this 2 look so similar:
the Etoupe and Origin. The only difference I see is that the Etoupe has white stitches.

The only Hermes direct leather band I'm interested in is this one with the additional stitch and the two metal buttons.
Love this promo shot.

But the stitch seems to get very close to the holes of the band - Doubt they can add another hole for me

Now need to decide between this and the orange Kilim rubber band.
Darn it!
I totally love this band.
So sad it doesn't offer 41mm size.
The rest of my bands are 41mm
Sorry Apple but this year I will buy my watch directly from Hermès.
If I should upgrade at all. Doesn't look like it's worth it.
My battery health is still at 100%.

To me he looks exactly how I imagine the typical luxury customer to be: bored to f*** already 5 minutes after getting the newest toy.
Same here. I think Apple and Hermes are bound to drift apart within a few years. Some of the bands look fine, don’t get me wrong, but this is becoming too un-Hermès and clearly not as luxury/premium looking, so I think it won’t make sense for them to keep going (I suspect Hermes are exploring other smartwatch or hybrid-smartwatch options, as other luxury brands and some Swiss watchmakers have been doing).

Have a look at the Hermès website. They have a few new SB band options there.
All this time they’ve yet to offer a deployment buckle in SBSS, perhaps spring or next fall they’ll finally do it if the band style sticks around.
Yes, but they are all disappointing, I don't like any of them.@JanoschR: I mean the Hermès bands shown on Apples own website. Only one of these is available for my SB SS (45mm).
Bridon looks like something they made out of Grandma old socks. And Kilim looks like a cheap 3rd party band where they really wanted to integrate the deployment buckle somehow.

Ok I’ll have to take back what I said about Apple not allowing Hermes to sell their own leather band

Hermès Debuts Apple Watch Series 9 Collection Including Leather Bands
Hermès has debuted its new Apple Watch Series 9 case and band collection, including some new leather band options not available from Apple's...
www.macrumors.com
My order is in. Silver Series 9 with Kilim Noir.
Looking forward to everyone's pics in about 10 days.

I ordered both a regular stainless and SB stainless. I’m keeping one or both.
See the news article today. Hermes is still selling leather bands for Apple Watch Series 9 on its website. They even have some new ones.
Couldn’t disagree more. We have more new band styles than we’ve ever had in a single launch. Most years we just get different colors of the swift single/double tour. This is a strong signal that they are not backing down and are committed.
Anything Hermes does is going to be high quality (not the biggest fan of the previous nylon bands but even those had quality).

I am considering replacing my S7 green aluminum with an Hermes Apple Watch. I also have an AW Ultra and a Series 6 SS Gold - I think I am keeping both of those models. Should I go with Silver or Black? It seems like there are more leather band options for silver
I’m in bit of a dilemma.
Ordered the 45mm orange Kilim but it’s rubber and I don’t think Hermès will add an extra hole in it for me.
Want this new studded Fauve from Hermès direct but there doesn’t seem to be enough room here for another hole between the last one and the white stitching.
Or do I go for the 41mm?
I have over 30 bands for the 45mm watch and intend on keeping the S7 45mm.

I strongly believe having Hermes in SSS41 and SSS45 is the only way to live for those that can wrist it.
My first ever Hermes Apple Watch - proud owner of many Hermes straps
really wanted the horse watch face to pair with the orange double tours, can’t wait!
