Have you tried EBay? Although, if you do find a Hermes band on eBay, use caution with the seller and imitation bands.
I found one for almost twice the MSRP price, so that's not going to work. Yes, the imitations are what concerns me about eBay. I guess I will just have to keep monitoring the Hermès site.
Here is a good article of what i was saying earlier about Apple Watch: http://www.theverge.com/2017/3/14/14920986/apple-watch-design-smartwatch
Personally, I'm waiting for the Series 3. My first-gen is still fine and I see no major reason to upgrade besides battery life, speed and water resistance. Hopefully the Series 3 will be a larger improvement that will entice me to upgrade.
Currently the major rumor with Series 3 is LTE and a slightly revamped display. But it should be interesting to see if Series 3 even exists this fall.
I think it will exist - Apple will want to keep the yearly upgrade cycle now (or maybe they'll go with every 18-months?). As for LTE, I don't see the point. Why would I want to pay a carrier £X/month to use the internet from my watch whenever I don't have my phone on me? I always have my phone on me (hence why the Series 2's GPS isn't anything much (though I guess it saves iPhone battery?)), so LTE isn't something I'm bothered about.
I think the GPS on the Series 2 is more geared toward runners. I never owned the original Apple Watch. But being able to leave my phone at home and still get accurate run tracking and listen to music all from my watch is one of my favorite features of the watch I bought a few weeks ago. I do agree though that the GPS isn't much of a draw if you don't do much running/walking with the watch.
I could care less about LTE. But it is s requested feature by many and it's an opportunity to expand with the Apple Watch beyond its current wifi/bluetooth capabilities.
I'd agree - it is aimed more at runners.
Just read this article (ironically only published < 1 hour ago) which makes some good points about why LTE could be useful.
Doesn't need to be any thinner to me. Thicker? No thanks, but it's pretty perfect thickness as it is
For me, a true watch has some thickness or added weight for substantiality. I like to know that I'm wearing it and that's when the preferences of the stainless steel model, I think the thickness is perfect and It has a more premium feel over the aluminum model. I'm completely fine with the overall depth of the Apple Watch.
Same here. I don't see a drastic design change for the Apple Watch coming anytime soon....
My thoughts are the next major revamp will be approximately around March 2018 for the Apple Watch. With a redesigned casing, perhaps micro-LED, additional Health sensors, even the rumors were indicating battery powered watch bands. So it should be fairly interesting.
I hate that we won't see a revision until next year. I was hoping to scoop an apple watch up this year as I waited on the S2 release (I wanted the Nike edition).
I'd rather wait until a redesign comes into play and then go for that. I also, oddly enough, have been eyeing the samsung gear 2 (or wait for 3) with that long Led screen.

I love my Apple Watches that I own and I wear them daily, but I'm not purchasing the same physical design for Series 3, if one does debut in September 2017. I'm ready for a redesign, and/or some different physical changes. Having the same iteration for three Apple watches doesn't really entice me want to purchase same looking watch again for a third generation. I share your views with this.
I still believe March 2018 will be the major overhaul for the Apple Watch.
I upgraded to Series 2 (Nike) back in November. Series 0 I use at work and my Series 2 is for my leisure time.
That's what I do. I rotate my Watches based on my schedule or what I am doing for the day.
I got my AW as soon as they came out, wear it daily and am still very happy with it. I will certainly upgrade it with another AW, but not yet.
To me, the pure genius about the Stainless steel version is the versatility!
It's a dead awesome running watch with a sports strap and a stunning watch with my work suit and tie attached to the Saddle brown leather strap
So, you want a different design...yet still capable of using same bands as the older Watches...pretty much necessitating the same lugless design (square/rectangle)? You don't want it to be any thinner (as you wrote earlier)...so, same thickness (if not more). So, what exactly are you expecting to change?
BUT, you want CHANGES!! A REDESIGN even!!
Those are strict criteria for any designer!
