Here’s the next Apple Watch face coming in watchOS 26.5

There’s a new Apple Watch face that will be included in the upcoming watchOS 26.5 software update.

Apple’s annual Pride Apple Watch face and iPhone/iPad wallpaper are coming

Each year, Apple releases a new Pride Apple Watch face and iPhone/iPad wallpaper. You can see last year’s collection as an example here.

Apple also sells Apple Watch bands that go with the new watch faces for a year at a time.

This year, Pride Luminance is the name of the new design.

It first appeared in code for iOS 26.5 beta and watchOS 26.5 beta a few weeks ago, but we haven’t seen the Apple Watch face design until now.

Great. Still only one watch face that shows digital seconds, but sure, let's add an eighth rainbow one for good measure.

Mark Gurman tweeted a screenshot of how it will look in the Apple Watch app’s Face Gallery.

The current Pride collection includes Digital, Analog, Woven, Threads, Celebration, Radiance, and Harmony.

Expect Luminance to officially be unveiled in May alongside the iPhone and iPad wallpaper and Apple Watch band that rounds out the collection.

You can find the new Apple Watch Series 11 for as low as $299 on Amazon today.
