Bumpers and Bands: 2 Apple Watch Accessories You Need Right Now

Your Apple products are an investment. So keep your watch protected with two of the best Apple Watch accessories from Pelican Outdoor.

Bumpers and bands are two of the most important Apple Watch accessories to protect your watch. The bands are apparent, right? You've got to keep your watch on you. But for the backpacker or camper, it has to stand up to the rigors of the outdoors and fit comfortably. 

A bumper - which is a rugged, form-fitting shell that completely encases your Apple Watch - will keep your watch from getting scratched or broken.

While the Apple Watch package doesn't include a protective case, it does come with a band.

Sure, Apple Watch ships with Apple Watch bands in the box. But maybe the leather band or sport band just isn't you. Fear not! Pelican Outdoor makes rugged and comfortable bands specifically for the outdoor adventurer.

Apple Watch Sizing

When the first generation of Apple Watch was released in 2015, 38mm and 42mm were the standard sizes for the watch's face and continued through to Apple Watch 3.

Over successive generations (notably Apple Watch Series 4-6, including Apple Watch SE), that range has increased to 40mm and 44mm.

The "size" relates to the watch face's vertical dimension or "height." If you have forgotten or are wondering what size you have, simply measure vertically from the top to the bottom of the face with a measuring tape. Either use a tape that contains millimeters for units or convert from centimeters. If you're really fancy, use a caliper to measure!

The larger screen wasn't the only thing to be updated. Each new generation also offered improvements ranging from water resistance to improved health features such as measuring oxygen saturation in your blood.

With remote control functions, health and fitness tracking, and the ability to navigate around using Maps, the Apple Watch has a wide range of features that goes beyond just telling time.
