Apple rolls out limited-edition ‘Black Unity Collection with a unique watch band and a new watch face

Tech company Apple is launching a limited-edition Apple Watch for Black History Month, with a unique watch band and a new watch face.

According to The Verge, some of the proceeds from the watch will be going toward civil rights organizations. The watch, part of a new Black Unity Collection of products, comes with a black, green, and red striped band and face, meant to reflect the Pan-African flag. It otherwise appears to be the standard aluminium version of the Apple Watch Series 6, with pricing starting at USD 399. The band will also be available separately for USD 49.

As reported by The Verge, the products will go on sale starting February 1 at Apple and Target. The band will remain on sale all year, but the watch as a whole will only be sold in February. It sounds as though the watch face will be available to anyone with an Apple Watch starting later today.
