6 Best Rugged Cases for Samsung Galaxy Watch6 Classic

Samsung finally listened to growing criticism and brought the fan-favorite rotating bezel back with the Galaxy Watch6 Classic. Available in a couple of color options and 43mm/47mm sizes, the Galaxy Watch’s durability remains as robust as before. However, we still advise investing in a case to prevent accidental damage and scratches. Read along to learn more about the best-rugged cases for Galaxy Watch6 Classic.

While Samsung has used a durable sapphire crystal outer layer to protect the Super AMOLED screen on the Galaxy Watch6 Classic, it’s not safeguarded from hard falls or daily wear and tear. Although buying a rugged smartwatch case comes at the cost of the wearable’s aesthetics, the extra protection ensures long-term use and better resale value.

• Keep your Galaxy Watch6 scratch-free with the top screen protectors.

1. Nxtudy Protective Case Cover

Unlike the other options on the list, Nxtudy didn’t bundle just one protective case and call it a day. On the contrary, the company offers three cases and a screen protector at an affordable price. As such, the brand’s bundle guarantees long-term use without extra expenses every few months.

The case comes with several shades to match your personality. It is waterproof, made of polycarbonate, and comes with precise holes for side buttons. However, the case does block the rotating bezels and you may face a hard time with bezel rotation.

2. Goton Heavy-Duty Case

Goton’s heavy-duty case is available in two sizes – 43mm and 47mm. The screen protector is made of tempered glass with 9H hardness, and the case uses thermoplastic polyurethane to keep the added heft in check.

The company offers three color options to match your Galaxy Watch6 Classic’s shade. Your purchase also comes with a high-quality PC material ring cover for the bezel ring and ensures a smooth rotation. Consequently, the case doesn’t affect the USP of the device.

3. SPGUARD Shockproof Case

The listing above is compatible with the Galaxy Watch6 Classic 47mm variant. The company also offers the same for 43mm size. You get five cases and screen protectors with your purchase. Considering the asking price, it is quite a generous offering from SPGUARD.

The screen protector offers an HD quality and 9H hardness. The package comes with all the relevant accessories to apply the case and glass on the go. The case partially blocks the rotating bezel, though. You can still use it, but it takes some time to get used to it.

4. KSKSPE Durable Case

KSKSPE offers a rugged TPU armor bumper case, a bezel ring, and an HD protector film. The case protects the watch body, the bezel ring ensures smooth rotation and tempered glass protects the most essential part of a smartwatch – the display.

Unfortunately, the case comes in Black and Blue color options only. It may look out of place on your Silver Galaxy Watch6 Classic. The installation is quite easy and quick. Just ensure to keep the accessories dry and away from moisture during the installation, and you are good to go.

5. Caseology Vault Rugged Case

Similar to Spigen, Caseology is the official accessory partner for Samsung. The company has access to astute measurements, and you can expect a precise fit and finish from all the accessories for Samsung devices.

The raised lip protects your Galaxy Watch’s bezel and screen effectively. The concoction doesn’t restrict the wearable’s key features, including bezel rotation, body sensor measurements, heart rate monitoring, and more. The case supports wireless charging, too. We aren’t the biggest fans of the four silver screws, though as they break away from the case’s otherwise seamless design.

6. Spigen Rugged Armor Pro

When you use a rugged case on your Galaxy Watch6 Classic, it may not seamlessly fit with the standard band. Thankfully, Spigen’s protective case comes attached with a rugged band that looks quite good too.

The case also has precise cutouts for all the sensors. As such, it doesn’t come in the way of the watch’s Body Composition Measurement and heart rate monitoring and also supports wireless charging. Sadly, the case only comes in the Black color option. The pricing is slightly on the higher side, too. However, it was expected, considering the full package from Spigen.

If anything, we would’ve liked to see the case without the ‘Rugged Armor’ branding, as it looks quite busy up close.

Your Expensive Purchase Deserves a Premium Protection
