Eleven years is just around 4,000 days. That means, on average, a new release came out every four days. Or one per week.

That’s Apple today.
Hooray for endless consumption.

Feel like that graphic should have spelled something or a mosaic of some sort. I stared at it a long time trying to figure out what its supposed to be.

They did break compatibility in a way... everything series 9 and below doesn't really work with the newer watches, there are huge gaps on the side of the band. I had about 25 or so over the years I've collected. Hard Lesson!
Hard disagree. I have bands from the very first Series and wear them to this day. The “gap”, to me, is minimal, and certainly imperceptible from normal viewing distance (i.e. on your wrist).
