Apple Watch Gets Two New Pride Sport Bands, Including Nike Edition

[MacRumors]

Apple today announced it has released two new Pride-themed Sport Bands for the Apple Watch, including a Sport Band and Nike Sport Band in 40mm and 44mm sizes. Both of the bands are available starting today on Apple.com and at select Apple Store locations.

The bands can be paired with new matching Pride watch faces coming in watchOS 6.2.5, which remains in beta testing.

Through this effort, Apple and Nike said they are proud to support LGBTQ advocacy organizations worldwide, including GLSEN, PFLAG, The Trevor Project, Gender Spectrum, The National Center for Transgender Equality, and ILGA World, which brings together more than 1,500 member organizations in more than 150 countries and regions.

Last year's Pride band was a nylon Sport Loop.

I’ve always thought the pride ones look horrible (hopefully people will understand that disliking the aesthetics has nothing to do with the cause itself). Absolutely love the nike one though - it’s very subtle.

It mentions today on Apple.com, so not too long hopefully.

Nike one is really, really nice!

 

[vidjahgamz]

I wonder when they'll *actually* be available today on Apple.com? Not seeing them yet.

Definitely need that Nike one!

 

[viettanium]

so iOS 13.5 coming today!

 

[martyjmclean]

These are the first Pride bands I actually like. I’m gonna cop that Nike one!

I wish the Nike band would come in black; I’ve got a white nike band that, while great for work and working out, gets awfully dingy. Still, always love seeing the new pride bands (although i miss my beloved nylon bands, still my favorite style ever) and will probably get one or both.

Same here! I went on to buy the Nike one but I’m not seeing it yet.

 

[Advsxd7]

Love the Nike Edition one!

 

[Scottsoapbox]

LOL. "Support" 1500 organizations by giving money to two huge companies.

Same here! I went on to buy the Nike one but I’m not seeing it yet.

Looks like they are up on the site now.

Both are ugly.

 

[nortonandreev]

Just got the Nike one.

 

[recoil80]

Love the Nike Edition one!

The Nike bands are my favourite for summer when it gets hot, those holes help!
This variant is really cool, good job. I'm not fond of the other rainbow band.

 

[nfl46]

The Nike one is really nice.

 

[CIA]

+1 for the Nike one!

 

[roncron]

Just ordered the Nike Pride band.

 

[Naaaaak]

Make an RGB band so I can set my own colors.

<-- Patent Prior Art right here.

 

[markfc]

I'd love one but £50 for a bit of plastic...
If they were realistically priced at £19.99 or something I'd buy a whole bunch.

 

[chrono1081]

Got the Nike one. I'll likely only ever wear it at a pride event but since those are cancelled this year I'll wear it next year. I don't like the gaudy in your face rainbows but the subtle ones are nice.

 

[lunarworks]

That Nike band is really clever.

 

[ryanwarsaw]

As a gay man I couldn't wear that rainbow band and double yuck with the rainbow face on the watch.

 

[marmiteturkey]

ordered the Nike one in time for the hot weather this weekend.
