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 doubtful they’ll change it is such a way as to require entirely new bands. I’m skeptical of the magnetic attachment rumors. We already have warnings about magnetic bands and the compass. So now they’ll add magnets directly to the watch? Apple patents and explores a lot of ideas that never come to market.

It won’t require new bands, you’ll just need a dongle.

Nah, they'll do away with bands, you'll need an embedded wrist socket.
