I find them a little too short, too, but think I could swing it if it softened up a bit. It's just too uncomfortable out of the box. What's everyone's experience been with the band softening up over time?

Not so good for me - I’ve had mine since December and it hasn’t loosened at all. I’m thinking of being an awful person and soaking the band in water and then wearing it as tight as I can while it dries. I haven’t done it yet because I’m afraid of ruining it...

Someone at macrumors mixed a blue and white sport band to recreate the indigo/craie/orange single tour look.

I think it’s so clever and it matches the new watch face perfectly!

Have ordered myself a blue horizon sport band to replicate this look :smile:

What a good idea! I just got my watch and have been using the orange sport band with the blue/white face and I love it! I’ve never used a sport band on my old watch and I can’t belive how comfortable it is, I was actually thinking of ordering a pink one. But now I many need to do this!

Hi Cookiefiend - I know I mentioned this before, and it freaks people out to think about it, but I actually took an awl and a hammer and gently tapped one extra hole in a previous double tour watch band. You absolutely cannot tell that Hermes did not do it and it allowed me to wear my watch with no issues. I would absolutely faint before I could soak my watch band! But I did eventually start washing my scarves instead of dry cleaning them and they turn out beautifully, so many things might work. Good luck to you!

It doesn't and won't exist. Apple/H have decided that 40mm and pink and double tours are for women while 44mm, dark/blue, single tours, and deployment buckles are for men.

ETA https://www.apple.com/shop/watch/bands filtered by Hermes bands, shows all manufactured options, though some are currently unavailable/sold out.

I know, and I wish Hermes wasn’t so gendered in how they pick what should be for men vs for women. Especially in today’s world, I think we each choose our things, and all options should be available to all! There are a few bands I wanted, but they only did for larger watch. Oh well, it’s an old house, change comes slowly. Have fun with your watches and bands everyone!!

I might try that - it would certainly be the easier option!
Soaking the band worries me - I'm afraid that I would stretch out just the hole because there would be so much tension there, but not actually stretch the band.
I have washed (gently cleaned, dried and moisturized) my Silk'in wallet and it looks just the same - actually a whole lot better… I think since I'd be getting the entire band wet that it would be fine, but I don't know that it would stretch the way I want it to.
:panic:

Indeed. I know it’s scary, but was really ok after you measure remeasure hesitate then go or go to a leather repair or shoe repair person.

I just got my double tour strap, and after all your reveals I confess I ordered the single tour watch 4 to replace my 3!!! So I’ll have to wait for the colored faces. But here are a few pics, my wrist is 150 to 160, and the double tour works on the second hole with my series 3. It is snug, but not uncomfortable. Hope this helps! This gorgeous swift band with fabulous H pinks is just luscious in every way. It’s like getting a new bracelet and a new watch! And my new single tour watch is same color strap, which means a single tour full Bordeaux, and double tour full pink, and the three colors double tour. Can’t wait as it won’t ship til about Oct 20.

Good luck to all!
