Apple Watch Case Recommendations

[simon lefisch]

Hey everyone,

So I finally broke down and bought a series 5 44mm gps+cellular watch and was wondering what types of case (if any) you all are using. Was looking at the Otterbox Exo Edge (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08637DV7Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_jBL.EbM5NQR16) and Sigen Thin Fit (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HSS8JDV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_JCL.Eb1KBMAX1). Anyone have any other suggestions or input on what I’m looking at? TIA

I don't see the point. I love my watch, but I'd rather not have it than put it in a case. I'm against cases on phones too, but this thing attaches to your wrist. If your band fits, it's not like you'll drop it anyway

Neither.

@casperes1996 it’s not about dropping it, it’s about preventing it from getting dinged accidentally. I have a MVMT watch that I accidentally scratched the face because it scraped against something (don’t remember what it was). Since this watch is more expensive than my MVMT, I’d prefer to protect it as much as possible.

@JBaby thanks for the suggestion, those look waaaay better. Purchasing now

Fair enough, each to their own, but it seems fairly resilient. I've bumped my wrist against all sorts of things and such and it looks like new still. I've never liked cases on anything so may just be me being weird. I'd rather have a scratched up and dented iPhone than one in a case as well, so yeah, I may just be mental

I owned a S3 aluminum for 2 years and didn’t case it beyond a week. Gave up on the screen protector shortly thereafter. After two years I actually liked the patina it acquired from the “abuse” I subjected it to. Would have been happy to keep wearing it, but my wife passed down her SS S3 space black to me. If you want a watch that stands up to abuse, buy SS.
