Look at them , they are the same ... besides it's AAPL that earned it's rep as the lawsuit bully over things smaller than that... the second and third pics show the slot the strap slides into... LOOK SIMILAR? As to the "Fluoronated Elastomer compound" That's a funny way to say stretchy plastic ,, same as every Casio Diver Watch I've seen in the last 40 years..

Wow! You've doubled down on your idiotic claims. This should put your claims to rest once and for all. . . There are no similarities at all to DELL's battery cable ties. . . except in your completely deluded mind.

Your idiotic generic rubber cable ties


Apple's three differing Apple Watch bands from the Watch Band
patent drawings filed with the US Office of Patents and Trademarks.
Note the bands connecting into the solid body of the Apple Watch itself
instead of needle spring pins used by the vast majority of traditional watches.

Note the specialized, patented locking connection system designed
to attach into the Apple Watch body and securely lock them in place.

Are you seriously claiming these bands are identical in design to Dell's rubber cable tie band, so much so that you, asshat that you have shown your self to be, have reported this as a patent infringement to Dell's legal department? You are completely and HILARIOUSLY DELUSIONAL!

Are you seriously claiming these bands are identical in design to Dell’s rubber cable tie band, so much so that you, asshat that you have shown your self to be, have reported this as a patent infringement to Dell’s legal department?
*********************
They have design elements that are identical,, the slide in attachment mechanism , apple just moved the idents to the band from the receptacle , the nub to lock in a hole (identical except for choice of material... like that matters) and the band material , softened plastic. I’m just pointing out that seemingly you can patent anything , no matter how much of it is stolen... I could find DOZENS of examples but this one was right in front of me...

There is NOTHING new in the ballyhooed watchband that deserves protection... It’s like patenting “round” for a tire shape, or smooth edges on a phone.

P.S. I didn’t cry to the mods as you stated ,, maybe they’re just watching your threads... You see I just don’t care what you or anyone else thinks about trivial subjects like this, it’s only value is entertainment, I post what I see and let it ride. Sometimes I poke and prod where it’s needed or where it might produce some entertainment value. I’m just living up to my screen-name after all.

Adios!
