@athousandbands Which Apple Watches do you own? Are all the ones in the pictures, your or renders? Curious. Thanks.

I post renders to the Concepts thread but everything else is real. Since I’ve gotten color-specific editing, some of the bands might look a little CGI relative to the rest of the photo.
Collection: SSS7 Hermes, GSS4, Starlight7 Nike, GSS7, Ceramic 5
I can’t compare, but I have three Hermes Jumping bands and am very satisfied. Many bands cause a skin rash for me, but not the Hermes ones. I can wear their Jumping or leather without issue.
My Christmas present to myself. Étoupe double buckle cuff 😍
I’m planning to order a replacement orange sport band for my SBSS Hermes S8, what does FAE stand for?
Tried searching to no avail
Edit: replacement ordered, still interested to know what FAE stands for

Has anyone successfully ordered a replacement Hermes Sport Band like this in the UK? If so how did you go about it? Thanks.
I’m currently in Australia but live in NZ but it should work anywhere I imagine
I just started a chat via the apple support app, going into my watch > bands and accessories > Message. I think this method assumes you want sales support, but they’re closed today anyway.
Asked the bot to speak with a human then my conversation with the agent was something along the lines of:
“Hi there, I’ve got an Hermes Apple Watch and I’ve somehow lost the sports band that came with it. Watch serial number is <serial #>
I’d like to order a replacement sports band, I believe the replacement part is called “Hermes Orange, 45mm, Sport Band””
Then they asked if I was after a replacement band, I said yes the Hermes Orange, 45mm, Sport Band
They said yep they’re happy to organise this, confirm your name, address, phone number, email
They asked why I was after a replacement, I said I lost the other one
They then organised the replacement and I got the email for payment now I’m just waiting for it to ship
The replacement band name is the same as the screenshots from @sdarren7
Will give it a go when I can. Thanks for your help and HNY!
All good, hopefully it works as easy for you as it did me
Happy new year to you too 🎉
Yeah, I did it for my Hermės SBSS8 in the UK.
I remember ignoring the phone calls, you can spend 10 hours on phone calls, and no one can help you.
Do it through the Apple Support app, only in-app chat. Give them your Apple ID and Hermès serial number and ask them to buy a replacement Hermès sport band - choose the colour and size. If they offer you a phone call or another model watch band - ignore it and try another moment with another in-chat guy.
I remember that they should ask me why you wanted the placement band; I said because I damaged my band. Later in the same chat would ask you if you want to pay “through email” - say yes, and that is.
Edit: around 30 minutes of chat and it cost me £55.00 for the orange 45mm.

Really nice deal on a gold swift 45, esp if you can offer low:
Did the same today and got the confirmation: new black Hermes sport band coming 😇Yeah, I did it for my Hermės SBSS8 in the UK.

Been successful 3x so far. On orange band #3 and black band #1.
Side note: does anyone feel the orange sport band stains easier than expected? I just cleaned all the stains off a month ago and some are already coming back.
Space Black is a shiny black
Of course under certain lighting it looks a little lighter but be assured it’s black
As an update I've just spent the last 50 minutes on the support chat and the first advisor didn't know what I was on about so passed me to the technical team. This advisor was better and all was going well until nearly the end when they wanted me to confirm that I wanted a 41mm Sport Loop in Spicy Orange! A quick no and reiterating that I wanted a 45mm Hermes Orange Sport Band was fortunately all it took to get things back on track. All in all it cost £56.44 delivered and a little bit of time and perseverance.
Thanks to all on here who helped with this as I didn't even know there was an Apple Support App until now!

What is everyone’s favorite Jumping band, going by firsthand experience or just the picture on Bandbreite?
Granting recency bias and face-color match (especially Lucky Horse), I think Bleu Lin/VV has jumped ahead of Noir/Gris and Rouge/Rouge. Also maybe it’s seasonal, that frosty blue and subdued green are perfect for post-holidays winter up in this hemisphere.

Noir/Gris will always be my number one, unless there’s some sort of Noir/Béton down the road.
I have the Kraft/Orange and the Rouge Sellier/Bleu Saphir (Summer and a winter one). Really tempted with a Bleu Lin/VV. Really tempted.
It’s really special. I was really lucky to get it for even less than old LeLoo pricing
I’d love to have Blue Lin/VV, but Hermes does not make it for the smaller watch. I think there are 4 that are only made for the larger watch, so I’ve never seen those 4 in person.
