Apple Watch Pride 2025 Sports band Review: To be proud of

In 2025, Apple released a new pride band for the Apple Watch. And we have to be honest: this time it is quite unique.

For this reason, the Pride Edition sports band 2025 is worth it

This time we were not immediately wildly enthusiastic when Apple showed the new Pride Band of 2025 for the first time. The design feels a bit messier and a bit less sleek than in previous years.

Yet the Pride band is quite unique this year. Each Pride Edition sports band is formed under pressure and consists of different, colored strips that vary in shape and size. According to Apple, this process is done by hand, creating small variations in every band. That is fun and makes every Apple Watch Pride band of 2025 quite unique.

In 2024, Apple opted for a braided solo band for Pride, but this time it has become a sports band again. These sports bands are great for athletes and are comfortable on the wrist. So the pride band also inherits these benefits.

Keep in mind that you take the right size. The Pride Edition sports band is available for an Apple Watch of 40 mm, 42 mm and 46 mm. In addition, the strap is available in sizes S/M as in m/l.

Another advantage is that sports straps are less expensive than the woven straps. The Pride 2025 band for the Apple Watch therefore costs this year 49 euros. Last year’s was 99 euros.

Conclusion: Mini review Apple Watch Pride Bandje 2025

It is good that Apple releases a Pride Edition band every year and they must of course continue to do that. It is a pity that this time the print on the tape is less beautiful than in previous years. On the other hand, it is nice that every band is virtually unique and you always have your ‘own’ band.

In addition, you have all the benefits that you also have with a normal sports band. You can easily clean it, the material is flexible and the strap is comfortable. In addition, you also get the disadvantages of these bands and that means she can sweat a little faster.
