New Spring Apple Watch Band Colors Coming Soon

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.

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

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.

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. ?
