    I hope the band connector redesign and possible skipping of a year before much bigger updates in the Apple watch X/Ultra 3 lead to big increases in battery life

      I don’t see how redesigning the band connector will lead to improved battery life…

        In a small device like the watch, the attachment mechanism and all the structure needed for it takes substantial space where every millimeter is at a premium

          The rumored magnetic system that the Apple Watch X is supposed to be using does not look like it will be saving much space at all, if any.
