Watch Case Cover 44mm (1551201479-1860) Compatible with Apple Watch Series 8/7/SE/6/5/4/3/2 – Review

I’ve been using the Watch Case Cover 44mm (Model Number: 1551201479-1860) for the past few weeks on my Apple Watch Series 8, and I’m ready to share my comprehensive review. This clear case promises scratch protection, enhanced touch sensitivity, and easy application – but does it deliver? Let’s dive in.

The case boasts a multi-layer design intended for enhanced durability. The marketing emphasizes its slim profile and promises to maintain the original responsiveness of the Apple Watch screen. The application process is claimed to be simple, using an ultra-thin adhesive that leaves no residue upon removal. In reality, the case is remarkably thin and doesn’t add much bulk to the watch. The clear design allows the watch face to remain fully visible.

The claims of scratch resistance are largely true. I’ve subjected my Apple Watch to daily wear and tear, including accidental bumps against walls and door frames, and haven’t noticed any scratches on the screen itself. The touch sensitivity is excellent; I haven’t experienced any lag or unresponsive taps. The adhesive is indeed easy to apply and has left no residue after a test removal and reapplication (important for maintaining watch cleanliness).

However, there are a few minor caveats. While the case is thin, it does add a slight amount of friction to the rotating crown. It’s not a major issue, but noticeable after prolonged use. Also, the clarity isn’t absolutely perfect; very faint smudges and fingerprints are still slightly visible, though significantly less than on an unprotected screen. This is a minor imperfection compared to the overall benefit it provides.

Pros:

  • Excellent scratch protection.
  • Maintains excellent touch sensitivity.
  • Easy application and residue-free removal.
  • Slim profile; minimal bulk added to the watch.
  • Clear design maintains watch face visibility.

Cons:

  • Slight increase in friction on the rotating crown.
  • Not perfectly clear; slight fingerprints/smudges may be visible.

Overall, the Watch Case Cover 44mm (1551201479-1860) is a highly effective and reasonably priced screen protector for the Apple Watch. The exceptional scratch protection and maintained touch sensitivity make it a worthwhile investment for anyone wanting to safeguard their smartwatch screen. Despite the minor drawbacks of slightly increased crown friction and less than perfect clarity, the advantages far outweigh these minor inconveniences. I would definitely recommend this case to protect your Apple Watch.
