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?

No, after 10 years of band compatibility I think that’s more than enough for an accessory. The Apple Watch innovation can’t be stopped to support the previous bands.

next innovation will come with watch band adapter for $9.99 and $14.99 for titanium version

Only? I’d say more like 69.90$ and 99.90$

Depends on whether we're talking official Apple, or Chinese knock-off from the same factory.

What innovation would require a switch up other than making more money? Design doesn’t need to change to welcome innovation imo

[-] abcpdo@alien.top 0 points 2 years ago

imo it could look more seamless going into the watch. pixel watch has a clever design.

That would be a nice change. What I don't like at the moment is the part that you push into the watch. In some combinations the colors don't match and look just bad.

Innovation? You’re joking right?
