I use the Rouge Kilim band with an Ultra on weekends. I use an Hermes with various Hermes bands during the week.
That doesn’t include all the old color schemes you can add. I like the 2-tone faces from 2019.
Dual tone are technically under the Hermes header. To list all of the watches would be hundreds.
lol yep. Not a Hermes though. A new alpine loop for my Ultra. Next month for the Kilim I think.
Has anyone on here who has one done any workouts with them?
Kilim is not good for workouts (at least for me). It’s either slightly too loose or way to tight.
The sport band is best for working out for me with the Ultra. Good luck!
Yeah I suppose that I never wear the Hermes anyway for working out as I have the ultra, so the Kilim would be for dress down ‘best’ if that makes sense.
I wear my Kilim bands for everything working out, cleaning my house, cleaning my car, working in my yard, cleaning the pool, doing dishes, and it’s fine for me. Very comfortable and for me it seems as if I am not even wearing a watch.
Same, I honestly forget that I’m wearing the watch when I’m wearing the Kilim. Definitely doesn’t happen when wearing something like the leather as I’m conscious of wanting to avoid scuffing it.
Super comfortable, better than the sport band even. Absolutely will pull double duty in the gym if I forget my usual beater gym bands.

I agree - the Kilim is the best rubber-type strap I’ve had on an Apple Watch.
I agree 1000000%. I even wrote Hermes customer service an email telling them how much I love these bands. They wrote me a very nice email back. I’ll post it. I am not the only one who thinks do because the 45mm has been sold out on Hermes US website and Apple also.
I feel these are far more comfortable than the Sport band which has always been weird fitting. I think it’s because the rubber on the Kilim is so soft and much more pliable than the sports bands are.

I think the Kilim band is nice for everything but heavy work outs. It’s fine for basic workouts, but not HIIT, running, or cycling.
The rubber feels the same as the sports band. The difference is for heavy workouts the Kilim band cannot get as strong heart rate readings (for me). It’s just too loose on my wrist, plus you have to feel the cold stainless pressing against my wrist during HIIT workouts. Not a good feeling at all. Wish they made a non deployment buckle, but then it would only be about a $100 band.
The sports band is definitely more comfortable for my lifestyle and workout programs. Glad you are enjoying yours though.
I wish they did this with Barenia - can’t believe how much I have spent on bands, more than the Ultra 2 and they still look good even on that watch too.
I think I’ll just get this orange band and then I have a choice of 3 to wear (I’ve stopped using the Ocean band I ordered with the watch).

I did swap the deployment buckle on mine for a standard SBSS buckle so that’s probably helping, and the fit for me is perfect. The material feels soft like the Sport Band but is more flexible which adds to the comfort. The design even allows it to be less sweaty.
I don’t like the comfort of deployment buckle, but I get how it’s slightly nicer and more fancy. On a rubber band I want nothing to do with it though. I agree about the design and flexibility!!

How can you remove the deployment from one band and add to another - I’m intrigued!

Man I hope Apples next watch doesnt discontinue the older bands bc then me and so many others are screwed
Apple has proven they can go up to 49mm on the current design. I’d be shocked if they changed anything.
And if they did, I would just buy new lugs and swap them out.
