Great photos! I assumed the Ultra bands would be wider at 24-26mm; however it looks the same width as the Tricot (20mm). Please can you take a photo of both using the 1st hole? I have big wrists so would be good to see how it would look with the buckle / keeper. Thank you.
Got a tip for us?

You can just replace the connector (readily available). I had something similar on my Jumping and replaced just that part from an old strap.
Yes happened here too. Hope you still have the screw.. you need to have a pentalobe PL2 screwdriver which is the correct size for the little screws.. if you have, put a bit of loctite on it and it will be save to wear again.
Hope I can help!

It sounds horrible to do that, but I "punch" small additional holes with a soldering iron and a small/thin tip. It is synthetic and melts easily if you do not heat up the soldering iron at full. Look at how the other holes ar made - that ring of melted plastic around the hole...
There is a message from me with a picture at page 86479534 😆 here in that thread - I do not find it anymore.
BTW: a beautiful band and color combination 🙂
I cant bring myself to do that luckily I have a friend that was happy to take it from me 🙂
My battery has gone bad for the third time on this Series 7. 20-minute battery life from 100% to 0% today at 86% health. I’m replacing the watch out of warranty once every 2 years at this rate. I think I’m about done with these things.
Anyone else?

It looks like a new walk-trough environment from Hermès on the VisionPro. 😆
...I did not know, that that blocky design of that Faoubourg Party watchface is an artists work. Learned something today.
Apple should make this decoration travel in other shops...

Your picture makes no sense - sorry. At 19% the graph should be yellow or red and not green at 98%.
Having these problems with every watch points to something you do with the watch no one else does - like 24 hours streaming or calling all day long. I do not want to be rude, but something in YOUR setup is killing the charge. This is not the watch itself.

It is the Apple Store at the Rue du Faubourg in Paris
Thanks for that interesting info, andricop
If I were Hermès, I would sell sets of these blocks to build the figures at home - I probably would buy one 🤣

For the last few days, new posts have been circulating about new screensaver animations for the Faubourg Party face. Some of the posts suggest the animations might be associated with the Sleep Tracking function or while charging the watch. Anyone know more about this? I haven't seen a watchOS update in the past few days, unless this is an upcoming feature.
Could it be wOS 26.5? Release candidate just came out earlier this week, which likely means 26.5 is coming out next week.
I wish they’d do a new limited release like the 2020 deep blue medor that came out on like May 10th and was only sold online for like 1 day.
Would love a summer version of the Faubourg Party.
Love the animations on his instagram. Would love to see them brought to iPhone and Mac.

There is no Apple Store on the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré (it's Hermès shop in Fbg St Honoré); it's the Apple Store on the Champs-Elysées 🇫🇷

I wait until it dips below 80%, then ask for battery replacement. Apple just takes my old Hermes Series 7 and gives me a new H Series 7 watch. I pay for the battery price. But you have to wait a few months for battery health to go from 80 to 79% (I'm very sure they do this on purpose).
I know this sucks which is why I'm slowly transitioning back to traditional watches. I'm done with AW.

Edit: Never mind! After restarting the watch and phone twice, it fixed it!
Anyone else having an issue with iOS and watchOS 26.5 where the Spring 2026 colors (Capucine, Trench, Paille) appear on the watch but not in the Watch app on the phone (and if you edit a face on the watch and select one of the new Spring 2026 colors it immediately deselects the color).
It’s like there’s a mismatch between the colors available on iOS and watchOS, so watchOS won’t let you select them.
