Yes, the Hermes version of the watch is great. I got my wife the 40mm version for Christmas last year, and she loves it. For her birthday earlier this month, I got her the Bordeaux/Rose Extreme/Rose Azalee Single Tour band, and she's been wearing it constantly!

You've got great taste!!

Apple announced new iMacs today. I think they announce new spring watch bands tomorrow since March 20 is the first day of spring.

The new colours look a bit muted. Hopefully they look better in person?

Etoupe was brought back from 2017. There really are only two new bands. I ordered the Bleu Lin/Craie.

I was hoping for an updated color for the Rallye band, a dark blue/gray combo band and/or some additional deployment buckles. Maybe for Series 5.

Double Tour question - Does anyone else have the watch lock on them because the extra loop gets under the sensor and the watch thinks it has been removed from your arm? My wife really struggles with this. It makes her not want to wear the band.

Yeah - that looks like a great band. Wish you could get it with the apple watch too as one of the standard bands.

I love those new bands. I think ill get the light blue/white combo soon.

In the meantime, I just bought this sexy new beast (Hermes Feu Epsom) for my S4 to complement my clown Hermes blue/white band. Digging the intensity of the colour (and how bold it is).

Edit: In reality, its a bit more burnt orange, the colour of the first 3 photos haven't captured its true colour. The last one (with the Hermes buckle captures it much better).

pink is as masculine as the person wearing it

genders for colors is absurd, get it if it makes you happy

Pink used to be considered the masculine color for baby boys, being associated with health and vigor.

"The generally accepted rule is pink for the boys, and blue for the girls," a 1918 article from Earnshaw's Infants' Department advised parents. "The reason is that pink, being a more decided and stronger color, is more suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl."

Depends on the colour that you want but usually 3-4 months of release. Definitely before the next watch comes out in September.

Old bands are known to pop up in the Hermès online store but that’s by chance.

Comparison of new papaya sport band (top) against the Hermès orange one.

I might get a papaya as the Hermès orange one in M/L feels too loose on my wrist.

I picked up the Large Sunset Leather loop last night. It's a bit too big so I'm returning for the Medium size today. The color is a little flatter than I expected.
