In a few years' time when all Watch bands are soldered, you'll look back at these days fondly when you could upgrade the bands yourself.
I'm so glad a company as great as Apple was able to come up with something everybody will want to buy. I only wish Samsung or Google has the brain to come up with such an great product.
Can't innovate, my ass
