The Apple Watch Sport Loop band was woven from nylon thread to create a hook-and-loop closure. These bands were available for the 41 mm and 45 mm Apple Watch models, and were offered in sizes to fit 130–200 mm wrists (41 mm) and 145–220 mm wrists (45 mm). The bands also fit older Apple Watch sizes.
This band has a white background with a multi-color rainbow reminiscent of the LGBTQ+ flag with thread colors of black, purple, royal blue, light blue, light green, goldenrod, salmon, red, and brown. The edges, plastic connectors, and closure are white. On the opposite side of the rainbow design that creates the hook-and-loop closure, the background is transparent white to show a lighter version of the rainbow pattern with the word “pride” written in cursive revealing the bright rainbow pattern within the letters.
Apple described the Pride Edition Sport Loop band:
“Inspired by the strength and inclusivity of the LGBTQ+ community, the Pride Edition Sport Loop displays a vibrant gradient that unites the core Pride flag and five new colors: Black and brown symbolize marginalized LGBTQ+ communities of color, as well as those currently living with HIV/AIDS and those who have passed away from it. Light blue, pink, and white honor transgender and nonbinary individuals.”
“Utilizing the Sport Loop form, the band features a double-layer nylon weave composed of soft and breathable textile loops. To create the Pride script, some of these textile loops were removed, resulting in a three-dimensional texture you can see and feel. On the reverse side, the attachment loops are securely anchored for superior durability. The hook-and-loop fastener allows for quick and easy adjustment.”
“Apple is proud to financially support LGBTQ+ advocacy organizations working to bring about positive change.”
