Whether you’re swimming laps, hiking rugged terrain, or navigating a busy workday, your watch stays safe, functional, and ready for whatever comes next. The included microfiber cloth makes it easy to keep both the case and your watch screen clean and smudge-free, ensuring clarity and comfort during extended wear.
Key Features
- Waterproof up to 330 feet – Rigorously tested and certified for deep-water use, this case protects your Apple Watch during swimming, snorkeling, and recreational diving. The sealed design prevents water ingress, so you can focus on your activity without worrying about damage from moisture or pressure at depth.
- Shockproof against drops up to 6.6 feet – Constructed to absorb and disperse impact energy, the case shields your watch from accidental falls onto hard surfaces like concrete, tile, or rock. This makes it a reliable companion for outdoor adventures, gym sessions, or daily commutes where bumps and drops are common.
- Integrated silicone band – The flexible, sweat-resistant silicone band is molded directly into the case, providing a snug and comfortable fit that stays in place during high-movement activities. It eliminates the need for a separate strap and ensures consistent security without added bulk.
- Full access to buttons and sensors – Thoughtfully designed with precise cutouts and tactile button covers, the case allows complete use of the digital crown, side button, and touchscreen. You can adjust settings, launch apps, and interact with your watch naturally—no need to remove the case for functionality.
- Included microfiber cloth – A soft, lint-free cloth is provided to gently clean the case exterior and your watch display. This helps maintain optical clarity and prevents buildup from sweat, sunscreen, or environmental debris.
- Designed for Apple Watch Series 9/8/7 (45mm) – Precision-engineered to fit only the 45mm models of these specific Apple Watch generations, ensuring a tight, secure seal and uninterrupted charging via magnetic dock. It does not interfere with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or heart rate sensor performance.
