I'm no expert & may be completely wrong, but the stitching on the underside doesn't look as uniform as on the original band?

Any issues using both Hermes and ultra watches back and forth? I know it's early but I git rid of my Hermes when the ultra came out thinking I'd only have a need for one Apple Watch. This year I want to pick up this fall's Hermes and keep ultra as well. To those who have had the two, what's your experience been?

That’s what I do.

I have a Hermes S7 and now an AWU. My only issue is I feel bad that my beautiful Hermes only gets out on my wrist once every 2 days whilst I charge the Ultra….

I don't have the Ultra, but I do switch out my series 7 Titanium with my series 8 Hermes SB nearly every day. No issues whatsoever. Keeps track of all my fitness data and everything seamlessly. These days I tell my friends there's no sense in selling your old watch because how nice it is to just keep it as a backup, and always have one available with a fresh charge.

Finally I got the remaining 3 Hermes bands I was chasing for so long.
I wanted them to be brand new, rang Hermes Au store and told them I’m happy to wait and somehow the Nylon ones came back in stock I think??
Grabbed the Bleu de France band as well to complete my Space Black collection hardware.
I’m happy now 😊

Are the Nylon bands suppose to be so hard to fit on/around to your wrist?
So far I tried the green one on and my goodness I felt like I was going to rip it apart to just try to put it on :/

Do you have cellular subscriptions for one of them (I don't think you can have two, can you)? Which did you choose to have cellular activated?

Interesting. Didn't realize that. I thought most (if not all) carriers limited it to one active. Good to know.

You can definitely have more than one watch active at the same time. You can even have more than one carrier AVAILABLE on multiple watches, provided the watches are not locked by the issuing carrier. What you cannot do is have more than one carrier ever ACTIVE and AVAILABLE on any SINGLE Watch, though you can have one carrier ACTIVE and AVAILABLE on multiple watches simultaneously. It all costs, of course, but you can have that flexibility if you need it.

I don't really use cellular on my watch. I did activate the Hermes at one point when I began training for a run, but never actually used it. Good to see some of the other responses though. I may want to do this at some point!

Anyone willing to trade a brand new orange Hermès sport band M/L strap with a S/M 45mm ?
Bought one for my Ultra but it's too long :confused:
I'm located in Europe. PM if interested

Hi all. Ultra owner with a couple of Hermés leather bands (Orange Swift single, Noir deployment).

Interested in getting a nylon - one of the Jumpings - but I’ve seen some comments here about the sizing. I wear my single tour on the smallest hole, and my wrist is ~165mm. Will the Jumping be too loose for me?

(and/or should I spend the extra $30 and get another leather? The Bambou is next on my list.)

Replying to myself in case anyone finds it helpful: my first Jumping nylon arrived today - I found a very good condition Kraft/Lime for less than half price - and on the smallest hole it fits me perfectly. Look forward to giving it a proper wear in coming days.

Side note: if you wait a year or so you can get any Hermes band for half off here on USA resale sites. Especially bec it seems some Apple employee is making ebay listings based on the Employee Special Deals storefront (or w/e it’s called) and just ordering from them to your address direct. We’ll see if he can still do that next time around. I guess they don’t limit that store because it’s the true liquidation.
