Individuals involved in developing new Apple Watch models told Gurman that the existing band system takes up a large amount of space that could be better utilized for bigger batteries or other internal components. As such, Apple is apparently considering a magnetic band attachment system, but it is currently unclear if this specific method will be present on the Apple Watch X or if the company will choose something else.
TBH my watch is the one device I sometimes wish it would just crap out just so I could justify to myself buying a recent model. But it keeps trucking so I hang on to it.
It’s an amazing piece of tech.
