The band is woven from 11 colours of nylon yarn in a rainbow pattern. Apple said the weaving technique blends colours to create depth and movement across the design. The band is available in three sizes: 40mm, 42mm and 46mm, covering the current Apple Watch lineup.
New watch face and wallpapers
A new Pride Luminance watch face accompanies the band. The face displays colours that shift dynamically and is available in two geometric patterns: radial, with colour rays aligned to hour markers, and vertical, mirroring the linear stripes of the band weave. Users can customise the face with additional colour options, Apple said.
Matching wallpapers for iPhone and iPad feature a similar design with customisable colours. Both the watch face and wallpapers will be available after the release of watchOS 26.5, iOS 26.5 and iPadOS 26.5, according to Apple.
Support for LGBTQ+ organisations
Apple said it provides financial support to organisations that serve LGBTQ+ communities, though the company did not specify which groups receive funding or the amounts involved.
The Pride Collection follows Apple’s annual tradition of releasing limited-edition accessories during Pride Month. Previous years have featured braided bands and gradient-coloured designs celebrating the LGBTQ+ community.
