Bracelets have been around since Roman times, 2000 yrs.

No, it's not the bracelet. It's the way they connect to the watch. That was truly innovative. No one had ever come up with anything like it before Apple invented it.

PUH-LEASE that attachment method has been around for ages , sliding something into an opening that is larger than the exit slot .. WOO-HOO that’s never been thought of before. It may not have been used on a wrist-phone before but that doesn’t make it special. It sort of reminds me of middle ages door locks which used wooden dowels...

When Chrysler first used “super velcro” to attach vehicle interior components 35+ years ago did they patent it? NO ,, Why ? because it was an obvious use of the product. Apples “tab a” into “slot b” is just as silly a thing to patent... I bet I could patent a used kleenex by these standards.

BTW .. does this watch have the ability to tell time for more than a day or does it still require user intervention to charge?
