The Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 is a solid upgrade over the Watch 5 and Watch 4 that came before it. The screen is bigger despite the fact the watch itself is the same overall size, and the new Exynos W930 is a cracking processor. The Watch 6 doesn’t have the Galaxy Watch 6 Classic’s rotating bezel, but it has a digital version that replicates that functionality. It’s easy to see why the Watch 6 is one of the best smartwatches right now.
The Watch 6 series is made of armor, aluminum, and sapphire crystal glass, making it more durable than most. However, it can still be damaged if you aren’t careful. Scratching, scuffing, or even cracking your shiny new watch will ruin the look, so the best way to prevent that is by using a case and screen protector. This being a Samsung device, there are plenty of options to choose from, so we’ve collected the best together in one place.
Smartwatches require a unique sort of protection. Not only are they as much fashion accessories as tech gadgets, but they’re much more susceptible to bumps and scrapes from being worn on your wrist all day. This makes impact protection much more important than drop protection, especially for the screen, but it also means you want to be able to do it with at least a bit of flair.
Of course, that second point is entirely a matter of personal choice, so Spigen’s Ultra Hybrid is our top pick for the most well-rounded protection. The transparent design won’t detract from the aesthetic of your Galaxy Watch 6, yet it includes a built-in screen protector and remains slim and lightweight enough that you can almost forget it’s there. If you do want to dress things up a bit, though, Tensea’s screen protector kit provides great value, with five tempered glass protectors and five cases in unique colors in one very affordable package.
For a more rugged style, Spigen’s Rugged Armor Pro is a great premium pick as it provides a sturdy built-in watch strap and a shock-resistant design that isn’t too over the top. It also pairs very well with Spigen’s GlasTR EZ Fit for a great all-around protection combo.
Maybe if we start telling people the brain is an app they will start using it!
