Those bands can also be matched up with new Stripes watch faces that compliment the bands and keep that patriotic them running from band to screen.
The timing of these bands and choice of nations points to getting Watch owners ready to show their support for Summer Olympic Games, which kicks off in July. There are of course other major sporting events currently taking place too, like the European Championships where Denmark are still involved. Brazil are also currently participating in the Copa America as the host nation.
The International Collection Apple Watch bands are up for grabs now from Apple’s website and are available for both 40mm and 44mm Watch sizes priced at $49. If you just want to have one of those watch faces to rock, you’ll be able to download them and still show your support during this busy summer of sport.
