This year’s Apple Watch band celebrating Pride is on sale right now. Here’s what it looks and feels like, plus some details you may not have read anywhere else.
Apple has changed how it sells the Sport Band. It still comes in two pieces, the buckle with the pin-and-tuck and the longer half with the holes. Previously, you’d get two sizes of the longer half, one for small/medium and one for medium/large. Now, you choose between the two sizes according to your wrist. For the 41mm size, S/M fits wrists measuring 130-180mm while M/L suits 150-200mm wrists. On the strap for the 45mm case, S/M fits 140-190mm, while wrists measuring 160-210mm will suit M/L.
Initial images had left people wondering if the minute and hour hands change color to match the capsules at the edges of the first face, called Motion. But it’s cleverer than that. The clue is in the name. As you look at the Watch face, the colored capsules rotate around the clock, altering their relationship to each other as they go. And the minute and hour hand do indeed change color subtly to match the capsules. Oh, and if you tap the screen, the capsules respond exactly to your touch.
And it’s worth remembering that Apple gives money to relevant organizations. As it says, “Apple is proud to financially support LGBTQ+ advocacy organizations working to bring about positive change.” These include Equality Federation Institute, Encircle, Equality North Carolina, Equality Texas, Gender Spectrum, GLSEN, Human Rights Campaign, PFLAG, The National Center for Transgender Equality, SMYAL, The Trevor Project and ILGA World.
