cases and screen protectors for apple smartwatch

The Apple Watch is a rather health and fitness-focused “smart” watch, with a sleek design that’s eye-catching yet understated, unlike your typical sports watch. On the other hand, they are not as resistant as the latter, and the blows can be more deadly. That is why use a case and screen protector not such a bad idea.

Is there an Apple Watch more resistant than another?

Since the launch of the first model, Apple has tried to make its smartwatch with different materials, such as gold with its Apple Watch Edition or ceramic, which was available in Series 2, Series 3 and Series 5. Those that have finally penetrated are aluminum, since it is the most economical and accessible option, and stainless steelfor those who want a more elegant touch.

Ceramic Apple Watches are more scratch resistant than stainless steel and aluminum, while also being lighter. This durability has been paid with a much higher price than these. For its part, aluminum ones are lightweight, but have the downside of being more prone to paint chipping during daily use and they are not as “strong” against shocks. Regarding the stainless steel one, it is heavier, it is a more resistant material and the sapphire crystal is a point in favor, but the scratches are generally quite visible and can make the product ugly.

None of them are immune to accidents, so one stupid swipe can result in a “total loss” or tell the tale of iPhones with cobwebs on the front and back. However, this can be solved with a case and a screen protector. Of course, at the cost of hiding its design.
