Agreed, it's so nice. Not sure I'd go as far as favourite Hermès band full stop, but definitely my favourite woven nylon Hermès now.
It can easily hold two cards. Three is a little tight, but I'd expect it to loosen over time.
Yeah, I agree - On my Hermès I wear non leather 90% of the time - I also have Orange/Kraft Jumping and Bleu/Rouge Sellier Jumpings as well. I tend to wear the Orange in the summer to be brighter, though the band itself is a little stiffer than the Bleu/Rouge Jumping. The Bleu is my 'winter' band, I love how silky it looks and the fact it is a little more supple compared to the Orange/Kraft. This one, though quite bright and upbeat for a 'winter' band is gorgeous and a real classic colour combo. It is such a classy look.

With WatchOS10, what is now your favorite and go to watch face?
Pre 10, I normally had the Hermès Circulair due to the complications. Now is is 99.9% of the time the Radial due to the Smart Stack.
Anyone else like this?

I’m trying to like the radial too, since it’s new. How does Smart Stack help justify radial? I haven’t found a pretty complication to use in the centre of the face, they’re all quite big….
Totally agree, complications can easily become widgets in the stack
Have used the circulae exclusively since it came out. I like to see all my complications at a glance.
I find now with the Smart Stack, my most used complications are there on a swipe up. Also, I have changed to grid view for the apps and put my most used at the top, so a simple press of the crown gives me easy access. For me, I use a water intake tracker and a caffeine logger all day (well I have a no caffeine after 2pm rule lol) and those as well as workout, activity and weather are all I really need. I find it enables me to use a more minimal face.
I too, though, am undecided about what complication to use in the middle of the Radial. I have a shortcut to change it (well change whole face) depending on time of day. I am in UK, but work hybrid UK/US hours, so tend to work 12pm-8pm (give or take) during the week. I have home before 12, US Eastern time 12-8 and activity 8pm onwards (to remind me to close my rings!). They are all though a bit large as you say and I tried it without and it looked naked, so still undecided.
My new band with various faces. I think the Radial looks best maybe? Followed by the Circuit H (rouge selected).
Edit: Added matching Chihuahua x
Looks like they added new leather bands on the Hermes site. I am interested in this watch this year as who knows if leather banded Apple Hermes watched will be around for much longer…
Pinch, punch, first band of the month! Navy Hermès Kilim Single Tour
@Bona Mish or others. How do you find the Kilim band? Is it easy to put on and take off? Any adverse skin reaction to the rubber?
Love it!!! Just wore mine yesterday!!!!!
I LOVE IT!!!! it’s very soft and with the deployment band it’s way easier to take off then your regular sports band. it comes off with just a click. I didn’t expect it to be so soft and supple for a rubber material. And I feel it molds to your wrist much nicer than the sports band. It is by far my favorite Hermes band to date, so much so that I have every color and am just waiting for Apple to ship me the Kaki color. I have quite a collection now as I think I have about 20 Hermes bands.
No adverse reactions to the rubber at all.

I think the fact that Hermes continued to produce leather bands, when Apple stopped selling them is a testament to the fact that this product sells for Hermes, and that they will be around for a while.
I find i also settle for the app grid of opening my podcast app a lot. Wish I could turn off the animation for the apps appearing there.

Oh I agree totally.
I have always been like it (even before I met her 28 years ago). I think she appreciates that I don't follow what 'society' sees as the 'norm' for a man. There is no norm to me, we are all individuals. Live life as you want to, not as others want you to, and don't take any notice of what others think I say
That is a whole different subject though and not for an Apple Watch forum....
Hey @Boardiesboi is the first watch in your post here the Swift Gold (image below copied from the link)? It's in stock in 41mm at Hermes. I'd rather the Fauve Barenia but seems like it's not been sold ever (most recent I could find with search was 40mm so S6 vintage?). I don't generally like perfect-when-new heavily pigmented leathers, but if that's how the Swift Gold looks with wear I'd try it.
EDIT: From more search, pretty sure this is the Fauve Barenia. Anyone who's had a Gold Swift with some wear/age, would like to see a pic. Seems like many had the same question a couple years ago but I didn't find subsequent responses (perhaps because Gold Swift was new then?)

That scratch coloration on the small band screams fauve, as do the weathered belts. Alas I’ve never seen gold swift so I’m having to collate my experience with other swift.
Zooming in the grain does look Barenia’l
My S7 came with a gold swift. I’ll post some pics shortly - it is now 2 years old, but I don’t wear it daily so it still looks like new though. I think the above is a Fauve.Hey @Boardiesboi is the first watch in your post here the Swift Gold (image below copied from the link)? It's in stock in 41mm at Hermes.

This seller has gold and fauve Attelage for the low, sealed. Always offer super low on Hermes! Especially with sellers who sell fashion

Thanks, need the smaller size though. (Not for wear pictures of course - any swift gold will do. I even tried to find bag photos but I suspect most Hermes bag owners doesn’t put their bag in wear situations…)
You did give me the idea to look for used completed listings as a source for photos. Still nothing that way that showed any significant wear.
So perhaps @BillGates1969 this is all a sign: swift bands just don’t get worn that often. Given how light the gold is, and my own experience with other pristine-look leather bands, I would probably do same.

That’s the Fauve Barenia. They stopped selling it in single tour a few years ago. It still comes in deployment buckle though and sometimes in attelage.Hey @Boardiesboi is the first watch in your post here the Swift Gold (image below copied from the link)?

I don’t like the gold swift as it doesn’t patina like the Fauve
