Apple is celebrating Pride Month for another year by releasing new Apple
Watch bands and watch faces
.
As May 17 marks the International Day Against Homophobia and ahead of Pride
Month in June, Apple on Tuesday announced the 2022 edition of its
traditional Apple Watch Pride band. In addition, theres also a new
Pride-themed watch face that will be available to all users.
Apple is known for standing up for LGBTQIA+ rights, and every year the
company releases Apple Watch Pride bands so that members of the community
can show their pride. At the same time, the company also financially
supports LGBTQIA+ organizations working to bring about positive change upon
diversity.
Heres how Apple describes the new Edition Sport Loop band:
Members and allies of the LGBTQ+ creative community at Apple were inspired
to deliver a new expression of pride through this unique design. Utilizing
the comfortable, durable, and adjustable Sport Loop design, Apple used a new
technique to remove several of the double-layer nylon-woven textile loops on
the band to reveal the word pride in a cursive style inspired by the
original hello greeting displayed on the first Macintosh in 1984
giving the word a novel, three-dimensional look and feel.
Theres also a new Nike Loop Band. This is the first time Apple releases
more than on Pride band.
In addition to the new watch band, Apple is also introducing new watch faces
that are already available. Heres how Apple describes Pride Threads watch
face:
This face brings together colors that represent the LGBTQ community. The
threads morph to create the time and respond to the movement of your wrist.
You can also tap each thread or rotate the Digital Crown to send a vibration
across them.
The new Pride watch band is now available from the Apple Online Store for
$49, and it will hit Apple Retail Stores on May 26.
The new Pride Threads and Nike Pride watch faces are available to Apple
Watch Series 4 users or later. When you access the Watch app on the iPhone,
they will appear on the Face Gallery below the New Watch Faces section.
Your Apple Watch will need to be running watchOS 8.6 and your iPhone running
15.5 or later.
How to add the new Pride Threads watch face
To add the new watch face, follow the steps below:
Open the Watch app on the iPhone;
Tap Face Gallery on the bottom of the screen;
On the New Watch Faces section, select Pride Threads;
Tap Add.
Users can choose between a white or black background. If you own a Nike
edition of the Apple Watch, theres also an exclusive pride band available
as well that you can add in the same way as explained above.
You can find good deals on the Apple Watch, its charger, and bands on the
Amazon store.
