The Nomad POD is an ideal accessory for the Apple Watch owner who is often on the go. The POD is basically a self contained charging station for your Apple Watch. I'm no longer stuck carrying multiple separate components to charge my watch: goodbye twisted and tangled magnetic charging cable & A/C power adapter! I also have the freedom to wirelessly charge my watch anywhere I desire; the built in battery eliminates the need for a free USB port or A/C outlet.
Pros: compact sleek design, freedom to wirelessly charge anywhere, built in cable management, multiple full charges for my 42mm watch, simple to use, durable.
Cons: tight fit for original 2 meter magnetic charging cable (I made it work by carefully winding the cable, see my pic), ideal for open-banded watches but requires fidgeting to accommodate closed-banded styles (be cautious when wrapping band around the POD, you may scratch your desk/nightstand/watch band).
Personalize your Apple Watch 42mm or Apple Watch Sport 42mm with this Case-Mate Signature CM032800 smartwatch band, which is made of leather for a comfortable feel. Painted detailing offers a stylish look.
My first thought after removing the watch from its retail packaging was "Is this really leather?" The band felt like thick cardboard and I had to double check the box to see if I was looking at the actual band or just a cardboard insert! I decided to go ahead and install the band on my watch to check it out. The band slid easily into the proprietary Apple plug - nice tight fit. Although the feel of the band leaves a bit to be desired, the overall look is handsome. You can see the attention to detail in the clasp as well as the metal connector that attaches to the watch. The watch band is also a little small for my wrist...the stock Apple Sport band had plenty of room to adjust but with this band I only have 3 remaining holes for adjustment (see pic). Overall I feel like I overpaid for this product at $58.56. This would be a good value at around the $30 price mark in my opinion. This is to be expected considering the lack of 3rd party options right now as the watch is fairly new to the market.
Protect your 42mm Apple Watch display with this Zagg HD clear screen protector. Self-healing smart molecules on its scratch-resistant surface maintain the screen's pristine appearance, and EZ Apply tabs make installation fast and simple. This Zagg HD clear screen protector comes with a lint-free cleaning cloth to keep your watch's screen visible.
The included installation instructions are not very clear, but thankfully I have a fair amount of experience installing screen protectors.
Here is a tip for those who haven't installed plastic screen protectors for smartwatches before: -After applying wipe to adhesive, align the protector the best you can on the screen. -Press down firmly on the protector with the plastic tab still attached. -Take the included microfiber cloth and double it up on top of the plastic tab. -Now use the included squeegee to firmly smooth out the protector. -Remove plastic tab. -Use squeegee to smooth out any bubbles. -When almost all bubbles are gone, use the microfiber cloth one last time and focus pressure where any remaining bubbles are. Be sure to get the edges of the screen so the protector lays flat. -It will take about 24 hours for the tiny bubbles remaining to work themselves out.
Take a look at the picture of the finished product. Hope this helps!
Shield your 42mm Apple Watch against scratches and impacts with this X-Doria Defense Edge 62-0885-05-XP case, which features a machined-aluminum exterior and a soft rubber interior to guard your device against damage.
Of all the currently available Apple Watch cases, the X-Doria Defense Edge is by far the best looking. Made of aluminum this case not only protects my watch but it also accents the style. The rubber insert cushions and protects the watch from impacts and scratches. My only complaint is that there are a few slight blemishes in the aluminum anodizing...they are very small and only an OCD person like myself would even notice. Overall I highly recommend this case if you're looking to protect your watch with style!
