Don't buy a case for your Apple Watch

But it's not the same situation with the Apple Watch.

I've been using the Apple Watch for three weeks now, and never felt the need for a case. It doesn't make sense.

You can't drop the Apple Watch because it's strapped to your wrist. The screen is practically indestructible, as Consumer Reports and others have found. And cases just look silly on the Apple Watch as you see above.

Maybe if you constantly bang your watch against the wall you should consider a case. But like any other pricey watch, the Apple Watch is designed to withstand every day wear and tear.

Go naked.
