    Did Apple invent the band? I wouldn’t even know how to source pre-existing watch band designs, but I would swear stuff like that existed long before smart watches.

      Of course they didn’t.

      Bands like that exist for a very, very long time, mostly on ‘manly’ watches (for outdoor, pilot watches, etc).

      But in this context, yeah they seem to be just copying what Apple did, probably looking at it as a safe bet. So silly.
