Is there smb with apple watch?

Hello
I understand that I'm on the Rolex forum

But I need your help.

I have an Apple Watch and several times broke the screen. I'm sick of it and I want to ask if there is any good protection? :)

Would be happy if I get any help.

I am sorry but I do not understand the question.

I have a first generation Apple watch that I use for mountain biking, weightlifting and Spartan obstacle race events. I have never put so much as a mark on the watch let alone break anything.

Are you looking for a case? They make those but I do not think this would help you as you seem to be very hard on the watch. A simple Google search turned this up

https://www.spigen.com/collections/apple-watch

I do not think it would help and I would not use one because it is not necessary. Perhaps try another watch?

Sure - shatterproof screen protectors should help. But behavior modification is a better option...

Thank you, but this is not what I need

I just need to protect the screen , and this case is too cumbersome

Try to install saphire glass at service, if you have the basic AW with mineral glass

If you look on amazon I’m sure you will find the right size easily enough. Just go with the best reviews if in doubt which type to go for.

I did not share an Amazon link - that which I provided is from the manufacturer. I’d stay away from Amazon sellers if you value the AW and want Bona ride protection.

This is pretty tough but totally changes the AW to more of a gshock look.

Yes, get a Samsung Gear as it has proper screen protection built right in! It's space-aged technology too! This new and miraculous invention to protect the screen is called... a rotating / FUNctional bezel.

i know, right, why didn't i think of that!

Ok, snarky comment aside, yes the Apple screens are a known problem :(

Not sure how a piece of plastic or glass will protect the screen.

If you like the watch then trade in and get a model with the sapphire crystal.

It’s not on Amazon - the link I provided is where you buy the Apple Watch shatterproof screen protector.

The cheap Amazon ones are just a thin film that doesn’t truly protect.

Cool! I need such a screen protector

But what do you think about Spigen apple watch screen protector?

Here's video on utube about it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgXjEbzbC0k

And I found a cheap similar product here https://findthedecision.com/best-app...en-protectors/
LK screen protector 6 has six films in the package. It's more than SCF Shatterproof 3D Curve Screen Guard has.
