It’s Pride Month, and that means a new Pride Edition Apple Watch band. I have the latest 2024 band, and it’s my new favorite.
It’s June, which means it’s Pride Month. This takes place every year to honor the ongoing struggle for civil rights for the LGBTQ+ community, as well as the achievements of those LGBTQ+ individuals.
One of the things I look forward to each year for Pride Month is Apple’s release of the Apple Watch Pride Band. In 2016, Apple distributed exclusive Pride bands to its employees who participated in San Francisco’s Pride parade.
Then, in 2017, Apple began to sell Pride Edition Apple Watch bands to the public. The first Pride band was the nylon strap, but it did not include a matching Pride watch face. In the following years, Apple began to have a matching watch face for each year’s Pride band release.
This year, Apple’s Pride Edition Braided Solo Loop is accompanied by the Pride Radiance watch face, and it’s one of my favorites to date.An improved version of the 2021 Pride band
If this year’s Pride Edition Braided Solo Loop looks a little familiar, that’s because it is. It has the same overall design as the 2021 Pride Braided Solo Loop but with the addition of more colors.
For the record, the 2021 Pride Edition Braided Solo Loop was one of my absolute favorite Apple Watch bands. I wore that one every day for several months — it got dirty, and I did throw it in the washer to clean it every so often.
