wondered if we could have used the EPP discount since this usually makes the sport bands $6 cad cheaper. Forgot about it until after the purchase.
Just for reference sake, the rep says as long as you have an Hermes AW and the two sport bands (which fit your watch, ex. 44mm) are still available for purchase, then you can purchase it anytime. This means you can purchase it outside of your AppleCare+ period as well as it's just a sales purchase.
How'd you go about this? Just reached out to Apple Support that you wanted to buy another sports band for your Hermes AW?
I went through a bit of a hassle cause initially they thought I wanted to use AppleCare+ accidental use. But simply put just do this.
- Log into your apple support with your ID.
- Under your Hermes AW, create a new case under bands.
- Start a chat and say I would like to order a replacement Hermes Sports Band (Orange or Black)
- They will tell you they see the option to do so in their system and prepare the billing (59$ cad + 10$ shipping for me + Tax$) and it will be sent to your email to enter your CC and pay.
So this has nothing to do with AppleCare+. You just need to have the proper Hermes AW under your Apple ID in order for them to "equip" such accessory.
That's rather amazing about the Hermes sport bands. Good on you all for sleuthing that!
Now just lemme pay for that latest face for my Graphite SS and I'll be a happy camper

Just ordered my replacement orange sports band from Apple. it cost $60.61 charged to my Apple Card!! I have the black sports band but wanted the orange one because I sold the one I had with my series 4. Didn’t wanna pay ebay prices for another. Can’t wait to get it!, Thanks for the tip!,,
I paid $49 plus Los Angeles,CA tax and $6.95 shipping.

Long time envious lurker to this thread but can now officially join in!
What do the replacement bands come in? A blank white box? Or something with Apple or Hermès branding?
Was I lucky? The support guy just asked me for a serial number of an Hermes Watch, not even care if it is associated with my Apple ID. I told him my friend's watch serial so he could create the request and that's it
Just a blank white box with a sticker with the part number.

Hello everyone, I've just now joined the forum and would like to introduce myself. I only was a silent reader before and have now ordered my first Hermes editions (two because I couldn't decide on the size but will send one back, of course). Thanks for all your great pictures and knowledge. It helped me a lot because I don't have an Apple store or Hermes boutique near me. I'm only an Apple watch user since last April. Eventhough I've always liked to use many Apple products I never considered the Apple watch before because I preferred wearing mechanical watches. As it turned out I ended up wearing my Apple watch on a daily basis and even upgraded to a series 6 in September. But I always felt uncomfortable with the "cheap" materials and the light weight of it (the 40mm gold aluminum with light pink silicone band). I missed having that heavy and good looking watch feeling. Can't wait to go down this rabbit hole. ? Please excuse any mistakes in my text. English is not my native language.
So does anyone know if EPP discounts will apply? Apple Support already generated a replacement request for me at full price but they need someone local to call me tomorrow to confirm.
If there are no EPP discounts, I'll just pay for the replacement via the link they already emailed me.
