Pride Month is approaching and to commemorate the occasion, Apple is launching new Apple Watch bands and faces.
There are two: a Nike Pride watch face and a Pride Threads face (Nike is available for people who wear the Nike edition of the watch). Both are available to users of the Apple Watch Series 4 or later; just make sure watchOS.8.6 is working and your iPhone is running 15.5 or later. To download them, open the Watch app on your iPhone and see the “Face Gallery” below the “New Clock Faces” section. Find what you want and tap “add.”
According to Apple, Pride Threads’ face “brings together colors that represent the LGBT community. Threads are transformed to create time and respond to the movement of the wrist. they.

The face of Nike is rainbow colored and goes with the complementary band (more information below).
The two new Pride Edition bands include a color-graded Pride Edition sports loop and the word “pride” woven into the band in a cursive style that Apple says recalls the original “hello” greeting on the first Macintosh computer, none in 1984. The band itself is designed to move and adjust, so it’s easy to wear when you’re active.
The other sports loop from the Pride edition of Hike includes a rainbow-colored band that matches the face of the watch mentioned above.

“Along with Nike’s Be True collection, the Sport Loop honors people who are expanding the sport for future generations and inspiring others to feel the joy of being truly themselves. Be True is part of Nike’s broader commitment to the LGBTQ + community, which focuses on recognition, advocacy, inspiration and education, “Apple said in a statement.
These moves are combined with a new “Shot on iPhone” campaign, which, according to Apple, will capture “the essence of the artists and figures of the global LBGTQ + community.”
