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 never thought about it but now nice to know.

I use them on just about all my leather bands that are basically watch bands that fit the very common 22mm lug size (there are smaller 20mm lug adapters as well for thinner watch bands. They might work better on a smaller 41mm watch). I wear the leather bands mostly for work as they’re just more “watch like”, they’re also a higher grade of leather than most of the dedicated “Made for Apple Watch” stuff on the market. And I can easily take them off the Apple adapter and use on most of my analogue collection with 22mm lugs as well. Really a quite simple solution for a greater choice of high quality watch bands.
