Protect your Apple Watch with the Catalyst Impact Protection Case

The Apple Watch is designed to go on our wrists while we practice any type of exercise and thus monitor all our activity, save all the data on our iPhone and be able to see our evolution, best brands, etc. But this has a risk, and that is Although Apple has endowed its smartwatch with resistance to water and dust, shocks are still its great enemy.

Protecting your Apple Watch against shocks, both on the glass and on the steel or aluminum case itself, is highly recommended if we carry out "dangerous" activities and want to avoid regrets. And doing so with discreet, comfortable, easy-on-and-off protection is essential.. We show you the Catalyst Impact Protection Case, a combination of a protective case and a sports strap that looks luxurious on our watch while protecting it.

Steel or aluminum, sapphire or Ion-X

The Apple Watch is available in two models, steel and aluminum. The first has a sapphire crystal, very resistant to scratches, but more delicate against impacts. The aluminum sports model has a glass made of a material Apple calls Ion-X, which is more resistant to impacts but less to scratches. Therefore, whatever it may be, either of the two models have a weak point, either for scratches (sports model) or impacts (steel model) And taking into account that the front glass is the one with the highest risk of receiving blows and other attacks with daily use, protection to avoid risks is important. To this we have to add that the box can also be damaged. Here an impact is more complicated, but scratches from daily use also come to it, even more so if we use our hands a lot due to our work or sports.

Discreet and with well-kept details

Catalyst makes great products to protect our devices. There are more striking and more discreet, and this time with the Apple Watch they have succeeded with a product that goes quite unnoticed. The protection for the box is made of plastic, with a rigid front frame, in matt black color, and another frame for the softer sides, which greatly facilitates the placement of the casing. They have taken care of details such as being able to use the crown with ease, not only to press it but even to turn it without having to do strange maneuvers. The side button is also pressed well, although here some touch has been lost. It retains the holes for the microphone and speaker, so you can continue to use your Apple Watch to answer calls. The case protrudes just above the screen to protect it from bumps.

The bottom of the Apple Watch is completely exposed, so both the ECG sensor and the heart rate sensor will work perfectly. We can also see that the straps have a quick fastening system, to remove them in a couple of seconds and be able to place other normal straps, perfectly compatible with any model you find on Amazon or a watch store.

Comfortable and moderate in size

The watch is very comfortable to wear with Catalyst protection. It is first because the case does not bulge too much, because you can easily place it under the sleeve of a shirt or a sweatshirt, and because handling the crown and the side button is very easy. But it is also very comfortable because of the strap. With a safety hook that will not let go even if you practice intense sports, the strap is perforated throughout, so it is breathable. But it also has a certain elasticity, so that you can fix the watch well so that it does not have problems when capturing the pulse without being uncomfortable.
