Thatā€™s a lot of straps for a newcomer! Enjoy!

Take that case off and just get a tempered glass screen protector. The case is going to bottle up heat and reduce the life of your battery.

Iā€™ll keep that in mind, thank you. I just got it and really donā€™t want it scratched. Ps: I am clumsy šŸ«

I feel you and I totally understand wanting to protect your device, but I can say as an avid snowboarder and mountain biker the glass that they use in a normal Apple Watch is considerably more durable than previous generations. After retiring my series 6 that was used for years with no protection at all the glass was virtually spotless even when examining under bright lights. They let you add AppleCare plus monthly now and you can keep it as long as you want so that might be something you could consider for peace of mind.

Are you gonna paid her a new watch if it gets damage ? Tired of people here criticizing those who use a case

Watches are subject to wear and tear and thatā€™s fine. And cases just trap dirt and water between the screen and case anyway which encourages scratching.

Itā€™s a proven fact that using a case like that will diminish battery life. 99% of people who buy a new Apple Watch buy it because the battery is at the end of its life expectancy. Modern Apple watches, even non-sapphire, are extremely durable these days and you literally need to take a hammer to it to do any kind of damage. Sorry youā€™re so offended by good advice. Actually Iā€™m not sorry itā€™s pathetic.

Do they make tempered glass screen protectors? I tried finding one but havenā€™t seen any.

u/Nebulosa_507 S7 45mm Midnight Aluminum 1d ago

They do, but do not protect the housing very well nor impacts, there are a few in amazon

I saw your reply through an email notification and I wish you could see how huge the smile is on my face thinking and laughing about how pathetic your life must be.

To be honest I stopped using any kind of screen protection on my watches after series 3. Used the hell out of my series 6 mountain biking and snowboarding and with no protection the glass was still super clean the day I retired it. I feel like even the non-sapphire technology has gotten so good you really need to go out of your way to inflict any noticeable damage.

I already got a very minor scratch on my series 10 but itā€™s not noticeable. I tried finding a screen protector but I hate plastic ones so I bought apple care and now Iā€™m just not gonna worry about it. I bought some backup cases if I feel like using them when hitting the park skiing or when I go dirtbiking, but I doubt Iā€™ll need em.

Love it! I got one for Christmas years ago and never wore it. I overheard my husband complaining about it so now I wear it. I keep forgetting to turn it off when I take it off. The battery was dying very quickly. Good luck and enjoy all the fantastic features!

why are u using the case

u/Parking_Ebb_4453 22h ago

Donā€™t want any scratches on it

u/H_cranky 19h ago

But ive heard you actually scratch your watch more if you have a case because particles can go in between and get stuck there

u/Parking_Ebb_4453 18h ago

Iā€™m no expert but I think of it the same way as my iPhone which also always has a case.

Why do you want 8 straps?

Are they all genuine Apple straps?

Edit: fuck me for not knowing what 3rd party straps are I guess. Sorry I have a life outside of Apple

u/Positive-Reserve-778 1d ago

They look like third party ones

OP: is that an se?

u/Parking_Ebb_4453 23h ago

To combine them with your clothes sugar bear (theo von quote)

Nothing wrong with that. I barely remember to charge it. I forget people like to accessorize

u/fatacad 1d ago

I have 87 straps. I choose them based on my emotional state during the day and my menstrual cycle. Well, if I was female I would, but itā€™s nice to have the menstrual cycle straps just in case I decide to transition.

u/Nebulosa_507 S7 45mm Midnight Aluminum 1d ago

If you ser the holes and colors they are clearly third parties

u/Parking_Ebb_4453 23h ago

Only the white strap is genuine. I plan to use it everyday and having a few extra straps is fun for me to switch them and use with different outfits.
