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.

I was being sarcastic, silly. I have a series 4 that I bought in 2018, is still fantastic and gets software updates. I have ummm - one watch strap, the original.

But if a new model al some point changes strap design, it doesn’t feel like the worst thing in the world.
