Looking for your advice please.
I have both the small Series 10 Hermès and the UW2 Hermès.
Lots of Hermès straps for the small Apple Watch also.
But I find it sometimes a bit small and the UW2 not always suitable (office, dinner, pretty thick ...)
So I was wondering if a big 46mm Series 10 (or maybe 11 at this time of the year) was a good idea.
For my strap collection for sure not but I have another issue; I have a small wrist and it looks like the rubber bands (and even the leather one) are too big for me. At the early time of the AW Apple was providing two size (S/M and M/L) but I don't think it's the case anymore.
So anyone with a small wrist and 46mm AW ? How do you deal with it ?
Thanks! ... and I'm not looking in definitive answers here, just your opinion.

If you have a (relatively) small wrist, all 46 Hermès bands may well be „too big“ in the sense that Hermès, for whatever reason, punches very few holes in them. For leather straps it‘s relatively easy to have additional holes punched (or even to do it yourself), for textile straps not so much.

FWIW, I always wore the larger Watch size (46, today) and never had this problem with any Apple strap, only Hermès. And yes, for Sport bands Apple still produces S/M and M/L versions, but you have too choose nowadays while in the earlier days they packed both in the same SKU.

Reporting after around 2 months of daily use of the Simple Tour Tricot including 2 weeks wearing it 24 hours during a vacation in Florida which means beach, swimming in the ocean and in the pool, shower, workout etc.

According to Hermès (translated from French) : "the single tour knitted nylon strap "En Mer" of the Apple Watch Hermès Ultra is resistant to water and corrosion, and dries quickly: about in 1 hour at 20°C.
Also, this model is designed to be used during sports activities.
So you can use it for your sports sessions and clean it with mild soap and a soft brush."

I assumed that this what the same for the Tricot 😅

As you can see on the pictures it's pretty in good shape. I was just careful to rinse it with clean water after going into the salted water of the sea.

Thanks for your answer.
But Hermès 46mm only comes with the M/L version of the Sport bands, right ?
