The Pride Edition Sport Band is priced at Rs 4,500 and comes in three sizes.
Animated watch faces and wallpapers react to user interaction and device movement.
The updates will be released later this month with watchOS 11.5, iOS 18.5, and iPadOS 18.5.
Apple has officially announced the new Pride Edition Sport Band for Apple Watch, as well as matching iPhone and iPad wallpapers, as part of its annual Pride Month celebration. The new watch band will be available for purchase through the Apple Store app, online, at Apple retail stores, and authorised reseller outlets, starting next week with pre-orders starting today. The band is made up of multicoloured silicone stripes that are hand-assembled, resulting in slight variations between units. The band, priced at Rs 4,500, is available in three sizes: 40mm, 42mm, and 46mm, in both S/M and M/L lengths.
SurveyAdditionally, the company will also be releasing a matching watch face and lock screen wallpapers. For the unversed, the Pride Harmony watch face uses animated rainbow stripes that shift to form clock numerals when the watch is raised. These wallpapers for iPhones and iPads will also respond to the user interaction, changing as the device is moved or locked.

“Featuring a tapestry of rainbow stripes that vary in shape and size, each Pride Edition Sport Band is assembled by hand from individual stripes of vibrant colour that are compression-molded together, creating subtle yet striking variations. No two bands are exactly alike, reflecting the individuality of all members of the LGBTQ+ community,” the company stated.
The Pride Harmony watch face and iPhone and iPad wallpaper will make its debut later this month with the watchOS 11.5, iOS 18.5, and iPadOS 18.5. Apple has not commented further on the timing of the updates or the specific software release dates at the moment.
