New Spring Apple Watch Band Colors Coming Soon

[MacRumors]

Apple often refreshes Apple Watch band colors on a seasonal basis, and code in iOS 17.4 suggests that new spring colors will be coming soon.

As found by MacRumors contributor Steve Moser, the spring colors include Light Blue, Ocean Blue, Pink, Raspberry, Soft Mint, and Sunshine (likely a light yellow). There are also two Hermes colors, Bleu Céleste and Jaune de Naples.

When released, these colors will be available for watch faces that support different color options, and they'll be listed in a Spring 2024 section in the Apple Watch app on iPhone. Right now, the colors are not showing up there.

Apple often also uses these same colors for new iPhone cases and iPad cases. If we get a spring event this year around the end of March, we can expect to see these band options and possibly new cases that offer the same colors.

My Series 4 died after a swim in the river, and I haven't had the financial abundance to replace it yet. Maybe by 2030. 🤣

need a braided solo loop that somehow doesn't stretch out so much, by far the most comfortable band

Considering the strong rumor of a new attachment design on the next watch, anyone thinking of upgrading in the next couple of years should probably sit out a new band purchase.

 

[minik]

Looking forward for some Spring colors.

So... the Ultra just never gets new official band colors?

I wonder when the new attachment system will come in... I also wonder if they will accept used and obsolete watch bands back as part of their recycling programme. There will be a whole load of watch bands floating around in the next few years if they do introduce a new system... and that would deal a big blow to any environmental focus/claims they have on any other aspects of their hardware going forward.

give the Ultra some spring love this year please

They need to get rid of those horrendous two tone colour combinations. Beige, navy? So old fashioned and gaudy. I bought an ultra 2 for Christmas and I actually hated every single strap. Seriously, they are all disgusting, I should be able to pick what colour I want, not some two tone mess that offends my eyes and fashion sense.

Complex engineering project (car) gets 86'ed, but hey "We got new bands." Software QC in the toilet overall. At some point Tim you've got to enable the harder engineering stuff as well.

Sometimes I think about replacing my black Sport Band with something newer and more exciting, and then I realize I can't find anything that looks and FEELS better. 😩

You can get a used series 7 with applecare for $200. With 84% battery health.

Hmmmm....maybe someone can come up with a color changing band?

Series 4? Wow.. They aren’t that expensive, especially second hand ones! You’d easily get one for 200 bucks. Hardly need for abundance. Now if you want an ultra, that’s another story! 🤣

Tim Apple is like... sure buddy we can't innovate anymore, but that doesn't mean you can't have new Watch Straps.

 

[contacos]

Just in time

Why? It’s waterproof

 

[Rychiar]

Great more pastels. That’s all we need

 

[AppleWarMachine]

hopefully some new Nike band colors, the last batch was terrible.

I may be wrong, but I have a hunch that the programmers at Apple aren't the ones working on Watch band designs.

Bring back leather please

 

[macduke]

give the Ultra some spring love this year please

I'm new to Ultra with my Ultra 2, do they not update their bands in the Spring? Seems dumb. I would buy one, especially since I'm not a fan of most of the current options. They're so drab, unless you want a bright neon safety orange ocean band.

I have this old one which has a nice pop of blue, but overall is a little boring.

 

[Robert.Walter]

Can’t do a car but hell we can do new band colors.
