Apple launches Apple Watch bands and faces for 22 countries ahead of Olympics

Apple has introduced a new collection of Sport Loop bands for the Apple Watch. There are a couple of unique aspects to these bands: They feature “bold designs that represent 22 nations around the world", according to Apple, and they come with accompanying watch faces.

The new "International Collection" is launching ahead of the Summer Olympics being held in Tokyo in July 2021. They are limited-edition soft bands designed to “celebrate the describable drive and competitive spirit of all athletes and fans". They're also paired with a downloadable Stripes watch face in matching colours. Each Stripes watch face will be available to download "soon" from Apple.com for all users with the Apple Watch Series 4 or later.
