Several photos of the decorated Apple Store locations have been shared on Twitter, showing off stripes in different country colors. Both the new Apple Watch bands and the striped Apple Store decorations come ahead of the 2021 Olympic Games that are set to begin in Tokyo, Japan on Friday, July 23. Apple Stores in Japan, Italy, the U.S., and other countries are featuring the new design.

Time to buy one, no?

Oh God they're getting worse and worse... Pull yourself together man

The bands look great when combined with the watch faces. Really like what they did with the US band and face combo. Well done!

Canada's band is also PADI diver flag.

Don't mind me, just getting my post in before comments disabled.

Also most of the watch bands for the 44mm are out of stock unfortunately, I was looking to pick up a couple of them as they're really nicely themed.

This is uncharacteristically hideous for Apple Store decorations.

Is it weird to Americans that technically Australia’s (and others) flags are also red, white and blue?

I’m Australian but our flag is so alien to me. Every time I see it go ‘oh yeah, that’s what our flag looks like.’

I’m usually expecting something green or yellow.

As an American, I can’t say I ever thought twice about us having a similar colored flag. That said, I’ve always thought the Aussie flag was pretty cool looking.

The US flag is a fairly important symbol in our country. It was hanging in every classroom when I was growing up, and a number of Americans fly it in their front yards. My father was a veteran, and always had a flag flying when he was alive.

I’m not generally patriotic, like, *at all*, but I gotta say I think red white and blue flags are the most attractive. Britain, France, America*, Australia, all quite pretty.

*did you know America was named after someone who never even went there, by someone who never even went there?

Well most flags are pretty uggerz!

Looks like ass

Will the 44mm New Zealand band ever be in stock? The U.S. store has been out of stock shortly after release.

Canadian sport loop seems to be the closest match for that. Apart from CAN marking below the velcro.

No need to tear any band, or flag LOL.

Did I hear rumors about Apple Watch 7…?? Just broke my series 2 (3rd time) and now have to wait for the new generation. Sad but true

 

[svish]

Sales of the new watch bands should be soaring

 

[currocj]

In a word: dreadful

Aussie is of British descent. I would expect it to be red white and blue. If it was green and yellow I would think I was looking at an African flag.

Thats Aventura isnt it? We visited when in Florida back in April 2019 - I am from Perth Australia - was a long way to go - but well worth seeing it - love the monkeys...
