So this never bothered me until now... I've lost ~70 lbs since the last time I wore an Apple Watch Hermes. Now my size the is the last (narrowest) hole. Fortunately there's no way I'll need another smaller hole, but I'm on the smallest hole that Hermes includes on their 45-46mm bands.
I wear the Hermès leather watch strap a little looser, so the holes provided fit me.
If I want to wear the strap tight, I'm in the last hole.
But I don't understand why the straps with the deployment clasp aren't shortened!
The position of the clasp on the Kilim straps is perfect. The position on the leather bracelets is bad.
They aren't suitable for normal arm circumferences.

I understand you’ve already made a decent investment, but I think it’s time to consider switching to the 42mm Apple Watch
Bruh now they stopped making extra holes for single and double tours in leather? They are still selling leather bands, Apple is not in their stores.
Guess it’s time to buy these leather hole punches that you hammer 🔨 them out for belts and mechanical watch leather straps. These things can be found at a craft shop.
loved reading this - hope you received your watch and hope you're loving it!Hi All, I have written here that my plan was to get my Hermes watch for my big birthday. Well I am getting close. I have owned numerous Apple Watches over the years all Stainless Steel until I got my gold Titanium this year which btw I love the lighter weight of the titanium. Anyway I went to the one and only Apple store here in Las Vegas on Sunday not necessarily to buy but just to look at the watch. They do not display them but they have a special locked drawer that if you know to ask they will show you the Hermes. I was able to play with it to see the various watch faces and of course look at the bands they offer. They only had a 46 in stock and not the 42 and stated I would need to order the 42. I actually want the Single Tour Attelage etoupe for the band but wanted to see the band in person. So made a call to the Wynn Hermes store, spoke to a very sweet SA that seemed to know a lot more about the watches than when I previously had stopped into the store. It seems that none of the Las Vegas stores had in stock the 42 but she showed readily available through their web site. She also did not have the band to look at but there was one at Belliagio store. But with the F1 having just been here getting to that resort is still a mess, not going to do it to just look at a watch band. I am going with my gut that I will love the band so I ordered it on line last night. The only false information that the SA gave me was she said if I ordered on line by noon on Tuesday they would ship it out immediately over night and I would have on Wednesday. Well I ordered last night when I got off the phone and while I received a confirmation email from Hermes I have not received an email of shipping plus their web site said it would be 7 to 10 business days before I received with their free shipping. If I wanted to pay another $100 I could have it by Friday. Sorry but will keep the extra $100 to go toward a Kilim band.
So that is my update, almost an owner of a Hermes watch I think my husband thinks I am nuts wanting a 3rd apple watch but he did say you do work hard and deserve it. I am semi retired but still been working a lot of hours on my retirement job (travel agent) With the holidays I fear I will not see the watch till well into December
Absolutely not. I like big watches and all straps fit. Only the leather watch strap with folding clasp has an inappropriately designed position of the clasp.
What’s the name of the band in the middle? Never seen it with the embossed H logo.
I designed the stamp myself and burned it in. I don't like empty watch bands. I received this Hermès band cheaply and then stamped it.
Assuming the weight loss was intended and not something seriously wrong healthy wise, congratulations on losing that weight.
Yep, on purpose. Thanks! 2024 has been my year of health. I turned 55 this past year and feel 35. Looking forward to 2025.
What do you think about this combination?
Wrist is 18cm. Opted for the large and only needed to remove 1 link in total. Hermes bands are much smaller than Apple bands.
My overall recommendation is get the Large regardless of your wrist size because you can remove additional links with a standard watch link removal tool (the kind that pushes the connector pins out). There are people willing to buy additional links because even the large is too small for them so you could offset the cost of the band by selling the extra links.

It continually restocks on the US Apple site but immediately sells out again. I’ve seen it restock a half dozen times in the past couple of weeks. The last time I noticed a restock was Dec 19th but haven’t been checking every day.
They also make link removal tools you can get on Amazon for $5-10 which allows you to safely remove pins the same way a professional would.
They also had the Medium in stock I believe during XMAS eve and on XMAS day. I already have a M size that works well for me with one link removed but was curious to check re: any additional stock.
I’ve seen some lefties wear the watch upside down (there’s an option to flip the display in Settings) so that the digital crown is closer to the wrist… just a suggestion if you wanted to wear the band on the inside.
Yeah but I have been wearing the watch this way since Series 0 so it will be exceedingly hard for me to pivot. Haha.
Where did you find this watch face? I can’t seem to find it either… only black or white.
