So, I recently retired a Garmin Vivoactive HR that has seen 6 years of active duty on my wrist. I work in the grocery department of a supermarket and impacts with doors, shelves and other structures are a regular hazard of the job.
The Garmin has seen its fair share of those, and despite a non-functional touchscreen, shattered strap connections, broken accelerometer and more, it still manages to tell proper time and track my heart rate.
Looking at my shiny new Series 7, I don’t know if I could expect to say the same of it after even half that time period. I want to wear it to work, but I think a case is in order. What would be the best case for use in an environment where the Watch is going to experience regular impacts to both the face and edges?
I also work retail, and unless you are constantly falling every day on your watch I think it will survive perfectly fine, I recently retired my SS S7 for an AWU2, the only thing I’d recommend would be apple care for the battery and if anything were to break.
