I'm worried about the rumoured Apple Watch redesign

Apple Watch render

With its design going largely unchanged since 2015, it seems fair to say that the Apple Watch is looking a little long in the tooth. Sure, last year's Apple Watch Ultra changed things up with a larger, titanium body, but the standard model still looks very familiar. So the fact that Apple is reportedly planning a major redesign next year might come as good news – but there's one detail I'm troubled by.

According to renowned Apple leaker Mark Gurman, Apple is planning to repeat what it did with the iPhone X in 2017 by releasing a significantly redesigned 'Apple Watch X' to mark the device's 10th edition next year. But apparently the new design will include a brand new way to attach straps – which could mean older bands are no longer compatible. (Don't fancy waiting to find out?
