Does anyone remember what month spring bands are announced, and when they are for sale (if different)?

Yes but also just no event crap. Just drop them alone bb
Yeah that would certainly be preferred. Probably depends on if the MacBook Air redesign is ready to go by the spring. If it is, I bet there will be an event. New AirPods on their own (or with a tweaked iPhone SE) would probably not be enough to warrant anything other than a press release.
 
I am on the fence with a Jumping Band. I really want a Hermès strap that I can use for workouts and everyday that isn't leather, but feel a bit aggrieved to pay £319 for a Nylon strap. What is the quality like? I see the Orange/Blue is back in stock in the UK Apple store and am tempted, but for a bit more I could get another nice Hermès leather strap and I already have about 20 sport bands as well as 6 Apple leather ones.

Oh first world problems.
I use the jumping band for swimming in the ocean, stand-up paddling, gym. It holds up well and feels more comfortable than the sports band.

It is super comfortable for wintersports as well

Curious to know which are your favourites?
very hard to say! different moods… for the stainless S7, the etain/beton with the print and the new blue lin are in heavy rotation. love the indigo/rouge rallye. orange with attelage is a classic.

for the black s6, the noir rallye is my most worn by far. the new circuit h in noir and bleu is a recent favorite.
 
status of the hermes collection after fall and winter updates! (not pictured, original noir with stainless from S4 hermes, a couple hermes sport bands, and lots of apple and nike bands!)
Beautiful. I had no idea they did a brown strap for the black SS! I really need to find one of those. Do you know what season it released?

they didn’t! that’s the result of combining a noir/sbss with a ebene/ss deployment. you get the one shown plus a noir with ss deployment. any good watch or jewelry shop can do it, or you can do it yourself if you’re brave and have tiny tools. some hermes shops will do it for you also. i have a few other combinations in mind, nothing crazy, but i’d like some more sbss choices.

I was thinking exactly the same, thanks for clarification.
Where did you get the black clips from?

Ah thanks for the info! Very nice idea, I may have a go at that. At the same time, i really hope Hermes increase the amount of Space Grey bands going forward!
 
Love it. I just bought the Rouge Piment.
Does anyone have the Colvert or Bordeaux? I would like to get those colors??

Does anybody know of the Jaune Ambre and Anemone ever existed in 42/44/45?

Also, I’d like to have the Rouge H , but I don’t like attelage?

Any guesses, speculation, insider-knowledge as to what the spring colors might be?

I’ve said before, I would love to see Mykonos (and, of course, in Attelage).
 
So I've come across the opportunity to get the Fauve Barenia band / deployment band for a special price, but already have a Gold Swift. Is the quality of the leather different enough to go for it, or would I be better off saving for another color or something else? I know it patinas to a darker color but I'm hesitant to have my first two Hermes bands be brown and... brown... haha. Pls convince me. And for context I don't plan to collect bands at any rapid speed so each one would make a big difference.

Both are very similar. People won’t notice. You would feel and look like using the same watch.
I would advice you to go for Noir, or something very different, so you feel like a complete different watch.
 
So this happened. A screw detached. Luckily the watch was not damaged. The Apple store doesn’t have the right screwdriver but helped me assemble it back, the Hermès store in Zurich is now checking and servicing the band. (actually they send it to their ateliers).

Update: Hermès kept the band and gave me a voucher for a new one. Thinking about which simple tour Jumping band to get. Tending toward https://www.hermes.com/ch/fr/produc...-hermes-simple-tour-45mm-jumping-H0006021vAC/
