Per title. We knew it was coming some day, tho perhaps not this soon. Will you be upset if you need ugly adapter to make your extensive + expensive watchband collection work?

I think Apple is very keen to ensure that you’re able to tell when someone’s wearing an Apple Watch, and they’re happy with the general silhouette of the watch as a result.
Personally my guess is there will be a redesign of some kind next year, but I think the folks who are holding out for it or excited about it will be disappointed by how Apple Watch-y it remains. Think less iPhone 8->iPhone X, more iPhone 14->iPhone 15. And that will include the Watch remaining square and, subsequently, probably the bands staying cross-compatible(barring some other reason to change the design I’d be unaware of, like saving on internal space or something).
Agreed.
I could see them doing something like squaring up the sides (rather than having the rounded “bulging” out look, a straight edge from screen to back), but too much change also causes issues for watch faces and apps. You certainly won’t see them change away from the rectangle shape!
I’m certain you’re right about one thing for sure … our wrists are Apple’s best advertisement!! They do not want anyone to have to ask what you’re wearing!!
