The background on the Orange circuit face isn’t quite Gold (I checked), but it’s pretty close. So satisfying to have it and Gold for the Fauve bands.
Got a tip for us?

I’ve been using the Noir Hermes face since I got my S7. Might just have to try the same face to go with my Fauve Barenia
Not sure what you're saying about it coming off. It's wrapped around the end of the band that ends in the buckle. Are you saying it's loose enough to slide over the buckle (and the static loop)? If so that's definitely not right. I have the blue/black and the lime/tan (sorry too lazy to look up the Hermes color names) and neither of them do that. I'd exchange it...
The two noir/bleu saphir jumping bands I got had free loops that were loose too. I returned the first one but the second band I bought had the same issue. It might just be a bad batch but if you do return or exchange yours just know that you might get another that has the same issue too.
My new Noir. This is truly black.
New Lime. I think I got crazy with all this bands.
Love the color, but this one came defective. The strap is too thick that you have to push hard to make it fit on the buckle. This would damage the leather a way sooner.
Scored some good quality second hand bands!

For now it has me feeling great about not going in on Fall 2021, especially because it matches the Rouge H face anyway
Just got the last one that I wanted from apple: Navy 45mm. Honestly, this is my favorite among all the colors. It looks very elegant.
I also reserved an appointment with Hermes today to compare the color with navy 44mm (they still have in stock there). I had the impression that the 44mm is a bit lighter. So I’m going to double check.
In line with comparing the hero shots in September this one does look like a little brighter and more colorful.
I was just looking through the Watch app to see what other faces I wanted to add. I thought I’d check out the gradient. 1 of the first colors under that option is light orange/cream. 3 colors to the left of that is an orange color called Hermès. There are a few other faces with the same color option as well. Am I seeing this color option because I have the Hermes version or is this something that’s always been available?
Just Hermes. Nike similarly has Volt on the regular faces. Great attention to detail from apple.
Here I took another pic of the navy band in daylight . It looks even more beautiful
Very good to know. So it got that tag because it’s not been discontinued and it’s received the new lug shape, as someone surmised upthread.
Looking now I see very much not new Fauve Deployant also has the New tag, so there you go. Now they just need to explain the stealth update to the red braided solo loop. By some twisted logic perhaps the New tag there would have made it seem like a rebadged Red1?
What do you mean with new lug shape?
I compared both 44 and 45 en they were exactly the same.?
Maybe shape isn’t the right word, more the dimensions.
