I originally purchased the double tour band and it was too short for me as well. I don’t have big wrists either. I think there is an extra long double tour strap, but they’re rarely available.
That’s what my SA told me and it doesn’t look like you can purchase it with a watch either. I’m slowly to think that the deployment buckle is better because I’m lazy and clumsy. I had such a tough time putting the double tour on at the store lol
Thank you! I only have the orange and silver options on the series 2...no red.
No red? That’s strange. I think it isn’t related to the series but software. So unless you’re not updated to WatchOS 4, you should be able to get red also

What watchOS do you have? If you have watchOS 4 or higher, then you should have all colour and fonts.
Do you have the Carrick font (the Roman numerals)? If you do, then you’re on watchOS 4.
I'm on the latest watchOS 4.3.1 and have the Carrick font option on series 2 but don't have the red color option. I think it's only available for series 3 based on additional info I was able to find on a Mac forum. Don't know why they didn't just add it with the software update but I guess it's an incentive to upgrade to a new version when the series 4 comes out.
UPDATE - So after having the watch for a good two weeks, I've realized 3 things. 1) I LOVE HERMES. haha. 2) Like with every leather good, Hermes or not, moisture is not a friend. I wore the Rallye during a warm day and I guess the leather got a bit moist so the inside of the strap darkened ever so slightly. If you are living in a hotter climate, you may have to take this into consideration. The orange sport band? perfection. That can take a beating and I feel more comfortable wearing that cause I know it is so durable. and lastly 3) Stainless Steel whether it is as expensive as AP, Franck Muller or Rolex or as inexpensive as a $40 watch from amazon, are all prone to scratches, especially the Apple Watch Hermes. I mean, I knew that it will happen, but I was shocked at how soon it got scratches. I AM VERY CAREFUL with my watches, and since the Hermes is my newest baby, I took extra time to be aware of my surroundings as to not bang it up and what not. HOWEVER, even with all of my precautions, there are definitely visible hairlines on the side. It bums me out but I guess that's just the way it goes. I wish that in the future Hermes editions, Apple will do what Cartier does for the Santos line and make it brushed stainless steel so that the wear and tear wont be as obvious. Does anyone polish their apple watch? if so, what do you use? Thanks

The orange rubber strap comes in handy... in fact it the most H strap I use so far... it handles water and sweat very well but yet fashionable. I’m not too worry about the micro scratch on the stainless steel part of the watch. I’ll definitely get the brushed steel if H Apple comes out with one. Since I’m so fascinated by H bracelets ... I have collected different H Apple straps... in my defense ...they’ve double function as a watch and a bracelet thus carry better economic value [emoji3]
Here it is! I also ordered a watch connector today. I’m gonna see if I can use a twilly with the Apple Watch.
