PSA: If you wear your Hermès leather bands on the last hole (tightest), the new Jumping bands will definitely be too loose on your wrist, even on the last hole. Shame, as I really liked the band I tried on (Kraft/Rouge).
Uh oh. I have a 44mm watch...I don't have any leather bands, but I wear the S/M Sport Band on the middle hole, 165mm wrist, size 5 Solo Loop is perfect....will the Jumping Band fit me?

Probably not. We seem to be „wrist twins“ as I wear the Sport Band on the exact same hole and my Solo Loops are size 5 as well. Maybe if you would be ok with wearing the Jumping band really loose … it‘s not like the Watch keeps disconnecting because the sensors are too far from the skin, but the strap will certainly shift up and down the wrist. Feels „airy“, though.
 
PSA: I would still try a Jumping. I too wear the S/M Sport on the middle hole. BUT! The clasp on the Jumping has a weirdly sharp corner on the side facing your skin; the corner closest to your hand. As a result I actually wear my Jumping on the 2nd to tightest hole. Keeps the corner from abrading my skin. Worst case you can return it if you buy it from Apple. Even better - go to an Apple Store if you can and try one on in person.

I agree it‘s best to try for yourself. Some people like to wear their straps pretty loose, too. And the Jumping bands are super nice IRL.

How do you guys find this briefly-being-on-sale combo of Black Steel S5 Hermes Watch, bundled with Rallye Noir band? Is it weird? Is it cool and rare? Is it a something?..

I have the old one with the silver hardware and it’s fire. The gala material reminds me of motorcycle leather. I don’t even have a 44mm black watch and I kinda regret not grabbing the noir/noir from JustAGuy on eBay when he had one for just under retail right after it came out.

Not sure what you're referring to? Where is that being on sale?

Not anymore. It was - briefly!

I got an Hermes SS S4 44mm which has an AppleCare+ expiring in Sept. Battery is sitting at 87% and watch is in mint condition. Has anyone recently used accidental replacements on their S4? Are they still being replaced with S4s? I would love to get the battery changed but I know Apple’s policy is to have it changed under 80%, so I’m guessing the accidental replacement route is the only way for me to go.
 
Or you can extend coverage…until you really need to do the swap. I still have AppleCare on my S3 Ceramic, despite having had the initial contract expire. Just sign up within 60 days of your current Hermes expiry and you’ll be set. Note that coverage is only month to month for the extension.

How much is month to month? I wonder if they offer that in Canada.
 
Noir/Bleu Saphir Jumping Single Tour
I posted these (with other non-H bands) in the "Every" thread, but I figure some folks here may appreciate this subset. I tried to capture the "shimmer" effect, particularly in the shot taken on the metal tabletop.

note: this addition is courtesy of a glorious find by @athousandbands

It is quite dark, although with the light it turns on a little. Black kills Bleu Saphir that fails to shine, for example in the Bleu Saphir / Orange version the blue is splendid.
then the Kraft / Rouge de Cœur and a notch above all, well-chosen colors!
 
Is there a way to spot a fake Hermes band? I have someone trying to sell me one and while they believe its official I was wondering if there is a way to tell if its a counterfeit band or not. Just curious if there was a way to spot a fake. Thanks!
