Apple Pride Luminance watch face launches in watchOS 26.5 with 12 colors

Apple's 2026 Pride watch face lets users stack 12 colors into gradients on a $49 annual tradition.

The Short Version

Apple's watchOS 26.5 adds the Pride Luminance watch face with 70 color choices, 11 preset combos, and a rotating glass layer, coming mid-May to Watch Series 10, Series 11, and Ultra 3.

Apple added a new watch face called Pride Luminance in watchOS 26.5, with up to 12 custom colors arranged in radial or linear gradients. It ships alongside new Pride bands and wallpapers, part of Apple's annual June release. Nothing about the watch changes functionally. It's a visual update, and a deliberate one.
