It has been two weeks with the Grand H SS band. I really like the band but I continue to have issues with fit. I have the L size.
If I do not remove any links, the S10 moves around easily. It is a bit annoying. However heart rate, raise to wake and ECG all work fine. The band is comfortable, albeit floppy.
If I take out one link, the sliding around is significantly reduced, but there are marks corresponding to the edge of the band and the clasp on the underside of my wrist. It is overall tighter, but not extremely so. I can feel the edge of the band on my arm.
If I remove two links, I can still close the clasp. It is tighter to close the clasp. The watch no longer moves around at all but the marks on my wrist are more pronounced and I have an imprint corresponding to the underside of the watch on the top of my wrist. When I visited Hermes in NYC they examined the watch on mh wrist and suggested I not remove one link b/c it will be unbalanced.
How important is lack of movement ? There seems to be no prefect choice. Apple support document implies a reasonably tight fit. I am confused and dismayed.

I did! I'm amazed I got it for that price, given how much higher some used ones are selling for. Thank you for the tip!
Thanks! It looks better in your pics than on the website in my opinion. Very subtle
New Bridon Lisere is lovely! Argent Circuit H face is also a fantastic match for the Noir/Gris color. Wish the Beige/Blanc color was available in a 46mm Single Tour, though.
Also disappointingly, at 46mm it still has width that instead matches 41mm lugs. However, I happened to have third party Ultra lugs with the smaller lug bar size and they fit perfectly without it sliding side to side. Just need to polish the lugs to match the case!
Could be very useful in adapting proper 41mm bands to the larger S10/Ultra but alas my wrists are too large for that.

On the watch please 👼Like this?
I really don’t mind the extra bar space on my yarnies, especially on the Bridon where the chevrons still go full width
Also what does a guy gotta do to get more lovely Vangeli wrist shots for the museum?
Eh, if I ever stop wearing the Grand H regularly maybe I’ll start wristposting again.
Thanks. Just feels like especially with the new case width, I’d rather have the full size bar. A more gradual taper down to the skinny band.

Figure most folks with Bridons feel the same, though the smaller bar isn’t proportionally dissimilar to how the Ultra with a non-Ultra band looks. I simply don’t like it sliding all the way to one side, and a smaller bar fixes that.
Of course, Hermès could’ve had the band taper out a little toward the lug like they did with the Torsade and Tricot. Regardless, it’s such a comfy band and easily high on the list.
Yeah the sliding is a nuisance. I remember getting my used ebene and opening up the lug and wrapping the lug bar in sticky paper to stop it sliding from wear and tear.
love the new sun kilim, haven’t seen 42mm available yet🥲

Inspired by the marketing images, made some copies 😆

I wonder if it will be. I also have not seen it at 42mm on the website. But odd it’s included in the marketing.
Alright Kilim fam, seeing if any suggestions for another color given I currently have Kilim in orange, navy, and Beton. All 3 get fairly equal usage and I love the dark navy of the Kilim band (as blue is my fav color), I have an itch to get the noir Kilim since I feel it may be more elegant and have different use cases with outfits.
I’m also tempted to get Bleu de France that I missed out on when it was released as I feel I’m not sure if I can match the electric blue sort of color with my typical darkish outfits that I wear.
So basically, between two choices for now for another Kilim for the collection, noir vs. bleu kilim. I know it’s a personal decision, but would like to only get one at the moment and would appreciate any suggestions from kilim aficionados. Thanks in advance!

I have both the Noir and the Bleu. I think you already summed things up nicely.
I would say the Noir is better when you want to look a little more dressed up, and the Bleu is more "fun" looking, because it is a bright blue.

I base my kilim colour choices on my outfits. My life goal is to have ensembles like Bona Mish (miss the wrist pics btw), but my reality is a closet full of black, grey and shades of blue.
Rouge H would complement your current lineup, especially if you have maroon clothes. But also goes with dark blue fits and brown/gold
I finally decided to go for Satiné Grand H.
And damn, it's a lot sexier than Apple Link Bracelet.

How tight are you wearing your Grand H? Did you remove any links?

It's perfect fit for me, I'm wearing 42mm in Medium Size.
Preferably Large, in case I'm getting fat 😬, but it's sold out already.
