Pride Luminance watch face

Apple’s description of the watch face:

The new Pride Luminance watch face complements the band design with colors that refract dynamically to celebrate the vibrancy, spirit, and individuality of the LGBTQ+ community. The face is designed in two geometric patterns: radial, featuring rays of color that align with the hour marks, and vertical, reflecting the colorful linear stripes of the weaving pattern. With this collection, users can customize the watch face with even more color options to create a unique expression of themselves and their communities.

The matching iPhone and iPad wallpaper features a complementary joyful and dynamic design with similarly customizable colors.

Availability

• iOS 26.5, iPadOS 26.5, and watchOS 26.5 are currently beta only, with release‑candidate versions expected soon.
• The public launch should follow within a week of the RCs shipping.
