The new Apple Watch may break with a tradition that began with the first Watch from 2015.
It’s thought the case size will be noticeably bigger, 47mm or even 48mm, and that increase, along with an expected new design with a flatter display and sides, will make the older straps incompatible.
This is a big change. While it’s true that some newer straps were only designed for more recent Watch hardware, Series 4 and later, it has always been the case that older straps will still work with newer Watches. Perhaps the new design and, just as importantly, the expected focus on extreme sports, means a whole new range of straps are desirable.
Whatever the reason, there will be disquiet from many who don’t want to chuck their band collection. These people may only upgrade to the Series 8.about the topic, saying “I believe the Apple Watch Pro will support older bands — though maybe they won’t fit as well or look as seamless given the size of the new watch.”
I’m interested in this. Apple will emphatically not recommend a strap unless it’s a perfect fit . And maybe it’s different here: if the strap technically attaches with the same mechanism but there’s a doubt about the safety of the connection, it certainly won’t be considered compatible. After all, you don’t want your Watch flying off your wrist, especially if you’re doing extreme sports, the target for the Apple Watch Pro.
