One of the most interesting strap models for the Apple Watch Hermes, the Double Tour, wasn’t easy to design. Apparently, while they were testing it with the watch, the second loop of the band was slipping under the device. Therefore, it was blocking the contact between the watch’s sensors and the wrist.
