Apple generally ships all the colors in fall/spring updates. Even when they waited to release bands in winter/summer instead of all at once like they do now.
I am not talking about band colors. I am talking about Watch face colors via Watch OS 8.6. Someone asked if there were new Watch face colors to match the previously, but relatively recently released band colors.

I’m not talking about band colors either. Sorry I meant ship in the software sense. And update in the software sense.
Was the orange/bleu saphir only available in 45mm? Haven’t been able to find a 41mm version!
Yes. The orange/rose Mexico is the one exclusive to the 40/41mm watch.

I generally don’t clean the Swift/Gala beyond just patting them down after use. But I guess I prefer a damp cotton swab, leather quickly dried by the opposite end of the swab.
So this happened to my Fauve Barenia… I don’t remember getting it wet at all!
So it’s ruined right? I left it out to dry but the stain seems to be there permanently

HOLY MOLY! Maybe it wasn’t water. If it was it should have dissappeared.
If that ends up being permanent maybe try having it dyed black.
What’s the best way to get uniform darkening? Will kiwi leather conditioner work?
Do you know what it was that got on your leather band? For leather goods, I always use Apple Guard on my designer handbags.
But do call in to Hermes and ask how they would condition it, or take it in. Good luck!
I would bring it to Hermès and let them tell you definitively that it’s either unable to be repaired or, perhaps, they can condition it to be slightly more uniform. But I wouldn’t try anything on your own because it could make it worse.
It seems like gold swift is gonna stick around for awhile as a replacement for fauve, so they’ll have some new ones soon at Apple/Hermes
Thanks for the response everyone.
I dropped off the band at my local Hermes store and they can't fix it in store. They said it'd take 2-4 weeks to give me a quote to repair, and another 6 MONTHS to send it to Paris to actually repair it (incurring fees etc). Sounds a bit over the top... I thought they'd just apply some leather lotion or balm out the back of the store.
I guess I'll just tell them I don't want it repaired once they send through a quote.
Understand. Yeah, the time frame they are quoting you is insane.
Over half a year on, how are my S7 peeps doing with the “extra” space not filled in around the numerals on the Hermes face?
