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?

IF they make smart bands that change color when your heart rate is high or flashes when you've got a notification or, even better, add sensors to the band to improve sleep detection, etc., then I'd be fine with it.

If they just change the band for its own sake to be greedy and force people to buy new bands then I'd be upset.

Thanks!! Nurse here. I LOVE idea of band with built-in health features. As long as it’s not chunky + cheap-looking (tho terrific for its time) like my 2014 Samsung Gear S2 on Verizon.
