If you’re a fan of the Olympic Games and colourful Apple products, you’re in luck.

Besides being able to watch your favourite athletes compete in Rio in just over two weeks’ time, you’ll now be able show your support for 14 different countries with special Olympics-themed Apple Watch bands.

According to GQ, the limited edition bands cost around £35 each, with flag motifs available for Great Britain, France, Germany, The Netherlands, South Africa, New Zealand, Mexico, Japan, Jamaica, Canada, China, USA, Australia and host nation Brazil.

Unfortunately, though, there’s only two ways to pick up the bands and wear your support on your wrist: travel to Brazil or be a competing athlete. Seriously.

In fact, it’s even more limited than it seems, with the bands only sold at one store in the entire country, the Apple Store at VillageMall in Barra da Tijuca.

Maybe – as American sprinter Trayvon Bromell shows – it would have been easier to train to become an Olympic athlete to get your hands on one.
