Is Rouge de Coeur pretty close to plum? This is the one color that makes the lack of pattern on the bottom ok, until someone posts Mexico Jumping.
Was originally eh with the new Jumping Single Tours and price but perceptions changed when the first of two arrived. Ja I'm liking these a lot, more so than I expected. The woven textile is tightly woven, substantial and conforms to my wrist nicely.
Should they have been price less, yes but loving the Noir/Bleu Saphir with Hermès Noir. Can't wait for the Bleu Saphir/Orange to arrive and pair with the SS S6 Hermès. Will definitely add the Rouge de Cœur/Rouge H after my iPP 12.9 M1 LTE and new white MGK splurge.

Jumping Single Tour: Not any kind of review, but a first impression, and a very positive one. In comparison to the discontinued Woven Nylons, the band feels surprisingly smoother on the surface, and is overall also more sturdy and stiffer—at least out of the box. Still comfortable to wear, at least for the few minutes I had the chance to today, but in general, leather is softer on the skin.
It's probably similar in terms of quality and feeling like comparing Apple's Leather bands with Hermès Leather and now the Woven Nylons with Hermès Nylon. The jump in manufacturing/material quality and excellent tactile qualities comes with a jump in price.
I wish Noir/Bleu Saphir would have silver lugs, but I like the Bleu Saphir/Orange a lot.

@rosegoldoli beautiful! even blue deserves a lot.
@choreographics beautiful combination. I also like Kraft / Rouge De Cœur a lot.
let's see when the hermes it site will be updated with the new belts.
I will probably take one between Kraft / Rouge De Cœur and Orange / Bleu Saphir but I haven't quite decided yet
~$500 nylon band has premium feel to it, haha, it better.
The longer band is a kind of plum Color, but without blue, more of a darker brownish red. The combinations of red fit perfectly with the color of the crown ring.
Picked up my Blue Saphir/Orange just now and the colour does really pop!
The nylon feels more supple than Apple ones (one would hope for the price). It’s quite stiff where the holes are and a bit difficult and slide the tongue into the hoops on the other end. Regular use should soften this up.
Just a heads up to other smaller wrist owners who have the 44mm watch. I always get an additional hole added to my Hermès leather bands. But when I took band to Hermès just now, they said they can’t add another hole as that might damage the nylon strands. Hopefully it doesn’t slide down my wrist too much. The added thickness of the two nylon pieces when wrapped around the wrist might help.

That last one, in which the diagonal stripes frame the face perfectly, is giving me Hogwarts neckties. Which are basically “rep ties” right?
Great pictures! Looks very, very nice.
Are the lengths of the two parts of the strap and the placement of the holes identical to the Hermès leather straps?
Edit: Just noticed that the Bleu Saphir/Orange is already sold out in the german Apple Store! ? This colour combination seems to be the clear favourite.

Just put the two against one another - The distance from the tongue tip to the holes are the same, but the end with the metal lug is slightly longer on the nylon band, by maybe 2-3mm. Same on the other piece. So they’ve accounted for the thicker material so you can use the same hole along the band.
Thanks a lot for checking! I use my 44 Hermès straps on the last hole and they are just snug enough to not bother me. Any looser and it would bother me, so it‘s good to know that the fit of the Jumping is basically identical.
Posted (as part of a larger photo set) to the "every" thread, but I suppose these should go here..

Happy for you, really. But I still don’t get the appeal of these bands let alone the price tag.
I know this isn’t the place but i know there are people interested here. Received the iPhone 12 Hermès case today. Here are pics of it and packaging it came in as well as it next to the apple saddle brown leather case.
What is your dream release for apple/hermés?
I absolutely love the bambou color, but I want to see that or something similar in a double tour. I’m waiting patiently.

For those who received their new Hermès nylon bands, can you share what’s the country of origin for these bands? Curious which country these are made in. Thanks!!
