-	[* black] ~~Popping off~~ the stretchy watchband, ~~we confirm~~ that this is ~~in fact~~ a new Apple Watch—model number A2376—and not [guide\|130132\|~~a competitor's~~\|new_window=true] ~~painted blue~~.
-	[* black] The other band slot features … a ~~miniature~~ combination lock~~?? Oh wait~~, ~~that's just Photoshop. Don't worry, no locks here just yet. Just~~ the same ol' opening procedure we perform [guide\|113044\|every\|stepid=216162\|new_window=true] [guide\|126205\|year\|stepid=243599\|new_window=true].
-	[* black] Well, almost the same: In a surprise twist, the Series 6 takes after ~~the~~ [guide\|67382\|post-6s ~~iPhones~~\|stepid=136511\|new_window=true] and opens to the side like a book!
+	[* black] Underneath the stretchy new watchband, confirmation that this is indeed a new Apple Watch—model number *A2376*—and not merely some blue-hued [guide\|130132\|lookalike\|new_window=true].
+	[* black] The other band slot features …nothing at all, so our photo editor indulged in a bit of of tech fantasy and added a combination lock—as if opening the case could be so easy. Alas, we expect the same ol' opening procedure we perform [guide\|113044\|every\|stepid=216162\|new_window=true] [guide\|126205\|year\|stepid=243599\|new_window=true].
+	[* black] Well, ''almost'' the same: In a surprise twist, the Series 6 takes after newer ([guide\|67382\|post-6s\|stepid=136511\|new_window=true]) iPhones and opens to the side like a book!
	[* black] The procedure is also slightly simplified due to the absence of a Force Touch gasket—a feature now defunct as of watchOS 7.
	[* icon_note] We're happy to see a fragile, damage-prone part retired, but sad to see the final nail in the coffin for Apple's nifty pressure-sensitive display technology. We're torn, but we'll call this a win.
