Small wrists unite! My wrist is about 5.6" circumference. I hope you post picture of the etoupe, I'm still deciding between it and the Space Black and it seems we're practically wrist twins.

I'm a large-wrist 40mm SS owner, trying to follow this thread a bit. I always thought DT bands are too small for me (not to mention a bit fussy) but I love the new one that was released with the 5. Are you saying I can or cannot do the DT this go-round?

I'm not sure because my wrist is around 142mm and it's almost too big for me and ehemelay has 146mm. KandyKane showed picture suggested they lengthened the noir DT slightly but DrTr suggested they hadn't. If your wrist fit a DT previously, I think it's a safe bet it will fit this time, too.

If you've never tried it, maybe we can have someone who's at the opposite extreme measure their wrist. If I understood it, DrTr fits the DT at the second to last hole and might make a good comparison if we could get some wrist measuring happen!

From my measurement at the second to last smallest hole there's 38mm play, for a total of 180mm if I did my math correct. (I measured the excess 7 holes, not calculating the 2πr for ellipse).

The etoupe DT band arrived today; it's a great fit!

I am using one of the middle openings to buckle. (4/9). It's just a smidge loose, but still snug enough I expect the watch will accurately count my steps and monitor my heart rate, etc. while out and about during the day. In my three days owning the watch (total expert, right?!) I've chosen a slightly tighter fit for the sports bands so I don't feel the watch itself moving around when I'm running. It definitely feels more like a bracelet with the leather bands. And of course, there is plenty of room to size down if the band eventually loosens/stretches.

Here's how the DT looks on my wrist:

And I decided to wear the H edition sport band for a workout; I realized a little sweat isn't going to hurt. I love how the encre face looks against the orange color!!:

I know most of you have already done your unboxing. Mine took a bit longer since I ordered from H.com because I wanted recognition as an H customer and I was also curious to see if they'd throw any goodies in. They did (a perfume sample).

I was away on a business trip and when I got home my watch was waiting for me. I love it. I'm keeping the watch face as minimal as possible. I can't believe how beautiful and stiff the watch band it, it almost freaks me out to put it on.

I got the single tour black one and apparently my wrist is on the small side! Very first hole on ST and it’s still a little loose for me. Maybe I should get a DT now...

I had to get another hole on my ST done at H because it was way too loose. My DTs I wear on the 2nd tightest (smallest) hole. I wish other parts of my body were as dainty as my wrists

Picked up my SBSS this morning! The 40mm just fits me and my wrist is about 180mm. I can only wear it on the last hole with the sport band.

SA and I tried the etain/beton double tour but it was so small for my wrist that it was comical :lol:. We could barely get the ends of the strap to touch. I’m waiting for the long double tour to see if that might work, but for now the single is great!

ohhh maybe I should do that! I’m not a huge fan of the DT look / feel so I really want the ST to work for me. Do you know off the top of your head how long / how much getting the extra hole took?

A week in to wearing the watch, and I'm the dummy who just noticed the gradient faces transition throughout the hour just like the two-tone style faces.

I'm not getting fantastic battery life with my series 5, but I do use the workout app for 75+ minutes/day. When I can jog outside, I'm leaving my phone behind and using the LTE for music or podcasts. I also sleep with the watch on so I can take advantage of the AutoSleep app. I keep the charging stand on the desk in my home office and I usually let the watch charge up for half an hour or so ( it's usually anywhere from 50-60% battery life at that point) mid-morning when I'm focused on spreadsheets and other work that requires seated concentration. When I hop in the shower at night after my workout, it's usually down to 30-40% and I let it charge then too. So, it's about 12 hours between short charging sessions.

I think if I timed it exactly right, I could probably get a full 24 hours of activity between charges but right now I'm fine with charging it periodically during the day.

I live in NYC so I just asked my SA to do it at Madison one time when I was in. It's free just like getting extra belt holes. There's no wait. They just take it in the back and bring it back with a new hole.

I add an extra hole to all my single tours at the Hermès store. They just take it out the back and come back with a strap with an extra hole in 3 mins.
