Technology companies are making massive strides in the Wearable Technology market. The wearable market is expected to jump from an estimate of 325 million in 2016 to over 830 million in 2020. As with the evolution of wearable technology to smaller and lighter technology, product protection cannot afford to remain stagnant.
Due to Wearable Technology being more exposed than other gadgets that can be kept in a pocket or purse, it makes sense that screen damage is so prevalent. Damage to the face of the device, such as accidental scratches or cracks, can cost up to $400 to repair. New Gizmo Blog guest blogger Melissa Pelley test drove the Catalyst Case and Sports Band to see how it protected her Apple wearable.
I was fortunate enough to test out the Catalyst Case and Sports Band for my Apple Watch. It worked just as I had expected. Kept my watch safe from bumps, drops, and spills. The band was also incredibly light-weight and breathable – a great addition for working out.
I primarily used the case and sports band when I went to the gym and it gave you the additional comfort of protecting your device. Often times I would want to wear my Apple Watch to the gym to track my activity and get stats from my work out. But I was always cautious, not wanting to damage or scratch my watch by accidentally hitting it against a piece of equipment. With the Catalyst Case I felt like working out was a breeze and I didn’t worry about damaging my watch and could concentrate on my work outs fully. The Catalyst Case provides a special touch-sensitive membrane on the backside, which allows me to access all of the important contact features on my watch.
The Catalyst case is an extremely comfortable watch case. Though it looks like a serious rugged covering for your Apple Watch, it’s lightweight and incredibly flexible. The bands are connected with hinges instead of a one-piece mold. The Catalyst Sports Band was an added bonus for working out, the light-weight breathable design was perfect for keeping cool.
This is a great product for any gym-goers, active runners, and swimmers. The sleek design is the cherry-on-top for this protective case.
