I presume that it's supposed to be black (ébène) but in your photos it looks more of a dark brown, unless that's just the camera...
Got a tip for us?

very, very nice but the straps seem a bit too tight
It's not. Doesn't even leave a mark on my arm after wearing all day.

It's not black. It is dark brown. I wanted the dark brown band with the deployment buckle and this was the only option.
Which version did you buy.
If you stay with Apple, some Sport Bands, Classic Buckle and Leather Loops. More expensive are the Hermès bands
Ok.... I REALLY hope the new orange sports band Apple released isn’t the exact same shade as the hermes Bands.... it will ruin the exclusivity.

Apple has made the Spicy Orange Sport Band that was previously exclusive to the Hermès available for everyone. You can now buy this brightly colored watch band for $49 from Apple’s website.
But of course you miss the Hermès pin

I don’t know how accurate the colours of the photos on the Apple store are, but here are the spicy orange and Hermès orange together for comparison
Seems like the Hermès orange is slightly lighter in colour?
nice try, problem is that photo colors on Apple website are very unreliable

I know but the Hermès one is actually not far off my band. Kinda washed out orange and lighter than the spicy orange. At least in photos anyway
Let's wait and see what a live comparison decided
IMO the Hermès Sport band color was always different than the bright orange we are used to. That is also why the Hermès color is so special.
That said, I really don't understand Apple move to release the very same color (if true). Could this be the end of a next Apple Watch Hermès (or Apple/Hermès cooperation) Also Apple/Hermès need to add something to make the watch more special than box, watch face, leather band and brand only. Could be an Hermès orange charging dock...

An orange dot for the crown would’ve been perfect for the LTE series 3.
Or orange plastic box instead of the white one.
Do you know that people on eBay are actually paying serious money to get this Apple Watch orange Hermès box
In my opinion, it doesn’t matter if shade varies, it still spoils it for Hermes owners.
Agreed. But oh well. The one positive out of this is if the case matches close enough to the band it will look great. Definitely seems it’s a brighter orange though than the hermes
Honestly, I don't give a sh*t. Let other people have an orange band too, it's fine. That color is missing from the beginning and it matches really well with the black/gray watches. There once was an orange band but it really was more red than orange.
Also, I haven't used my orange Hermès band that often (but that's because I have an insane collection of bands).

Somehow I don't really feed bad for you...It won't be exactly the same shade so you will still have an "exclusive / rare" band to wear. I'm personally glad they introduced another shade of orange. The first orange sport band was a bit too reddish.

Very hard to tell the difference. One of us needs to go into an Apple Store with our Hermes orange and compare them against each other.

What would be ideal is a photo of the two bands side-by-side in good lighting......
There’s gotta be someone who has done this already!! Please!!
