Hermes watch strap colour fading already / 2 week in

my new Hermes blue strap after two weeks is already looking discoloured and partly worn. I am worried what it going to look like after a couple of months! Over £300 to replace!

colour fades it is almost a month since I bought an Apple Watch Series 7 GPS, 45mm Starlight Aluminum Case with Golden Brown Leather Link. In the first week, I realized that in some spots the color of the strap is fading. now, as you can see in the following image they are getting black color and dark. I thought that I bought a high-quality product, but it is like I just wasted my money. a fake leather strap with a guarantee would cost me around 30 NZD and I paid 160 NZD for his band!! please let me know how can I complain about this?

Modern buckle watch strap My modern buckle watch strap in colour Azure (light blue) has developed a water stain on one side/edge. Any suggestions on how to clean/get this out? It's quite dark, and super disappointing for me to see as it's quite visible.

Apple Watch band - colour fading Hi, I bought a series 4 watch less than a year ago, the watch band is a sports band light pink. Unfortunately it os discoloured on the outside (shades of green). Strangely, the colour is fading on the outside but intact on the inside. I dont put any products on my wrists or forearms. I’ve taken in to the Apple Store where I bought it, their answer was that it wasn’t covered under the warranty, which was disappointing. Any idea why the colour is fading on these ‘Light pink’ bands, and whether this is a reversible process? thanks

That looks more like moisture absorbed into the band. Let it dry and check again!

Take it to Hermes for an evaluation or your nearest Apple Store. Where did you buy that strap?
