Apple Releases New Apple Watch Bands and Watch Faces for LGBT+ Pride

This year, Apple did not want to miss the opportunity to show its support for the LGBT + community and announced New straps and watch faces for Apple Watch for Pride Month. The company, in particular, has released two new versions of its “Pride Edition” strap, which reflect the colors of the community and show the word “Pride” printed on the doll for the first time since the launch of these versions. On the other hand, the new spheres join those already available in the Watch app and retain the colors of the LGBT+ flag, as well as threads of the same hues that subtly move to the rhythm of the user’s wrist.

One of the new “Pride Edition” straps for the company’s smartwatches is Pride Edition Sports Loop. This one is made from the same materials as the rest of the sports bands available for the Apple Watch, but with a slight modification. The company emphasizes that a new technique has been used to eliminate several double-layer textile loops, allowing the word “Pride” to be embroidered on the strap. A word that, moreover, has a cursive style inspired by the distinctive “hello” Macintosh that Apple first showed in 1984.

The new Apple Watch band also includes the colors of the rainbow are featured on the LGBT flagas well as pink and blue toneswhich symbolize transgender or non-binary people, and black and brown colorswho represent the Black and Hispanic communities. Apple notes that the color combination also represents people who have been or have died from HIV.

Apple also wanted to introduce LGBT+ athletes with a new Nike Pride Edition Sports Loop. This also includes the colors of the LGBT+ flag. In this case, with slightly more saturated tones and with an exclusive watch face only for those users who have purchased the Apple Watch Nike Edition.
