I may have to get the Germany, Sweden and United States.
...some countries are just similar colours but reversed :
GB
Russia
GB
Russia
Description says downloadable so I imagine there’ll be an app clip on the packaging like the pride bands with a link to the matching watch face
Somebody say Olympics without being able to say Olympics? Kerching.
I've ordered the GB one and I will wear it during the Olympics.
hinestly not a fan of the pride but it’s great for some. I do agree these bands are probably best especially to better weave the colours, and that pride band does look good - someone at apple has skills.
hopefully Apple takes note and makes country flag bands like this.
Looks like they are just presets for the Stripes watch face. You can easily create them yourself already, no sw update needed.
Why do you say that?! You may not agree with the country but it is a country none the less and has global trade amongst many Olympians and many gold medals in this thread you should show a little more decorum as every country is valid.
no, look to the right.
yes, some countries have similar colors in their flags, is that apple's fault? ever noticed how the puerto rican flag is basically a reversed cuban flag?
so not a fan of the sport bands... these could be so much more fun if they used the braided solo loops instead...
....good idea although I'm not sure how these bands hold up to sweaty wrists during a workout!!
The Father of the Nation of the Netherlands is William of Orange (William the Silent). Orange is actually a city in southern France, but anyway, since William of Orange the colour orange has been strongly associated with the Netherlands.
btw if you don’t like it you can just get the Russian one, same colours as the Dutch flag!
Considering, by my count, 42 countries sent more athletes to the last Summer Games than Jamaica, I can sort of see @kerr's point. On the other hand, Jamaica has seemingly (I haven't looked into these numbers) had a larger impact on the Games than a fair amount of countries who sent more athletes. EDIT: They finished 16th in the medals count.
Either way, I think the Jamaica band looks amazing with the Space Gray watch.
In for GB and Jamaica. Rest are meh for me.
edit: GB 44 is gone so replaced it with S. Africa.

Mexico one is actually ideal for Italy.
