New Apple Watch Straps with Custom Flags and Dials

New Apple Watch Straps with Custom Flags and Dials

Yesterday Apple presented new straps for its smart watches on the occasion of the 2020 Olympic Games. Yes, we are in 2021, but for health reasons this event was postponed to this year without changing its branding. These new Apple Watch bands carry precisely the flags of the main countries that will compete in those Tokyo Olympics that will begin on July 23. And they also come with surprises .

So are these straps (and their price)

These new straps are still the classic Sports Loop made with adjustable nylon fabric and whose breathability is the most suitable in times of heat like the current ones. Their main difference from the ones we already had is that they come equipped with the flags of the following 22 countries :

  • Australia
  • Germany
  • Belgium
  • Brazil
  • Canada
  • China
  • South Korea
  • Denmark
  • Spain
  • USA
  • France
  • Greece
  • Italy
  • Jamaica
  • Japan
  • Mexico
  • Netherlands
  • UK
  • New Zealand
  • Russia
  • South Africa
  • Sweden

And its price is 49 euros , which is the same as other straps of this style. They can be purchased now through Apple’s website, its Apple Store application on iOS and iPadOS, as well as in the company’s physical stores. Your shipments are for this week, so they are fully available. And although it is understood that the most popular will be those of each country, the truth is that you can buy any of them. They are advertised as a limited edition , so it is likely that they will end up being retired when the stock runs out.

Personalized and free spheres for everyone

If we look back to last year and remember the rumors and leaks that there were for watchOS 7, one of those that sounded louder was the possibility of creating new spheres with flags of many countries. Finally that operating system arrived and we only obtained creations made by third parties emulating those spheres, since they had not been incorporated natively. However, a year later and with watchOS 8 already presented, we finally find these new spheres.

It should be noted that they can be downloaded for free from Apple’s own website being on watchOS 7 or later and regardless of whether you get the new straps or not, although if you buy one you will have access to the download link from the box in which this will come packed. To do this, you must follow these simple steps:

  1. On your iPhone, open the Apple website.
  2. Go to the Apple Watch section.
  3. Look for the “International collection” section and click on “See the countries”.
  4. Choose the flag you want to have and click below where it says “Add sphere to Apple Watch”. The moment you do this you will see that the Watch app opens and you are allowed to add as a face to your watch.

It is likely that the Californian company had planned this launch last year and although it has not officially presented them as part of its marketing for the Olympic Games, the truth is that the relationship that exists with this event is evident. It even arrives in time for those lucky ones whose football teams are still alive in the Eurocup that is being held in these weeks and whose celebration was also scheduled for last year.
