Yeah, I don’t think this one will sell well. And I agree that the original band was the most attractive, probably because it was the original rainbow, which was iconic, universal, and already represented everyone.
Got a tip for us?

Agree, it just looks like rainbow sprinkles lol. Nothing that really screams "pride"
I'm trying to decide if the watchband looks like donut sprinkles or colorful bacteria.
You don't actually have to have strawberry in a Neapolitan! I tend to think of pistachio, chocolate and vanilla or lemon.Because strawberry tastes like garbage lmao
I await all the quote replies and dislikes.
This looks like something a 3rd grader made in MS Paint during computer lab.

Next year we want this color combination back.
Agreed. Still love the 2020 one and wear it regularly but looking forward to Thursday already.
Every June, I put on my 2019 Pride Sport Loop and switch to the 2020 Pride watchface. The later editions have all been kind of … well, muted. Colorful swirls, colored sprinkles … feels like more like plausible deniability than out loud and proud.
I'm in the "Rainbow Club," and this feels like rainbow-washing. It doesn't look like Pride. It looks like ice cream sprinkles that Apple decided needed to be rainbow-washed into that.
I feel pandered to...
Curious Post-Script: The Progress Pride Flag would have made a way better band than this garbage.

Someone who has worn pride colors in the past. I don’t like this configuration. Why because it looks scatterbrained. It can be a lot better and a lot more consistent with pride looking design and colors. That’s just My View point on this. I have support friends with these colors for many years. This is one color scheme I will not have anything to do with.
I'm not a fan of the band, and I tried the iPhone wallpaper and just didn't like it. I reverted back to the previous wallpaper and bands -- something I wear all year. But kudos for the continued support, Apple!
Very happy to live in a world where I can share my pride about a sexual preference by paying a trillion dollar company 50 bucks.
Hate it, but I like the watch face when it’s set to black. I feel a black sprinkles band would have been a better choice.
This is the least gay-pride-like design to ever come out of Apple. The colors of the rainbow might be present, but the colors are not aligned - it is pertinent that LGTBQ chose a rainbow to represent gay pride because the colors blend into each other and that represents the melting pot of different LGTBQIA experiences & how people of different colors can blend together. This new Apple design smashes that ideology to pieces by separating & severing the rainbow.
I use black wallpaper with red colored font to keep it easy on the eyes, but this one is kind of fun... I just don't understand why you're limited to two font color options.
