This accessory provides a layer of protection for a specific generation of smaller Apple Watches, designed with a face size of 38 millimeters. The covers are typically made of materials like TPU, polycarbonate, or tempered glass, and they fit snugly over the watch face and sometimes the sides of the device. A common example would be a clear, flexible shell that shields the watch from scratches and minor impacts during daily wear.
The utilization of a protective case offers several advantages, including safeguarding the device’s screen from damage due to accidental bumps or scratches, thus preserving its resale value and functionality. Historically, these types of protective measures became increasingly prevalent with the rising cost of wearable technology and the desire to maintain its aesthetic appeal and operational integrity over time.
