Apple's limited-edition Black Unity Apple Watch is ??? ??now available to order.
Launched in celebration of Black History Month, the watch largely has the same specs as the regular Apple Watch Series 6. However, there are several subtle differences.
The aluminum case, Apple says, is made from 100-percent recycled aerospace-grade alloy, and has a “Black Unity” laser etching on the back.

Finally, the watch comes with a special unity watch face, whose colors match the band. The watch face has a pattern that changes dynamically as the Watch moves, Apple says.
