Apple releases Pride Edition straps for the Apple Watch Braided Solo Loop, Nike Sport Loop

The Apple Watch gets a couple of new straps in a new "Pride Edition" design along with a new Pride watch face. The Braided Solo Loop design weaves together the original rainbow colours from the different Pride flags, while the Nike Sport Loop showcases six colours of the original rainbow. 

The Braided Solo Loop's material is the same as the others, with a stretchable recycled yarn interwoven with silicone threads designed for ultra-comfort without clasps or buckles. It comes in 12 sizes. As for the Nike Sport Loop, it also features reflective yarn to help with visibility at night. Its design is more focused on durability and adjustability.

Alongside the new straps, there's also a new matching watch face. Apple includes a new App Clip functionality with the band's packaging for an easy way to access the design. When you rotate the Digital Crown or raise your wrist, the threads on the watch face will infinitely scroll.

The new Apple Watch Pride Edition straps are available to order today from Apple's online store and Apple Store app. They are expected to arrive at Apple retail stores on May 25. The Braided Solo Loop costs CAD 119, while the Nike Sport Loop retails for CAD 59.
