I just put a 3rd Noir band on my Christmas list (the double tour. I already have the double tour attelage and the single tour) lol!! I just love the elegance of the plain Jane.
I GOT THE 40mm DOUBLE TOUR IN FAUVE BARENIA 
I have the Double Tour Noir Attelage, Double Tour Noir, and as of last night… the beautiful Barenia.
First impressions - there is a difference between the Swift and Barenia leather. The Swift is much softer and the Barenia has an almost waxy texture. First time putting the Noir Double Tour on wasn’t easy as the band was stiff while the Barenia was a bit smoother. My Attelage was stiff initially but now it’s softer.
SCENT - wow the Barenia smells good! The Swift has a leather scent as well but the Barenia just smells better. When I sniff the Barenia I picture a gorgeous saddle with a beautiful patina.
Visually - I see the grain more easily on both Noir bands. I have to search for it a bit on the Barenia. The stitching on the Barenia is top notch.
Wearing all bands on the 3rd from smallest hole (though could probably use 2nd on Barenia).
I think my first day with the Barenia by my side will be tomorrow. Going forward I will absolutely have a hard time deciding which band to use for the day/week lol

thanks for sharing
This is my first Hermes Apple Watch, came from Series 6 aluminum. Man, the difference is everywhere. From the glass, to the heaviness of the stainless steel, to the elegant chimes/ haptics, to the clicks on the crown...it's everything and everywhere. And let me not forget about the watch faces. I think this is where it is most value added in the electronics. I finally feel like I'm wearing a premium watch rather than a gadget on my wrist. It literally took my breathe away the first few times I wear it. ?????
I love the orange box, so unboxing took me a long time. I'm so happy I went with double tour in Rouge H. It's both bold and demure. It's such a saturated reddish brown that goes well with a suit, with casual wear, with everything. And swift leather is soft, after a few uses, I already see it molding to my arm.
This Hermes Apple collaboration is amazing. Hermes brings it to a whole other level. I'm happy a waited a year. So I can really tell the difference between the most basic aluminum vs. Hermes SS. Impressive!

Looks like the start of a beautiful collection!
If at all possible, it would be nice to see a picture of this combo on your wrist.
I just purchased the 45mm Noir Double Tour from Hermès & the Noir/Bleu Électrique Circuit from Apple. I’ve been contemplating & didn’t want to miss out. Hopefully, the double tour fits. I heard it runs small.
The double tour does run small. My wrists are only 5.5 in, and it fits quite well. Double tour is so chic and beautiful, it elevates an entire look. I own it in the Rouge H, ALREADY thinking about getting it in gold. I will. I have some trade- in money from AW6. But I want to wait just a little bit so I can focus on my first band: Rouge H.
Is this the 41mm? The 45mm sits almost similarly on my wrist but I have to use the first hole for my wrist size!
Please assist. I can't believe I scored a Circuit H band in Biscuit. The color/ combo is just divine. Problem is, I wear the series 7 41 size, and still the band is too big for me, I'm on the first hole, and the watch still wiggles around my wrist (5.5 in). I can't even see the band when I'm facing down.
I thought this would be a nice addition to my double tour in Rouge H. Given that the band is thicker in width, single tour, and I'm missing the neutral/ gold color.
Should I keep this, or exchange it for the double tour in Gold? Because double tour runs small, it actually works for me perfectly.
Let me know your thoughts. This is purely an aesthetics question.
Be honest. Yay or nay.

Looks fine to me!
Just go to a Hermes store and ask them to add a hole for you. I do that with all my single tours.
Thank you, Sweet. Perhaps I'm overthinking. I just wanted another pair of eyes to see and judge for me. Yeah, adding a hole sounds great. There's an Herms store very close to me actually.
The Biscuit/Cookie color is stunning. Wow why didn't I get the Hermes Edition this year! ?
I think it looks great too. I love the biscuit color. It’s not a shade that Hermes has offered before in the Apple Watch and its becoming my daily band. It’s a keeper imo.
It looks great on you! Very elegant with a touch of something special. As long as it fits you comfortably, it gives you an entirely different look than another double tour would, which likely you will still be able to purchase far down the road.
