Apple Releases New Apple Watch Pride Edition Bands

Apple has announced the release of two new Apple Watch Pride Edition bands; as well as, a new Pride Threads Watch Face.

Check them out below...


Pride Edition Sport Loop
Utilizing the Sport Loop form, the band features a double-layer nylon weave composed of soft and breathable textile loops. To create the Pride script, some of these textile loops were removed, resulting in a three-dimensional texture you can see and feel. On the reverse side, the attachment loops are securely anchored for superior durability. The hook-and-loop fastener allows for quick and easy adjustment.





Pride Edition Nike Sport Loop
Soft, breathable, and lightweight, the Pride Edition Nike Sport Loop features a nylon weave inspired by Nike’s Be True collection, an initiative to promote equality in sport. A hook-and-loop fastener makes for quick and easy adjustment, and dense loops on the skin side provide soft cushioning while allowing moisture to escape. On the reverse side, the attachment loops are securely anchored for superior durability.




Pride Threads Watch Face
Inspired by multiple pride flags, this new watch face combines colors to represent the strength and mutual support of the LGBTQ+ movement. Mirroring the woven loops of the Sport Loop, each strand of vibrant thread contributes to the overall composition of the watch face. The colorful threads move as the Digital Crown on Apple Watch is rotated, the display is tapped, or the user’s wrist is raised. Apple is also including new App Clip functionality within the band packaging to deliver a simple and convenient way for customers to immediately access the new matching watch face.
