Question for those who have a circa 2021 hermes textile band. Do you feel like the bit where the band loops through to keep close is scratchy? Ive noticed that its very irritating - like the glue is harder or something. Its very subtle but makes me not want to wear the band a lot. Its a Kraft/Rouge color, and looking briefly online some others have reported on it and that i guess they changed it in later released. Anyone have a few they can compare?

I experienced this back when I had a Bleu Lin/Vert Jumping (Spring 2022). It was very annoying and part of the reason I sold the band. But I also have a Bleu Saphir/Orange (Spring 2021), Rouge/Rouge (Spring 2021), and Rouge Sellier/Bleu Saphir (Fall 2022) that are all fine. So I think this is more of a luck of the draw type of issue. At least, it’s not confined to the first run of Jumping bands.

Yes exactly! I dont plan on selling this band, it was given to me by my spouse. I think I may just take a very fine auto detailing grit sand paper to the glue/end bit where it seems to be and soften it a bit. Thank you for sharing your experience!

So it’s not glue, it’s a hot knife cut so the nylon weave doesn’t unravel. If there’s enough fused nylon there for you to soften the sharp edge down with no risk of it unraveling then go at it.

Screenshot of the new color watchfaces, Bleu Celeste and Jaune de Naples. Can’t get the Celeste screenshot to show up on my phone but you can see the dot there

Edit: enough reboots fixed it; bleu hydra’s bg is indeed Naples

Wait... what?!? How did you get two new face colors? Wonder if they are being pushed out in regional stages? I've rebooted watch and phone a few times and the new colors aren't listed or available to add with the +
