The Apple Watch has become one of the Cupertino company's most prolific products. Not only because of the prices it handles, which is not exactly cheap, but because the Apple Watch accessories, especially the straps, sell at a surprisingly good rate.
That is why Apple launches special catalogs of the straps and in this case it was not going to be less with the Olympic Games. According to a leak, the Cupertino company had prepared new commemorative belts for the recently suspended Tokyo Olympics until next year.

Nor is it a novelty, in 2016 with the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro 14 different versions of the nylon strap were launched for the Apple Watch that included the United States, United Kingdom, Holland, South Africa, New Zealand, Mexico, Japan, Jamaica, Canada, China, Brazil, Australia, Germany and France (no sign of Spain). However, these straps could only be purchased at the Apple Store located in Rio de Janeiro, so they did not become a particularly popular product, but rather "exclusive" and a way to show that they attended the Olympics and wore their Shift Apple Watch.
These belts were launched for $ 49 a unit. Meanwhile, the photographs reveal some belts, one of them from Denmark (not seen previously) or Japan. The Olympic Games have been postponed until July 23, 2021, And we imagine that Apple will take advantage of the straps already manufactured and end up releasing them for sale, at least as long as they are fully compatible with current models such as the Apple Watch Series 6.
In short, a detail of those that Apple likes to have at certain times of the year, although Samsung also likes to bet big on the Olympics, in some editions it has even given mobile phones to the participants.
