Table of Contents
For weeks, I’ve been testing the Thin Fit (Model Number ACS04174) case for my Apple Watch Series 8 (45mm), putting it through the daily grind of office life and weekend adventures. This review aims to offer a balanced perspective on its performance, based on real-world usage.

In terms of protection, the Thin Fit has performed admirably. The raised bezels effectively protect the screen from scratches and minor impacts. I’ve dropped my watch a few times (don’t ask!), and the case has successfully absorbed the impact, keeping my watch screen unscathed. The fit is snug, ensuring the case remains firmly in place throughout daily activities. The cutouts are precise, allowing effortless access to the digital crown, side button, and speaker. I experienced no issues with connectivity or charging.
However, while the case is marketed as ‘slim’, it does add a noticeable layer of thickness, although this is minimal compared to more bulky protective cases. The matte finish, while aesthetically pleasing, is slightly prone to attracting fingerprints and smudges. This requires more frequent wiping than I initially anticipated. After several weeks of use, I haven’t noticed any signs of wear or tear, suggesting the case is durable enough for everyday use. It successfully withstands daily wear and tear without sacrificing the watch’s sleek design.
Pros:
- Excellent scratch protection
- Precise cutouts for easy access to all features
- Slim and lightweight design (relatively speaking)
- Durable construction
- Raised bezels for screen protection
Cons:
- Slightly prone to fingerprints and smudges
- Adds a noticeable, albeit minimal, amount of bulk
Overall, the Thin Fit case (ACS04174) offers a solid balance between protection and a minimal design. While it’s not entirely invisible, it does a commendable job of safeguarding my Apple Watch Series 8 without significantly compromising its aesthetics or functionality. If you’re looking for dependable everyday protection without sacrificing the sleek look of your Apple Watch, the Thin Fit case is a worthy consideration. I would definitely recommend it.
