LGBTQI Pride Month may be drawing to a close on Thursday, but you can wear your pride on your sleeve or elsewhere all year long if you want — thanks to rainbow-themed Apple accessories in the Cult of Mac Store’s Pride collection.

In addition to several colorful watch bands discussed below, you can find a rainbow lanyard with a shock-proof iPhone case and a rainbow polka-dot MacBook Pro case.

BluShark AlphaPremier ‘Rainbow’ Apple Watch Band

One of BluShark’s flagship collections, AlphaPremier nylon straps for Apple Watch are made from a soft, supple seatbelt weave. The dual-layer straps are held in place with two nylon keepers, one of which can be slid into the perfect spot.

And needless to say, one of your color choices here is rainbow, a la pride (pictured above).

“I was intrigued when I learned BluShark makes a Watch band made of the same webbing used in automobile seatbelts,” Cult of Mac‘s reviewer said. “At first this seemed an odd choice of materials but I realized it made sense. Seatbelts are comfortable and strong, and that’s a lot of what I want out of an Apple Watch band.”

And he added he was surprised the bands came out looking so good.

The small size fits 38mm or 41mm Apple Watch (22mm band width. Large fits 42mm or 45mm Apple Watch (22mm band width). You can get the adapter in silver or space gray.

Price: $32.00

Juuk Ligero Rainbow Apple Watch Band

For a different rainbow look, try Juuk’s anodized aluminum Apple Watch bracelet. The Ligero Rainbow is Juuk’s third and probably most intriguing band because it’s the first made from extremely high-grade aluminum, which makes it strong but light — only 53g.

The band fits wrist sizes up to 214mm (8.42 inches), and comes with a tool for easy link removal to ensure a taut fit.

A microfiber cloth is also included for cleaning the band and your watch.

Comes in 38/41mm and 42/45mm Apple Watch sizes.
