Nice. What's the packaging like that comes with it? Is it the cool orange one? Does it have a plastic case like the Link Bracelet?

It's the standard Hermes band packaging. Orange box. Suede case for the band.

It's really the perfect color for those looking for that luxury band and want some pop. I'm glad I waited and didn't buy the older colors that didn't really do much as far as standing out. It's also great for males and females. Color looks great in all lighting.

Not sure if they sold out but Hermes USA website doesn't have the yellow anymore.

I ended up returning the Bleu today. The color and texture just didn't do it for me. I was bummed...but now I have my eye on the Covert and the Etoupe bands. I would love to see some real life pics of either one if anyone has them.

I'm not gonna lie I think the yellow looks awful. I love Hermes and own many of their product lines but the yellow band is definitely not for me.

So some people like the Lime Epson while others don't.

I haven't seen anyone mention the other new 42mm Hermes band yet; the Colvert Swift.

What are the feelings on the Colvert Swift? Anyone purchase one yet?

I'm not a fan of that color either. I'm not sure why they didn't release some new bands with epsom leather. That's one of my favorite Hermes leathers and they could have done gold or something similar to that.

I had to Google the Hermes Colvert to get an idea of the true color. I think it's a nice blue. I wish it was in Epsom, though.

The Apple photos make it look greenish.

Sorry if this has been covered... I just bought a 42mm Hermes with the saddle brown deployment. I am already worried about it getting scuffed or wet. Does anyone recommend a good treatment or cleaner for the saddle brown color? I don't want to darken the strap if possible. I can already see a small blemish on the band, not sure if that was there when it came or not.

It's going to darken. The fauve does that. Mine is way darker than when it was new. I wear it every day. Nice patina to the leather. Buttery soft. I would not let worries about darkening get to you because it's not going to stay that color unless you rarely wear it.

Haha, I didn't know it was a sensitive subject I apologize. I bought it on the apple website, they have them available there. Just ordered through the ipad Apple Store app. Are you waiting to buy at the Hermes store? They weren't available in my local Apple Store.

I'm checking the UK Apple Store constantly throughout the day and even have left my details at the local Hermès store, still nothing after 3 weeks...

Seeing it in the US actually makes me feel a little better, hopefully a few will come across the pond soon!

I was wondering why they were so hard to find a review on them. When I purchased it last week, I wanted to see some reviews and I couldn't find anything on YouTube. I did find one online article which was positive. I made the jump without seeing it first, and I love it. Good choice so don't give up hope.

I tried the normal one without the deployment, but sent it back as this is the one I really want, just playing the waiting game now. Can't wait though, they look awesome!

I added AppleCare + which is 3 years, so hopefully it will cover any band issues. I want this thing to last... The thing that actually sealed the deal for me was the included orange sport band, which sounds silly but true.

I don't blame you, the deployment buckle is so unique. You cant see the metal clasp when wearing at all. Truly a work of art went into this band. Very comfortable as well.
