Apple to Release Exclusive Apple Watch Sport Models for Chinese New Year

Apple is releasing two exclusive Apple Watch Sport models to celebrate the Chinese New Year. The special edition models will be available until February 22, in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia.



The two exclusive models will come in a yellow-gold or silver aluminum finish with a red sports band. Red is popular color during the Chinese New Year, as it symbolizes good fortune and joy.


While the Watches were originally spotted on Apple's website (in those respective countries), they have since been removed.

As Mashable reports, Apple is taking pre-orders for these special edition watches on each of the respective country websites. The watches are priced very similar to the regular Apple Watch Sport models, starting at S$518 ($363) for the 38mm and S$598 ($419) for the 42mm version. The Watches will be available starting January 15.
