Will we be upset if Apple Watch X means our existing, extensive watchband collection no longer works? (alien.top)

Per title. We knew it was coming some day, tho perhaps not this soon. Will you be upset if you need ugly adapter to make your extensive + expensive watchband collection work?

I’m open minded if there is a good reason for it but I don’t see how the current design can be substantially improved upon. It’s both very secure and very easy to switch bands.

Im not expecting any additional functionality but i imagine they may just make it more efficient for the use of space

I think that would annoy a lot of people, me included.

its one of those weird they just got it right the first time things.. I just went from a S7 to an Ultra 2 and I moved my white nike band along with it. works great.

Think of how much revenue they’re missing by not changing the band. All the people said that’s why they kept lighting around for so long was the $$ in licensing it generated. /s

Thanks! Some say current bands take up space that could be used to slim down and modernize AW appearance.
