Watch people, sure.
However most people who were just rocking a basic Casio from Sprawl-Mart probably never even thought to swap their band.
What is really impressive about the Apple Watch is that it convinced a lot of people who really didn't care about watches to start dropping $200-$500 on them.
- ghaff 3y agoBy the time the strap is worse for wear on my cheap Timex, the battery is probably near-replacement, and the crystal is probably a bit banged up too. So easier to just spend $30 to replace the whole thing. But I've certainly replaced watch bands in the past (or had it done). Never really been a watch person. I do have an Apple Watch which I wear mostly for hiking, etc. I like it but it's probably my most optional Apple device.
- drivers99 3y agoI wore the same Timex Triathlon for about 16 years. I replaced the watch band and the battery numerous times. Eventually the plastic button (the main one in the bottom left) wore out and it lost its water resistance and I finally switched watches. But to switch watches due to the replaceable parts (battery, watch band) seems unnecessary and wasteful.
