44mm
Thanks for this it’s the 40mm, unfortunately they won’t ship to the UK so will keep an eye out, I appreciate you having a look for me

Sure, no problem. It’s a very common band so I’m sure one will turn up before long!

If all else fails, the current Deep Navy band is very close to Midnight Blue. I prefer Midnight though because it’s a bit less saturated.

hermes is synonymous with leather. those in nylan can be kept. they are unpresentable. luckily they have presented us a new attelage from (44). let's see if any other colors will be presented on the site (44)

They look good but also… who does Hermès think they are selling nylon bands for $319 lol
They’re a company who sells $10,000 blankets and $100,000 purses. Prices are normally insane.

The Hermes AirTag keychain costs $349, which is more than a band even though it has less materials.f

I do agree though that the pricing of only a few dollars less than their high quality leather is whack.

Yeah I love my leather bands and find them worth the price. Could not see myself spending $20 less for a woven nylon band though. The ones Apple used to sell back in the S2-S3 days frayed like crazy along the edges with limited use.

Hermès AirTag keychain comes with a laser-engraved AirTag too

This has my name written all over it

I'm going to give Hermes the benefit of the doubt and assume these are better quality than a $50 band. Plus for me, this is an every day wearing band compared to the leather bands

we are talking about nylon not leather. these are not made in France but in China. with nylan the quality does not emerge. that is also the doubt that they will be sold on hermes.com, out of dignity towards Hemes.

They’re up on hermes.com right now...

I doubt Hermes would allow these to be sold if they weren’t behind the product.

Well I’ll take the plunge. Will report back once I receive it.

Will be interesting to see the quality, location it’s made in, packaging, etc.

As someone else said, this could be a good everyday band.

I can always return it with up to two weeks of usage?

Disappointed that we didn’t get more 44mm spring leather options though. In fact, there are only 3 44mm single tour leather colors now. A sign of the future to come? A 44mm Rose Mexican single tour would have been a lot of fun.

No new colors for the watch faces either?

Yeah I think relative to the other items they sell, the price of these Hermes nylon bands is not that surprising. However, relative to the price of their leather bands, it seems like these are priced too high. But, what do I know really? Both Apple and Hermes are generally experts at pricing their products. Time after time I have thought something Apple has made has been crazy overpriced and then it turns out to be exactly what the market will bear.

While I’m disappointed there’s no new 44mm leather colors, they did drop a lot of rainbow colors in the fall. Def could see myself in a Mexico nylon for the right price on eBay.
I too disappointed with these nylon straps and in fact bought one in navy leather

I was looking forward to new leather colours but then saw the nylon bands.
A bit disappointed. Also can’t believe they’re charging almost the same price as the leather bands.
Like everyone said, Hermès is synonymous with high quality leather but nylon? Nah. Does Hermès sell nylon products themselves?
