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 actually think this might be true, obviously not a dongle in the traditional sense but an adapter of sorts to allow the previous bands to fit.

If Apple doesn’t make it, I’m sure a 3rd party would, and the patents on the current watch mechanism has got to be expired by now? 🤔 so I think it’d be easy for someone else to make an adapter to connect them with any new system.
