Turn your Apple Watch into a Rolex with these luxury metal cases
I’m pretty sure there’s a sizeable group of people who like the Apple Watch for its functionality but not for its looks. It looks fantastic for a smartwatch but it doesn’t appeal to everybody. This Apple Watch Case is for the watch lover who has spent too many hours looking at Rolexes, Brietlings, and Tag Heuers. It transforms your tech-savvy watch into something truly unique. The case features a steel body with an elegantly sculpted strap and comes in either steel or leather. Designed by the folks at Serafino Luxury, the case transforms the Apple Watch from tech wearable to haute horlogerie. There are many styles to choose from, including metallic, anodized gold, blue and green finishes. Depending on the style you choose, you even get a complimentary strap to match the case.
Designer: Serafino Luxury
Available for all Apple Watch makes, including the slightly varied size of the Series 7 watch, the cases act merely as an aesthetic clad for your watch, sort of the way a cover clads your phone. Although a case’s primary purpose is to protect the phone from damage, Serafino Luxury’s Apple Watch Cases can be used to enhance your watch’s aesthetics without restricting its capabilities. Each case encloses your Apple Watch’s main hardware unit, exposing the screen on the front in a way that’s still easy to access, while also keeping the sensors and charging points on the rear of the watch uncovered. A metal overlay is added to the Apple Watch’s crown. This crown will be replaced by a more classic-looking watch crown. The power button beneath it gets covered with a clickable metal covering. The smartwatch functions as it was intended, thanks to the cutouts that allow for microphone and speaker.
Perhaps the only tradeoffs that really come to mind are firstly the fact that any case or accessory for your Apple Watch will add to its weight. There’s little word on how much these cases weigh, but you can expect a moderate increase to your wristwatch’s overall weight. The newer Apple Watches have a wraparound screen that minimizes bezels. However, Serafino Luxury cases feature large, chunky bezels which can (I repeat: may) hinder you from getting to the edge of your screen. Although the casing can reduce the watch’s tapping engine response, this is something you will only be able to assess once they are worn.
Serafino Luxury’s cases cost anywhere between $229 and $299 depending on the style you pick. Each case comes with everything you need, such as an interchangeable strap and a silicone case that protects your Apple Watch from scratches. The cases are available for all Apple Watch models and sizes (including even the SE), and if you feel your Apple Watch just lacks that je ne sais quoi, you can snag one of these cases on Serafino Luxury’s website.
