Not to be too cynical, but is this Apple watch "solo loop" coming in a bunch of fixed sizes a means by which they reduce/minimize the ability to buy/sell used Apple Watches?

Or at their scale does it not really make a difference?

EDIT: nvm lol, forgot that you can just swap out the loops still

The silicone material they use tends to get beat up enough after a year or two that you'd probably want to replace it anyways if you buy a used watch.
good point
I imagine it's possible to buy a used Apple Watch and replace the 'solo loop', or did I misunderstand the presentation?
yeah you're right, I misunderstood / forgot that you can still swap the loops out
I wasn't sure myself :)
