Only had it on briefly but looks very “springy” and a bit more “sporty” as promised! Leather feels great as ever.

Has anyone tried placing a 41mm strap on 45mm lugs for a 45mm watch? I'm tempted to get the Rose Azalee/Noir Casaque but worry it may look odd.

I’m tempted to buy the new Casaque Rouge/Saphir, but I already own 2 jumping bands with Bleu Saphir. Do I need more of the same blue? I guess it is different though. If these new bands are based around the Hermes scarves (which are stunning) I feel they could have tried harder.

It may be a long shot, but... Does anyone have a 45mm Hermès Noir/Gris Clair Jumping Band that they would like to sell? I would give it good home. 😀

UPDATE: I found one here thanks to a kind forum member.
Well, thanks to a kind member here, I have a new (to me) Hermès Noir/Gris Clair Jumping Band. I will have to play with more watch faces to see what works well with this band. Here are 3 that seem feasible. Please let me know if you have any others that work with this band.

I might need to order another one! I’m gonna wear this band out! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yes, was thinking the same. It's easy to wear this band out because you won't take it off. Hahaha. ;):):D

When you take more photos, can you place your watch against a backdrop of different pinks (bags/ scarves, candy, flowers...etc)? I'd like to know exactly what kind of pink it is.

If you place it against this sea of pinks, which does it resemble more?

How do I turn off Focus (Do Not Disturb, Personal, etc) status that’s on top center of Apple Watch display? Thanks in advance.

On your watch scroll up and touch the moon icon… also if you have it set on your phone in settings go to focus and turn it off or reset the times to suit your desired time

There’s a quick toggle in the control center on the Watch but if you don’t want the focus mode of your iPhone mirrored on the Watch at all, you can turn that off by going to the Watch app on your iPhone and then General > Focus > turn off Mirror my iPhone.

If you just want to hide it while keeping a focus mode on, I don’t think that’s possible.

Since none of the new Spring bands appealed to me, I bought a band from a fellow member.

Do you think the silver hardware works with the black case?

I use a variety of Hermes bands. Some leather. Some jumping. Some with black hardware. Some with silver. They all work and compliment the Watch on their own way. Try to enjoy the watch without getting overly concerned. CHILL. Also asking strangers for advice is not as good as deciding for yourself. If the black Watch with silver band hardware bothers you then the band is not for you. I like your new band with your watch, but only you can decide.

Is it true that the jumping bands are bigger than the Hermes leather ones? I am on the last hole of the 41mm leather bands… does that mean I can’t wear the jumping bands at all?

Thanks for the feedback.

The reason I ask others for their opinion when it comes to aesthetics is that I am really bad in this area. I am more comfortable with the function or technological aspects things. Picture a guy wearing plaids and stripes together. 🤣

I am not sure about length difference. The problem is that if need be, you can’t make new holes in the Jumping, according to Hermes.

The Buckle side of both bands are the same size. On the other side, the jumping band holes start about 1/2 hole back, away from the lug. The overall length of the jumping strap seems to also be about 1/2 hole longer.

The overall sizing is the same but the position of the buckle is shifted between the two by about a half size. So you shouldn’t have an issue, the buckle might just be a little closer to the center of the underside of your wrist with the nylon instead of the leather.

Edit: Actually no the nylon is a hair longer as dmccombs mentions right above, my bad. The nylon material is stiffer than the leather so it isn’t as flexible and pretty much feels the same size to me though.

I have black and love the look of the silver lugs, especially with the brightly colored and black bands. I should add that I almost exclusively use faces where the background is mostly black so it visually reads as a full black watch face. Not a black watch face with a black bezel around it. I hope that makes sense lol.
