Think they'll be an Apple Watch Armband?

Until you have to pay royalties to Apple to use their patented watch strap connector....

I wonder if that will actually be a consideration.

Apple would want the designs of the bands themselves copied, but the band to watch bit might not be a problem.

Being able to buy third party bands might be a tacit selling point.

After all, the new MB uses an industry standard albeit not yet widely used connector.

Eventually, perhaps. How long did Apple make third-party cable manufacturers wait before they licensed the "genuine" technology for lightning connectors?
Yep, just like Magsafe, FireWire, Thunderbolt, all were either expensive to license or never licensed. I am curious which way Apple leans on watch bands.
