Apple introduced a veritable rainbow of new hues for Apple Watch bands Tuesday — including the new Hermès Casaque multicolor bands inspired by “bold jerseys worn by horse jockeys,” Apple said.

The top Casaque band, a double-strapped leather number with four colors in it, costs $599. And that’s with no watch included. But at least you get a borderline-hideous Apple Watch band.

Fortunately, new spring colors are also available for several styles of reasonably priced bands like the Solo Loop and Sport Band.

New colors of Apple Watch bands plus a new Hermès style

The new yellow iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus, and new iPhone case colors, may make the most headlines after today’s Apple product launches. But the bigger explosion of new color comes across the lineup of Apple Watch bands.

It seems most models other than Apple Watch Ultra joined the fiesta, but some of the new bands will fit it anyway.

Solo Loop, Braided Solo Loop, Sport Band and Hermès bands sport a range of new hues
