Apple has launched two new Pride Edition
bands for the Apple Watch. This includes a colorful new Sport Band and also a
new variant in the Nike Sport Band series.
The Pride Edition Sport Band has a
striking design with the rainbow colors running across the entire length of the
band. Apple says the band is "assembled by hand from individual strips of
colored fluoroelastomer. The strips are then machine die-cut and compression
molded together. This process results in subtle variations in the wavy rainbow
design, making each band artfully unique." It comes in the usual two
sizes, 44mm/42mm and 42/38mm, and you can pick based on your Apple Watch size.
Either way, it's priced at US$ 49.
The Pride Edition Nike Sport Band is more
subtle and in-line with the theme of the Nike Sport Band models. The band
itself is a monochromatic white but the rainbow colors are integrated within
the perforations. This band is also available in two sizes and is priced at US$ 49.
Apple also has some new Pride Edition
watch faces coming with the watchOS 6.2.5 update that will join the existing
ones match the design of the new bands.
