I’m assuming you’re talking about the band closing mechanism? The article is talking about attaching the band to the watch itself via magnet:
The switch from the band-compatible sliding system to a new magnetic attachment system is an effort to reduce space, potentially unlocking more internal space for battery.
If you’re talking about the band closing mechanism, there’s plenty of magnet based bands from Apple already.

Damn, that’s what I get for only reading headlines.
That really feels like the one place magnetically wouldn’t be necessary.
I see how the current mechanism is eating into the watch, but I can’t imagine only having magnets being the solution here.
