Any recommendations for a strap that can swim and daily wear? I am already buying one ciplak ocean strap from Shopee.

Am I right that the default sports strap and all its derivatives with the metal stud to fit into a hole, can be ripped off if there was some force applied?

What strap would you use for a formal dinner event, or am I really trying too hard?

tempered glass being flat won't really cover the whole curved screen, and there is always a few edges with non-activated or non sticking adhesive hence you get the edges with bubble or air gap. very ugly.

with phones you can add some oil underneath and it patches like a charm but with a watch i think it wont work as you may swim and bathe and wash hands with your watch.

when it is used, a glass will always be the best protection for your screen. i have used this method for my last 10 years of gorilla glass phone experience and not a single one of my phone has a scratch on it.

but the problems with a dual curved display like the apple watch really prevents great use of tempered glass.

so you are left with the flexible screen protectors. i have one on my watch and with patience and time you can stick it very nicely. but it will not stop drop and crack damage. you need a case with higher lip or edges to absorb the contact and impact.

the screen protectors are called hydrogel or tpu or whatever name, they usually are less than rm2 each.
