My favorite one is the Nike Sport Band from last year. I wear it to show support to my students who know when they walk in my office I'm not going to attack them for their preference/identity. And it's comfortable and I like the colors 
I like the braided band from this year too, just to dang expensive!

Corporations will lobby what makes them the most money. I'm not sure how lobbying for anti-LGBTQ causes would help make money though. Apple has come under fire for lobbying causes that were considered anti human rights when it comes to their factory workers but that's because they're trying to keep costs down. The same people who complain about Apple not treating their emoyees better are complaining about the prices... If they start spending more money on their factory employees then prices will go up. You can't have it both ways ?♂️?
The original article from MR implied that there was a new Apple Watch coming alongside a new band
Every time a new watch face is added the watch app will send out a notification, if you don’t want it ignore it or turn off notifications for the watch app.
It's literally the 3rd sentence / 2nd paragraph which reads:
Apple will soon announce the launch of a new "Pride" edition of the Apple Watch Series 7, along with a selection of new bands to celebrate Pride Month, based on information shared by Bloomberg journalist Mark Gurman.
Crazy how some people react here about apple wanting to be inclusive, no one forces you to buy the band or to use the Watch face. I personally would not, but am very happy for the people who would.
Those reactions are why almost every "political" threads on this forum are moderated or restricted

Of course no different than other things: it’s all personal value judgements.
$99 shoes might seem wasteful to some, while the shoe folk may think $99 for a watch band is wasteful.
Subjectivity. True.
Special Edition/Limited Edition = $$$ for Apple.
My money is on Ukraine.
The original ones had at least a touch of class to them. These new ones with brown, black, white, etc. just look like hot garbage. The problem is you have people who will never be satisfied until their tiniest of tiny schism is represented in some public way so that they can make others "take notice" that they exist. A.) No one cares. B.) Just be a good person. C.) Things will take care of themselves.
oh, I do.

Apple are trying very hard to make the Apple Watch their first true luxury product; a fashion accessory that appeals to the upper end of the economic spectrum. Thankfully, the world at large is bringing Apple back down to earth in comic fashion, by crafting some of the most dreadful straps...

Agree on overpriced, disagree on third party quality, they are usually, way worse.
I'd wager that there is not a single third-party band that is better than any Apple band. They're very expensive, sometimes ridiculously so, but they're inarguably very nice and well-made.
Unironically...I am doing just this, just with a S7 Titanium, and with that exact band from 2015.oh, I do.

The gradient Nike face looks nice, too bad it doesn't look like it handles complications. Not a fan of the thread face, too many non-rainbow colors messing with the overall aesthetics.
