Nike understands we crave matching accessories and has launched four new straps for the Apple Watch. They join a wealth of other bands and straps available for the Apple Watch, but these are a little bit special, as each of which comes in the same colors as the Day to Night collection in its Air VaporMax Flyknit sneaker range. It’s the latest made-for-Apple product from Nike, a partnership which has reignited recently after the launch of a special Nike+ Apple Watch, and another standalone strap.

This time, Nike wants you wearing both its Watch strap, and a pair of brand new Nike shoes. The Day to Night collection is inspired by the colors of the sky, seen when running during early morning, day, evening, and night, translating into shoes in pink, aqua blue, powder blue, and dark blue.

You’ve got the shoes, and you want an Apple Watch strap to match, right? The four Apple Watch bands come in corresponding colors, and feature the same cool perforated, hole-punched look that defines the Nike+ version of the Apple Watch released late last year. While the original band was black with green accents, these are way more colorful; and are made from the same lightweight and sweat-resistant fluoroelastomer material. Wondering what this feels like? It’s the same thing Apple uses for its own Sport bands.

These new Nike Sport Bands will be sold through Nike’s own online store, plus some of its retail stores, and Apple’s retail and online stores from June 1. If you want one, they’ll cost $50 each, while if you want a pair of matching VaporMax Flyknit shoes to go with it — and let’s face it, that’s the whole point — they will also be released on June 1, for both men and women. The Day to Night collection’s release follows the general release of the VaporMax series back in March.

The two Apple Watch Series 10 changes I hope Apple announces today
The Apple Watch Series 9 on charge.

Apple’s big fall event is nearly here. The “It’s Glowtime” event will likely bring us the iPhone 16 lineup, as well as the Apple Watch Series 10 and Apple Watch Ultra 3. It’s going to be a big show, and the anticipation is high.

While the iPhone 16 is going to be the big highlight of the show, let’s not forget that the Apple Watch hits its 10th anniversary today, September 9, the day of the event. This should be a significant update for the Apple Watch, and there are whispers that we may see a new design and even a new band attachment system.

I don’t know anything about the next Apple Watch, and I love it

Whatever Apple has planned for the next version of the Apple Watch, it has managed to keep it a secret.

Despite being just a few days from the event where we will almost certainly officially see the new smartwatch for the first time, we know almost nothing about its design and functionality. I couldn’t be happier about this situation.

Apple Watch Series 10 now expected to get a major new health feature
A person checking the fitness data on an Apple Watch Series 9.

Apple is expected to announce the Apple Watch Series 10 and Apple Watch Ultra 3 at Monday's iPhone 16 event. We've heard little beyond hardware speculation about these watches — untilnow. Today, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reported that both watches may have a sleep apnea detection feature. If accurate, it would be the first time an Apple wearable device has offered this functionality.

Those suffering from sleep apnea experience repeated breathing stops and starts during sleep. This leads to poor sleep quality and a range of health problems. Unfortunately, it's hard for a person actually to know that they are suffering from this disorder. Detecting sleep apnea makes it much easier for health care providers to diagnose and determine the best course of treatment.
