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.

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

The magnetic bands are going to create too many problems….

Thieves be like "I'mm just grab it real QUICK."

I hope the magnetic latch is just a leak conspiration, as always. This would render the watch unusable for fitness tracking and health features, which is its main selling point.
Noone would wear a watch that is likely to fly off your hand, especially when stainless models cost so much

Time really flies, it's been 10 years since watch was launched and almost 18 years since first iPhone was launched

I hope they put Notch to distinguish from other model.

My Apple Watch Ultra 2 is here to stick with me thru the years ! 😊

Unlike other people I am actually interested in a magnetic band, this is a great safety feature for people who wear their watch to work. People don’t think about how wearing a watch could get them seriously injured if it happened to get caught on something. The same thing goes for rings. I’m excited to upgrade from my series 6

I hope the headphone jack stays around.

for the apple watch X theyll add a bezel and remove the button on the side and replace it with touch movement

[Nytalite]

I got a Series 9 for my birthday two months ago. The only thing that will make me upgrade sooner is the long-rumored blood sugar monitoring.

[bobinnyyy]

wonder if the home button is gonna be removed

[jordantian]

Pov:They add A Notch :Me Cries in Disappointment

Magnetic band definitely will have some sort of manual release that has to pressed. Think about the Vision Pro band connection

[Justsomedudeontheinternett]

So, this is basically the iPhone 10 (or x) for the Apple Watch?

[abdulhamidadel]

it'll never be bigger of an update than the series 4

I think the magnetic latch is needed due to the new band patent (the one with the small battery cells.)

[pokute]

Are they bringing back the oxygen sensor? Did they settle with Masimo?

[MatthewTheWanderer]

"Notify you if it detects hypertension"... But, what if I ALWAYS have hypertension!? Getting constant notifications about that seems like it would be VERY annoying!

[JDCALDECOTT]

Hopefully the magnetic bands will have a latch!
