Question "Wear a phone in a case or not?" Often causes an ambiguous answer. Someone refuses protective accessories, and his smartphone retains the original appearance, but it remains less resistant to physical damage, and someone once a year pulls out the ideal case, never visited the gadget service. However, should there be the same choice when it comes to hours? As far as wild it seems to me, this choice is already there.

Colleagues from 9to5Mac presented a selection of protective accessories for Apple Watch. Accessories are already a lot, and the most interesting of them is, perhaps, the choice of which is constantly growing. However, covers for hours, to my surprise, has already been a lot. Take a look, maybe something like you.

The European Calypsocrystal accessories manufacturer presented a handbag for watches in several available colors. Such a handbag will cost 129 euros.

This company makes covers to everything that has not even happened. Not bad covers, it is worth noting. For Apple Watch, the company introduced two versions of the protective cover at once. The easiest option is made of polycarbonate. It is available in silver, golden, black and white colors and will cost $ 14.99.

Another line of covers was named Rugged Armor, and she is designed to protect your Apple Watch from shocks. The silicone case will also cost $ 14.99, and the TOUGH Armor version will turn your Apple Watch in G-Shock for $ 24.99.

Pad & Quill.

In May, this company will start selling its leather and wooden accessories for the storage of Apple Watch on travels. Such an attractive set will cost $ 119.

Luvvitt Steel

This company suggests $ 14.99 to close the glass of your Apple Watch with a small silicone panel with a rotary glass. Close the sapphire glass, glass that scratch is very simple, and give money for this - a great offer.

This company offers you to buy Apple Watch and return them five years ago by placing them with a carboxylic film, and a glass of a regular transparent film. For the film, the company will ask $ 8, and for the ability to insult Joni Quince for hours in carbon film - another 11 dollars.

I think that many agree with me - there is a couple of good accessories in this selection. For example, this leather case, allowing to transport and charge the clock, very good. It will be possible to buy in May for 59 dollars.

If someone tells you that you incorrectly carry Apple Watch and from whether they work worse, try bumper for $ 20.

This company became famous for the watch from the sixth generation. Now they want to make from Apple Wath all the same iPod Nano in a strap from Lunatik.

Bought a watch? Respect. It's time to protect them and diversify.

Accessories for Apple Watch has already been a lot, but not every one you need. I'll tell you about what I saw, I tested myself and can recommend - from the owner owner.

1. Protection of the case and covers to Apple Watch

I love my watch and regretfully see how scratching scums on them. This is the sad fate of all steel Apple Watch. They attract the Cocks and the scratches, as if the back panel of old iPod. And this is, as you know, the verdict.

You will try anything a couple of times, and you are pleased with a decent trace, which is not going anywhere. And which will not erase.

If I knew that it would be so, then together with the steel Apple Watch would have acquired a cover from Spigen.. In contrast to the mass of cheap silicone analogues, their covers are thought out to the smallest detail.

Spigen has several models for Apple Watch. They differ not only by color, but also forms, as well as thickness. From harsh to ultrathin. Each set has protective films On the front and rear side, for which the manufacturer has a huge respect.

✓ Slim Armor from Spigen for Apple Watch - 2490 rubles.

Balanced case protection option: and wolves are full, and sheep are intact. Pretty thin, but durable silicone sheath with a glossy effect and a full protection of most of the housing. Unlike other models, they did not forget about Digital Crown: it will turn it almost impossible to scratch it.

I thought it would become uncomfortable to manage hours. Nothing like this. As spinning and spinning. But now there will be no scratch. That to the rest of the case - the minimum of parts, maximum benefit. On the hand is good, with sports straps looks just gorgeous.

✓ Rugged Armor from Spigen for Apple Watch - 2490 rubles.

A completely different protection format. Powerful covers for iPhone, created for harsh operating conditions come to mind. Rugged Armor is for those who want to turn their Apple Watch to the analog G-Shock. Twice more than the silicone layer, now with a matte surface. The shape and design deserve the highest praise: it is immediately clear that Spigen was inspired by the unsoldic ideas of practical Japanese from Casio;)

In addition to another shape and enhanced protection, Rugged Armor has a separate mobile button for the phone call key. The black model in this series is my favorite. As if Apple Watch got a testosterone charge, revered the articles of Roman Yuriev and rushed into the hall. White is perfectly suitable for sports girls.

✓ Thin Fit - 2290 rubles

If the previous options did not like because of their sizes, pay attention to the Thin Fit. This is a minimalist protection against Spigen, which is made as if Apple came up with it. Immediately come to mind parallels with Bumper covers for old iPhone: neatly, convenient, it does not interfere with and occupy a minimum of space. Only this is not a case, but a lining.

The side button of the call of friends is recessed into the case, which gives Apple Watch more relaxed, measured style. It seems that many of us approximately imagined Apple's watch before their official announcement. Sports, neat, moderately protected. Nothing extra!

2. Protective films for Apple Watch Screen

Owners of the steel Apple Watch here in winning: the screen in their clocks is simply technically difficult to scratch. The sports model in quality of spare parts is not enough from the analogue in the iPhone 6: sooner or later it will appear small scratches.

To protect the display, you can use films adapted to the bent glass in the clock. They evenly fall on the surface and protect it from scratches and light shocks, acting as a shock absorber. By the way, the films are perfectly combined with covers: it turns out complete protection of the case without the slightest hint of the joints.

✓ Fillet Steinheil Flex for Apple Watch from Spigen - 1990 rub.

Spigen has always been cool films, and an Apple watch option is no exception. It completely repeats the same analogue for the iPhone in its chemical composition: the maximum transparency, no distortion of the picture, the full transmission of all gestures. Plus a non-heel coating and decent resistance to small exposure. Closes the entire screen, completely.

In one set - two films. I bought such and forgot to forgot about the issue of protection. Thickness - just 0.16 mm! The blending process is very simple, because the screen area is less than the iPhone. You can not even have straight hands. In the set napkin for cleaning the display from Zeiss, as well as stickers to remove dust and bubbles, if any appears.

✓ Crystal protector for Apple Watch from Spigen - 1490 rub.

This is a beast a little of another caliber. The model was created specifically for those who have already decided to wear a clock with a cover and wants to achieve maximum security. Crystal film has the same transparency as Steinheil Flex, but at the same time slightly thicker and denser. It will protect from scratches in full, plus shocking strikes.

Crystal does not close the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe Apple Watch display, so it is not enough for those who use just a clock. But the kit itself is cheaper than film.

3. Replaceable straps for Apple Watch

They lived: to get the clock Apple is easier than finding the desired strap to them :) The problem, by the way, is relevant even abroad, where special sites and communities are created to solve it. The resulting niche fills third-party straps manufacturers.

Their plus is that they offer either those belts that Apple have, but cheaper; Or such models that Apple simply is not. Here are some examples of such straps.

✓ Hoco Metal Watchband for Apple Watch - 5990 rubles.

Apple Metal Bracelet is worth a fabulous money: more than the basic model of the hours themselves! Therefore, we recommend to look in the direction of the analogs. Moreover, it is much easier to get them in Russia. Analogue from Hoco has a very similar design: matte steel, comfortable clasp. The mechanism is hidden, internal, without a large fastening from the outside, like Apple.

The live looks decently, perfectly combined with steel clock. Satellite costumes, business people and just fans of metal bracelets. And relatively inexpensive.

✓ Hoco Art Series Bamboo Real Leather - 5490 rub.

One of the deficiencies of Apple Watch is a specific set of original straps in which there was no place to be a classic. Personally, I, like many others, is used to traditional leather bracelets with natural texture. One of them promptly offers HOCO.

The red model is suitable regardless of the floor of the owner and will be gorgeous to be combined with the steel Apple Watch, as well as with white aluminum from the SPORT series. I look forward to an analog of black color to try on your Apple clock.

✓ Leather Baseus belt for Apple Watch - 2490 rub.

The steel Apple Watch scratchs the faster than other models from the Collection of the Smart Apple clock. For several years of daily use, the case loses a presentable view.

But it can be easily polished, and it is known. What for? For example, you are not satisfied with the appearance of the clock. Or are about to prepare them as a gift.

Suppose the solution to remove scratches is nice. Where to begin?

1. Where to buy to get a polyrolol

Very many rollers and instructions on this topic. Everywhere offer different polishing agents. Sometimes - a whole bunch.

It is unlikely that the desire to buy several varieties of this product will appear, besides in large tanks. It is quite expensive, for Apple Watch you need a minimum volume.

As I did:
On the way from work drove into the nearest car service. Usually they have everything to work with the car body, including with its steel surfaces. As a result, I "slept" a little polishing pasta into a glass of coffee for symbolic 100 rubles.

Moreover, two types.

2. What type of paste is suitable for Apple Watch?

Everything is very simple.

To eliminate small scratches, need a paste for gentle Processing.

If you need to eliminate deep scratches, then for tough. But the steel will lose its shine.

The girl polishes the paste body for hard processing.

Therefore, be sure to grab the "gentle" paste to apply the final touch and return the glossy surface into place.

3. What you need to do before polishing

At the last picture of the hole for the microphone and speakers are not covered. I also did not cover anything. As a result, I broke the paste from the cracks in all possible ways, because it was not washed with water. Consider this moment.

The holes are too small, but it is better to cover them down in advance with a scotch, than to suffer later.

And do not forget to completely clean the housing of the clock from all contaminants.

4. Do not apply a lot of paste

The more, the better - not this case. For this reason, you may have problems described at the beginning of the previous paragraph.

Apply a small layer of pasta on a slice of a cloth from the microfiber and scroll it. The rag should soak the paste so that there is no excessive. If they stayed - it means, the pastes are too much, and it will be pushed into the gap.

5. Do not overdo it

Perform polishing neatly, calm movements. The rag will be black - this is normal. In fact, we remove a thin outer layer of the case with scratches.

You can observe the process in this short video:

Outcome

My Apple Watch before polishing:

The result is excellent, watches as new.

But I do not advise polish Apple Watch without serious necessity. A small number of small scratches will not affect the overall perception of hours.

P.S. After some time, I decided to try a sports aluminum model. For 8 months of active use, not a single scratch either on the glass or on the body.

But in the future, it will not be possible to get rid of scratch: only the steel version of the clock can be polished.

Like any other wearable mobile gadget is subject to external influences.
