Thanks a lot, that answers my question already! I‘m going to need the smaller one.
My husband bought me an orange swift band this week for my birthday, after I told him not to repeatedly. But it opened some sort of flood gate for me and now I've ordered myself a Kilim band in Kaki. I don't know, but something about the colour just looks special.
I know I already asked, so I am sorry, but how do the Kilm bands hold up? Do they get any sort of oilyness or shine the way the apple sport bands do? thanks!

I picked up the blue Kilim yesterday in the city and love the blue. It almost shifts in color depending on the lighting.
Seeing the new 45mm leather bands I want all 3 now! The spring Hermes collections every year always pull me in way more than the fall collection. Love the bright colors.

I’ve had my orange Kilim since release and wear it almost every day. No shine or oiliness to date (tbh I didn’t even realize it was a thing with Apple Sport bands).
Both Kilim and sport bands are made of a fluoroelastomer rubber material. So it’s safe to assume the Kilim band could wear similar to a sport band.
I picked up 3 Kilim bands in the fall and none are showing wear yet. But I also rotate through them. So basically, I’m saying buy more Kilim to keep them looking good 😂
I also have not seen anyone complaining about their Kilim having wear issues, but we’re only ~6 months after release. If wear is an issue, we might not see it until 1-2 years of daily use.
Also, you landed a good husband so treat him right!
Worn my Kilm black every single day since Nov through Hawaii, Asia, and more on hikes etc. Not one sign of wear. My sport bands showed horrible wear after 2 months so this Hermes one is def impressive.
The Apple Sport Bands have a particular soft-touch finish to them that wears down whereas the Kilim just seems like raw rubber—almost eraser-like—but much higher quality. Both are elastomers but still different polymers or whatnot, afaik.
I can second that for all 5 of my Kilm bands!!!!
How would you compare the Natural Sable to Biscuit and Gold? Is it truly a pale tan?
Thats good to know so thank you, and I agree!
That's super interesting - when looking at it, it looks similar but it did feel a bit different, thanks for clarifying that.
And thank you all for letting me know your Kilim's are holding up well!
According to my Bandbreite log book, I have worn my 45mm Kilim Noir for 120 days since I received it on September 23rd. I have gently scrubbed it clean with a soft toothbrush and a drop of clear dish soap on two separate occasions.
I cannot emphasize enough how I am not exaggerating: This thing still looks brand new. No shine, no scratches in the rubber or the deployment buckle, the lugs and the clasp shine just as bright as day one.
I don't exercise with it (I switch to a sport band). However, it has been with me on hikes, walks, holidays, hotels, and plenty of work trips where a rental car is my office. I shower with it at the end of the days I choose to wear it. My 3-year-old has yanked on it, various dogs have clawed and licked it, and it's lost some small battles with food and drink spills.
I honestly consider its Swiss Made (not China) quality to be legitimately on par with rubber straps of some luxury timepieces, and it really is better quality than the factory rubber strap on my Tag Heuer.
For its versatility, ease of putting on/off, and durability, the Kilim has easily become my favorite Apple Watch band.
If I would know that the connectors don’t change anytime soon, I would buy a couple of new bands immediately. The spring collection is awesome. But as it stands right now, I’m gonna pass until we all know for sure what’s coming.

This is definitely my favourite of the new bands so far.

The way I see the 3 spring 24’ leather 45mm bands are pastel-ish colors. Pastel green, pastel blue, pastel yellow??? I would say the sable is tan with hints of yellow.
So it’s like mellow yellow sport band or lemon cream sport band?

That new framboise/écru band looks stunning with the craie/rose face! Always great to see your posts on the site.
Loving the new bleu céleste face-accent color. Makes me want to pull the trigger on the new, matching kilim band!

Where are you based? They may have in retail stores. I saw it at one of the Hermès stores in London. (The kaki not the rouge h).
