Our recommendation

Let’s say you’re looking for the best and most rugged cases for your smartwatch. In that case, we usually recommend SUPCASE’s Unicorn Beetle Pro and Spigen’s Rugged Armor Pro cases, as they provide excellent protection for the entire body of the smartwatch. The screen is also well protected and you’re unlikely to scratch the surface of the screen, although it might be a good idea to pick up a hardened screen protector if you feel like you’re a little thin.

The Spigen Liquid Air, Caseology Vault, and Ringke Slim cases provide excellent overall protection if you want something thinner and lighter. These are all great for everyday users who commute a lot, or want peace of mind with some extra protection. The transparent Spigen Thin Fit cases are also ideal, especially if you want to show off the beauty of your new smartwatch.
