    hope you are joking. 

    Moto360/Pebble required TOOLS to switch bands and it was a pain in the azz (like traditional watches)

    AppleWatch is totally different because no tools are required and its super easy and fast
    I never said they didn't require tools, nor did I say Apple wasn't the first to have an easy to change mechanism. All I said was that you could change bands on other types of watches.

    Ummm.... 
    Aren't watchbands typically swappable? I know I've changed mine several times on several watches over the years. Hardly "taking a page from Apple" IMHO.  Not sure that "Mode" button will hold up tho. Looks a little questionable to me. 
    Of course Google are not copying Apple's concepts, that's why they have had these swappable wrist straps for the first Android Wear products released, not later once they saw Apple's success with them.  Oh wait a minute ....
