The Kilim is simply in an elite league of its own. Robust, versatile, fashionable, and the ultimate GADA strap. Nothing like the standard sports bands.

It feels like double the weight. Will post pictures when I am home with both.
It seems like two links on each side have a little kind of latch on them. I didn’t play around with it cause it’s perfect size the medium for me with no adjustment. For reference I wear the standard Hermes leather band in the large 45 size on the second from top hole (the almost smallest fit). The bracelet didn’t come with instructions or even the proper pouch. They just put it in the top side of the standard divided Hermes watch band pouch. The salesgirl told me it was shipped to them in a gray foam protective box. They literally got one 46 size medium and one 42 size small. They were shocked they even had it. I will post pics when I get a chance.
Our phones and watches themselves are Chinese made. If it’s the same material, does it really matter?
On the Kilim, I was Mr skeptical on it and said that I don’t mind paying £300 on leather, but no way is a bit of plastic worth that.
After about a month I thought I would give it a try and got the Orange Kilim.
WOW! How wrong was I. It was permanently on my S7 for about 4 months - I had bought a Toile H only a month previously and it never got worn.
I would say the Kilim is my favourite type of Hermes strap at the moment. It feels premium in the way a sports band just can’t and looks so good. The amount of comments from random people I get is amazing. I love the brighter colour of Orange and it stands out.
For those of you with the new blue, is it as bright as it looks in some of the pictures? I love bright bands.

I am in the middle of the decision of where I’m gonna Hermes Beton Kilim White color. I’m gonna be going to the United States North Carolina in a few weeks. But the problem is the Apple Watch 10 Hermes Beton Kilim White color I’m looking in at 10 to 15 weeks either in Japan or United States. I have to figure out which location to buy it. This is a pain in the butt
Wow. I see the difference too. I have a small wrist so even a slight bigger size is noticeable.
At $999 Apple and Hermes reached a new level of stupidity. It makes the Apple metal band look like a bargain. BTW, in my opinion the Apple band is a lot nicer.
Another thing I’ve noticed is that the classic Hermes face hasn’t been updated to the new proportions of the Series 10 screen, so it feels like it doesn’t really fill the width of the display, whereas the same face on my Series 9 is nicely proportional.
Yes it’s a very vibrant blue to me. I love it!!!!

I will take a pic of last years kilm blue and this years and post the pic so you can see the difference in the blues.
I don’t consider the Beton to be a white color. More like the color of clay to me. It’s not a pure white by any means.
Thank you for the insight about the color.
(Beton translation to French to English means concrete) referring to the coloration. So gray is a good example you explained .........I go with the black version. Green, blue, and orange just seem too bright. I don't want to have this watch stand out more than the name is already doing. Thank you again

I don’t mind the band or the price, but it should be titanium. That’s the most disappointing thing for me because I wouldn’t mix/match stainless and titanium.
Sure anytime!!! I love the color but I also love the vibrancy of the new blue and especially the orange. The bright color enhance the beauty of the kilm band. The new green is not vibrant at all and actually looks darker to me than in the stock promo pics. But I still love it!!!
When your visiting the states you should look online to see what Apple Store carries hermes or if there’s a Hermes boutique near you will be that may also carry the watches and bands.
For example I live in Los Angeles and the Apple Store at The Grove shopping center carries the Hermes watches and bands, or if I order it online I can get it shipped there and go in person to pick it up. Or perhaps you know someone here in the states that can see if they can get the band for you and then arrange to ship it to you when your here.
It’s available for sale from Hermes directly. Go to the Hermes USA website.
Does anyone have recommendations for strap adapters with a polished finish that match the silver titanium case (42mm)? Also, would the correct strap size be 20mm or 22mm for the 42mm case? I have some nice straps from before that I'd love to use with it once I receive it.
The polished titanium and stainless steel look exactly the same. You have nothing to worry about.
Hi
Here is the new blue versus the blue from
Last year. This is under house lighting. I think the new blue is very vibrant and I prefer it to last years blue!!

I don’t feel they ever maximized the styling of the classic face on series 7-9. They could have pushed it closer to the edge when a black background is selected.
I look at the Hermes site in Japan and they don't have white or black in 46 Apple 10 series.
