Has anyone found swapping bands really tough? I'm not sure if there's a defect with mine but it's really hard to remove the band, and when I'm able to remove it I can hear a horrible metal on metal rubbing sound that I never experienced on my SS S4

I have this at times with my Series 9 depending on the band. It think it really depends on the lugs.

No scraping sounds though, just feels really tight…

It might be a brand new watch thing. I don't recall if my S10 was the same but it's super smooth for me nowadays.

You've got 14 days of testing anyway

Was also initially worried that there was something wrong with it. Very tight but also very squeaky the first 15 or so times I’d swap bands on my S10, perhaps it’s something from the factory or even the oxidation layer on top of the titanium that gets worn away? Maybe it needs a touch of skin oils? Regardless, it goes away fairly quickly.

I just ordered the Kilim band in Orange. That will make three Kilim bands....I bought the Noir and Béton earlier this month.

I'm obsessed with these.
Same. They’re very nice bands, I must admit, didn’t grab my attention at first until recently, you buy your first one, it’s down hill from there. I bought three this month already. Smh lol

It was the same for me. I remember seeing them and not getting it. This year I started paying closer attention and the Kilim in particular caught my eye. I ordered the Noir first and....loved it. Immediately ordered the Béton because I believe that's one of this year's special colours? Told myself I'd get the Orange later because it's that beautiful Hermès orange you can't beat and "later" ended up being now. 😄

I wish the Bleu de France and Vert Moyen came in 42mm. I have small wrists so have always gone for the smaller sized watch. I would order the Bleu de France immediately if it were available in 42.

Now that my Kilim collection is complete (until new colours are released) I can move on to the leather bands/other textiles. I'm annoyed at myself for not paying closer attention to the Hermès bands because I've missed out on so many great ones despite having an Apple Watch since the original one came out!

Has anyone got any good photos of the Kilim Noir and Beton bands they can post? When I went to the Hermes store a while ago I didn’t really take a look at them. I’m now going to get one but I can’t decide between the 2 colours.

Thanks in advance.

Looks like there is a display bug on white Hermès Radial watch face. When you choose today’s date it does not show up as it seems to be white on white. No problem with another color. Do you have the same bug ?

Here are some photos I took of mine. I hope it helps!
