Sorry but you're seriously suggesting that the two are in any way linked? Design time is irrelevant as the current watch and bands have been, well, designed already. As for production the amount of time taken to make a handful of bespoke bands would be insignificant compared to overall production capacity.
I want a red sport band! Why isn't that available at launch? Production issues? Nobody wants that gross pink band.
Red please.
Red please.
Scause for applause
I'm all up for RED products.
But seeing as this is a rubber band around the wrist the first thing that popped in my mind was:

It's hard to see in the small picture but there is some sort of logo on the red band that you can see when looking at the full size picture... I wonder if it's the product red logo or something.
The people designing those watches are not the same people making them.
Please take a class in supply chain management and learn what it takes to produce MILLIONS of products with different configurations.
Here is some starter info:
If they produce 10,000 watches a day, that's only 3.65 million per year.
Buying the components for that amount is also not that easy, as they have yield issues with displays, processors, QC rejections, material availability etc. etc.
Everything trickles down the supply chain.
Change the amount of daily production and you may get an idea why these can't be thrown together in a minute.
Steve Jobs wasn't alone in that... They are a pain in the **** size wise, if you want to put things in a suitcase etc. On the other hand, they _are_ rock solid.
so this is what happens when apple uses colors that don't look like vomit.
if you're going to imply that people are crediting Mr. Ive for inventing a foldable plug even though nobody ever said that, at least spell his name correctly.

Never said he did, in fact I own a mu already.
Will the mu one day be provided with apple laptops in the UK to charge them? No, but this might so its big news for those of us that hate the UK plug.
Sorry, I wasn't trying to imply you did say he invented them.
Apologies for confusion.
This might explain why the US store has both the 5w and 12w chargers on the Watch accessory page, but the UK only has the 12w charger i.e. a folding 5w charger is on the way!
As I've just said, I wasn't implying that.
It's spelt Jonathan and he's regularly referred to as Jonny, so how else would you suggest his name should be spelt?

Surely it would already be designed, produced and available to (pre) order?
Not sure of the point of the folding charger...lets face it, it's not going to get unplugged much is it?
