A new patent suggests that future Apple Watches could come with the ability to detect what type of band you’re wearing and automatically adjust the watch face to reflect that accessory.
In theory, this would mean if you opted for a refreshing Spring Green band, your Apple Watch would adjust its face to a similar pastel hue. If you then switched to a Deep Red band, your smartwatch would reflect back a more vibrant shade. But there's a downside to this potential upgrade that would lock you in to Apple's walled garden.
