Somebody in my area is selling a bunch of bands for $30 CDN each. The orange one appears to say Hermes. Is this the Hermes sports band?

All of these are NOT original Apple bands. Original Apple bands have colour matched connector pins.

I was always under the impression that the colour matches pins come on bands that were originally shipped with the corresponding watch colour. If you purchased an apple strap from apple separately then it would come with a sliver pin.
Apple Watch straps usually have a size stamped on them.

The parts that connect to the watch match the band color.

They also have the size & S/M or M/L stamped on them.

The Hermes band has Apple & Hermes branding on the back of the metal circle. See an ebay auction for it, they usually show it.

Behind you
the hermes orange is very distinctive but i dont think it translates well to the fluoroelastomer bands. it looks cheap to me somehow. maybe if it were a tad more burnt orange? idk. wound't pay $100+ for one like they charge on ebay.
