Table of Contents
For weeks, I’ve been testing the Apple Watch Series 10 46mm case with Tempered Film Screen Protector (Model Number: A0260022), and I’m ready to share my honest assessment. This review dives deep into its functionality, protection, and overall user experience.
The A0260022 case boasts a straightforward design: a clear, hard PC bumper with an integrated tempered glass screen protector. The marketing promises full protection, easy installation, and maintained touch sensitivity. Let’s see if it delivers.

Installation was a breeze, exactly as advertised. The snap-on design is ingenious, requiring no band removal. The clarity of the screen protector is excellent; I haven’t noticed any significant impact on screen visibility or touch responsiveness. The case itself adds minimal bulk, remaining comfortable even during extended wear.
I’ve subjected the case to several accidental bumps and minor drops. It’s held up remarkably well, protecting my Apple Watch from any scratches or damage. The raised edges provide adequate protection for the screen, preventing direct contact with surfaces. The ability to charge without removing the case is a huge plus, saving time and effort.
However, while the case offers decent scratch protection, I’m not entirely convinced it would withstand a significant impact. It feels durable enough for everyday wear and tear, but I wouldn’t necessarily trust it to protect the watch from a serious fall onto hard concrete.
During strenuous activities like running, I did notice a slight increase in heat around the watch, possibly due to the case trapping some of the generated heat. This is not a significant issue, but something worth noting.
Pros:
- Easy installation
- Excellent screen clarity
- Maintained touch sensitivity
- Good protection against minor scratches and bumps
- Wireless charging compatible
- Minimal bulk
Cons:
- May not provide sufficient protection against serious impacts
- Slight increase in watch temperature during strenuous activity
Overall, the Apple Watch Series 10 46mm case (A0260022) is a solid protective case. Its ease of use, screen clarity, and adequate protection for everyday use make it a worthwhile purchase for those seeking added peace of mind. While it might not be the ultimate shield against extreme damage, it provides excellent value for its price. I would recommend this case to anyone looking for a simple yet effective way to protect their Apple Watch Series 10 from minor scrapes and bumps.
