All the New Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 Band Colors

Apple’s new Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 bands lean darker and more muted than the bright palette from earlier this year, with Burgundy, Dark Olive and Dark Umber replacing some of the spring shades. Two premium metal bands pick up new finishes as well, and the bands went up for order on September 9, 2026.

They arrived alongside this year’s Apple Watch announcements, and most of the new bands also fit older Apple Watch models going back several generations. Current owners do not need this year’s watch to buy in.

The Apple Watch Sport Loop picks up Burgundy, Olive, Magenta, Chambray Blue and a neutral Limestone, plus two inkjet-printed plaid colorways in Burgundy and Light Umber. It comes in 42mm and 46mm sizes for Apple Watch Series 12.

The Apple Watch Milanese Loop returns in Dark Bronze alongside Radiant Gold and Natural. Its magnetic clasp can throw off Compass app readings, the same issue Apple has flagged on magnetic Apple Watch bands in the past, and removing the band or stepping away from other magnetic objects gives an accurate reading. The stainless steel Link Bracelet also gets a Radiant Gold option to match the Milanese Loop.

The classic Apple Watch Sport Band, with its pin-and-tuck closure, returns with a deeper Navy Blue and a lighter Wildflower Blue, alongside Magenta, Olive, Burgundy, Pale Succulent, Sand and Black. The stretchable Solo Loop adds Burgundy, Olive, Navy Blue and Wildflower Blue, and the Braided Solo Loop gets the same four colors plus Magenta.

Neither Solo Loop uses a clasp or buckle, so sizing runs by number rather than S/M or M/L. The woven Modern Buckle switches to Navy Blue, Mulberry, Sage and Camel with gold or natural hardware and is sold only in 42mm, and the suede-textured Magnetic Link adds Midnight, Burgundy, Wildflower Blue and Camel. Nike’s two bands, the perforated Sport Band and the woven Sport Loop, move to a five-color set of Essential White, Chalk Calm, Pavement Gray, After Dark Black and Spark Green.

The other new colors are sold through Apple.com, including the Solo Loop in Wildflower Blue and the Braided Solo Loop, Wildflower Blue. The Modern Buckle in Camel and Magnetic Link in Camel are there too, as are the Nike Sport Band in After Dark Black and Nike Sport Loop in Essential White.

Apple Watch Ultra 4’s three sport bands all shift toward earthier tones this year. The Trail Loop adds Dark Umber and Sand next to a refreshed Burgundy in its stretchy nylon weave, and the Alpine Loop gets Dark Olive and Desert alongside its own Burgundy, closing with the same titanium G-hook it has used since launch.

The Ocean Band moves to a new translucent silicone across Gray, Kelp and Black, replacing the solid colors from last year. It pairs with either the black or natural titanium buckle depending on which Apple Watch Ultra 4 case you own.

Apple also refreshed its Hermès lineup for Apple Watch Ultra 4 with six styles. The six styles are the Rocabar Club, Satin Clou de Selle, Kilim Single Tour, En Mer, Scub’H Diving and the titanium Grand H Titane bracelet.

The Kilim Single Tour switches to a molded, waterproof rubber in six colors including Bleu De Malte and Orange, while the Scub’H Diving keeps its high-performance elastomer build for swimming and diving. Hermès bands are sold through Apple.com and Hermès boutiques.
