2023 Pride Band for Apple Watch Now Available to Order

[MacRumors]

The new Pride Edition band for the Apple Watch is now available to order for $49 on Apple.com and in the Apple Store app, and will be available at Apple Store locations beginning May 24. The band is compatible with the Apple Watch Series 3 and newer.

Inspired by the LGBTQ+ community, the new Pride band features a sprinkles-like design showcasing the original Pride flag colors and five others:

Inspired by the strength and beauty of the LGBTQ+ community, the new Sport Band design showcases the original pride flag rainbow colors and five others — black and brown symbolize Black and Latin communities, in addition to those who have passed away from or are living with HIV/AIDS, while light blue, pink, and white represent transgender and nonbinary individuals.

A matching Pride Celebration watch face for the Apple Watch and iPhone wallpaper are available on devices updated to watchOS 9.5 and iOS 16.5.

Apple releases a new Pride band each year and continues to support and bring awareness to LGBTQ+ advocacy organizations around the world.

This watch band is incredibly fugly.

I do love the iPhone wallpaper this year, though!

 

[Spaceboi Scaphandre]

Mmm pride sprinkles. Now I want ice cream. Thanks Apple

 

[SamRyouji]

Mmm...rainbow sprinkles. Just in time for summer, just add vanilla ice cream. ❤️

 

[polyphenol]

So ugly, I wouldn't wear it even if Apple paid me $49.

 

[dchronus]

I really love the phone wallpaper but the watch face and band are one of my least favorite Pride designs I’ve seen 🙁

 

[Ninjasrule]

this is by far one of the ugliest Pride bands ever. the Nike Pride band is one of my favorites.

Apple's Next Idea: You have to pay them 4.99 a month to unlock them automatically putting the pride flag on your lock screen and desktop.

I'm glad you see sprinkles and ice cream and now that you say it I'm trying to see that too. To me it just looks like a microscopic view of bacteria. Maybe bacteria having a party.

 

[Zaft]

The wallpaper has a cool animation when unlocked, but it’s too bright for me to use.

 

[appleguy123]

This one is a skip. I have 3 others but you couldn’t pay me to wear this one. My favorite is still the original woven nylon one.

 

[DEMinSoCAL]

Mmm...rainbow sprinkles. Just in time for summer, just add vanilla ice cream. ❤️

Why not Neapolitan?

 

[japanime]

I'm not a fan of the sprinkles design, at least based on the pictures. However, I want to see the band in person. It might look quite nice when it's actually being worn.

 

[Nozuka]

I like the dark version of the watch face and wallpaper.
Would prefer a dark band to match them. (and space black)

 

[Spaceboi Scaphandre]

Why not Neapolitan?

Because strawberry tastes like garbage lmao

I await all the quote replies and dislikes.

 

[cocky jeremy]

They always somehow manage to make a pretty rainbow look ugly as ****. lol.

 

[dmr727]

This one is a skip. I have 3 others but you couldn’t pay me to wear this one. My favorite is still the original woven nylon one.

I see the original woven one at work a lot, and it definitely looks really nice.

 

[AdamHarbour]

Designed by apple in the campus nursery ! 🤷‍♂️

 

[AirunJae]

Don't hate the design. However, I find the sport band style of band, while comfy, to be not very breathable with any perspiration.

 

[xDKP]

Mmm...rainbow sprinkles. Just in time for summer, just add vanilla ice cream. ❤️

Thinking the same

This watch band is incredibly fugly.

Same thoughts.

Also, the Pride watchface (even the one with numbers) is really kinda fugly

Thinking the same

maybe the design appeals to cake makers?

I have a friend who loves "funfetti cake" even though it really is nothing more than white cake with sprinkles. The sprinkles add visuals but does absolutely nothing for taste. I think maybe this year's pride band and watchface appeals to folks like that?

It's so funny you say this because, to me, they look pretty similar. It's just rainbow shapes on a white background lol.

I like the design, definitely cool to see another unique band. Since every one is different and no two will have the same pattern, it follows the 2021 Unity Sport Band, 2020 Pride Sport Band, and even the Hermes Madison bands as having its own pattern. These bands will never not be cool to me.

 

[bob_zz123]

Ordered.
I actually really like it. It is very bright but I quite like that! And it's nice to see some new Sport Bands too as I can't get on with the non-adjustable sport loops.

 

[Lioness~]

If I had an AW, it would’ve ben a reason to consider it. Never interested me though. What too BIG for my wrists.
Looks joyful, and ’Pridey' though.

My Watch is black, no Apple, with black bands, always. So funny am I when it comes to that.
