Apple Watch X: What To Expect

Apple is expected to release the Apple Watch X this fall to celebrate the product’s tenth anniversary. And it’s rumored to be the biggest Apple Watch update ever.
Starting with a brand new way to attach bands and straps. Instead of the previous sliding mechanism, Apple Watch X will feature a magnetic latch, strong enough to hold the band in place, but easy enough to remove with a firm tug.

[@richardwilson1937]

So… my first thought with the magnetic strap is that people are going to be easily ripping them off peoples wrists in the subway….

[@certified_freak]

Or getting detached easily during intensive activities and sports 😬

[@mysticx07]

There will have to be some sort of mechanical/physical latch as well

[@MarvPianist]

I think it will be a magnetic mechanism with some kind of barb which will easily attach but needs to me mechanically loosen to Detach

[@Meek42069]

​​@@MarvPianisti fucking hope so cuz if someone goes on a Rollercoaster with it it will be gone by the first turn and people are gonna try to grab it and go as fast as possible

[@Meek42069]

if they make it magnetic then they need to do it so to detach you have to push and then pull one side of it

It'll have to get rid of most of its capabilities for third party apps and simplify its processor like other fitness trackers.

[@Kai88988]

i don't see it as an issue tbh, i don't like sleeping with the watch on. so i just put it on its charging stand on my bedside table before i go to sleep. and before that i just use to put the charger in a place where i got changed or walk past in the morning while im getting ready. it's not really that hard if you put it in a strategic place

I’ve been seeing these guesses online for weeks, and decided that I’m not interested in the straps that attach magnetically.
