Me neither, until I accidentally turned the crown LoL
have you made any changes to the bindings?
or have you inserted them and they are there despite the size 49?
it starts to be interesting as well as cool 😎
Nah they’re all compatible without making any adjustments.
44/45/49 bands and watches are interchangeable
Very cool.
Also, most pictures of the Ultra display look like the visible screen area has been photoshopped into the frame, so crystal clear. Must be the flatness and/or brightness.
Also, the black border around the display is noticeably thicker than on the S7/8. I don't like that but the Ultra is obviously not about aesthetics 😜

Hmm, not really feeling this combination. To me, if I'm wearing Hermès bands, I'm wearing the Hermès watch. I just don't feel like the combination of Ultra + Hermès works. Just my opinion, if you like it its all good.
I agree with you btw. Just wanted to show how it looks and point out the band mismatch to 49mm.
For some strange reason, I love the look of Ultra and Hermes bands. It's the contrast that sort of works.
That band is a 44mm band though and the lugs did get slightly larger for the 45mm.
Which of your AW will you wear more the Ultra or Hermés? And that’ll be the AW you’ll have your AW cellular service on?
When you paired your Ultra did it ask if you wanted to move your AW cellular service to the Ultra? I wondering if it that easy … move cell service to Ultra while keeping previous Hermés AW also paired.
Every “mismatched” band on the Ultra that has been shared is either a 42mm or 44mm, not a 45mm, and there are slight size differences between the three. I’ve seen that the 49mm ocean band looks flush on a 45mm case, so I suspect the opposite should look fairly good.
You will NOT get prompted to move your service when pairing. Instead, you will need to do that when configuring your cellular carrier, but it's not difficult. If you are the account owner, you just "ADD" cellular to the Ultra through the watch App, and then once you've signed in and connected with your carrier, "REPLACE" your old watch with the new one. Depending on who provides your service, should be very easy.
It depends on carrier compatibility, whether they support Apple Watch transfer. I get a prompt at set up to Transfer Cellular Service when setting up a watch.

With a cellular connection on Apple Watch, you can make calls, reply to messages, receive notifications, and more — even while you’re away from your iPhone.

Nice! I have had watches on three US carriers and none of them offer the transfer. This would make it even easier to handle this otherwise cumbersome task. Here's hoping that it shows up stateside soon!
If any of you have the blue+black Jumping and the Ultra would be very interested in a pic thanks.
My first Hermes watch! I've always done just aluminum or stainless. I had to splurge this year coming from my series 5. I have the orange band on for the weekend but got the gold single tour band. The horse is just too cute and is what swayed me this year!

Jumping are tricky to photo edit, any blue+green band doubly so, especially with a big blue sky day…

That band colour and watch face colour combo look superb!
I wish I could get my Series 7 Hermes face on my Ultra watch. Really like the Hermes faces I had, which was a classic look and would great on the Ultra. Keep the Hermes or return the Ultra. A tough choice, as I don’t need them both. Really like the Ultra though and feels like something new from Apple.
