Nike Apple Watch bands exist because the collaboration makes sense, people run and do active things with a fitness oriented watch.
Beats cobranded bands would make sense because...?

You make it sound like Apple needs Nike, rather than the other way around lol
Apple doesn't need Nike.
Also, Nike doesn't need Apple.
And to your point, Beats doesn't need Apple either. They had nothing to do with each other until recently.
Nike is a fashion accessory brand which aligns with being an accessory to the Watch.
Beats is an audio brand and just out of the blue made iPhone cases which really was a move made by Apple. They’re simply Apple cases with the Beats branding.
What kind of design do you have in mind that Beats can offer to the Apple Watch?

Apple and Beats are one of the same, so one doesn’t need the other. And you could argue that Beats is very much Apple’s sports-focused brand, with their marketing using high profile athletes like LeBron James, Shohei Ohtani, and Lionel Messi. In fact, the tagline for the Powerbeats Pro 2 is “built for athletes.” So it wouldn’t be out of place if they came out with bands designed for fitness.
There was an article by 9to5Mac or MacRumors (I can’t remember which) which said that marketing products under the Beats brand could be a way for Apple to continue selling their non-carbon neutral accessories while working towards their 2030 carbon neutrality goal.
They sell one pair of headphones for working out. They pay athletes for endorsements. It was started by two music industry people…
AirPods are waterproof and great for working out and Apple does tons of athlete endorsements and the original AirPods ad featured a skateboarder…
Aquamarine braided solo loop (white ceramic)
Peony braided solo loop (white ceramic)
Beautiful combo!!!
Yes but you can just get the silicone solo loop version
I def like the braided better. The material is nicer! I’d gotten the northern lights in braided instead of silicone if they had it. It’s just more comfortable.
Have aquamarine everything so I’ll see how I feel lol
Australia sport loop (silver aluminum)
Glad I kept my ceramic S5, your pictures with braided peony and aquamarine made me bought those strats instantly !
It’s a sin how long I left it unpaired the last few months because I took gray ceramic back from pops
But it pairs with like five bands
Trying too hard is exactly how 6 eludes you
