The smartwatches They came into our lives some time ago to stay and be the perfect complement to our mobile device. Thanks to this, not only will we be able to check the time on our wrist but we will also not miss a call again and we will be able, for example, to check any notification at work without having to remove our terminal from our pocket or purse.
Unfortunately, they are very exposed gadgets and that at any moment they can suffer a blow, leaving us marked forever. I don't know about you, but at least I hate my smartwatch getting scratched or damaged. That is why today I am going to offer you 5 tips to take care of your smartwatch and thus extend its useful life.
If you have a smartwatch or are thinking of sharing it very soon, keep reading because surely this will interest you and you will discover some interesting tips and information that can help you keep your new device in good condition.
Use a tempered glass to protect the screen
Most of the smart watches that are available on the market offer us a screen created with materials that protect it from bumps and scratches, although not always as we would like. Luckily there are a lot of tempered glass to protect our screen and prevent it from scratching or even breaking.
If you have a Apple Watch, Gear S2 or LG Watch R In Amazon you can find a huge amount of different tempered glass with very different prices. In the event that you have a lesser-known smartwatch, don't worry because also in the virtual store created by Jeff Bezos or in any other of the many that exist in the network of networks you can find protection for your smartwatch.
Of course, before launching to buy it, Keep in mind that the tempered glass will reduce some visibility to the screen and will make it a bit different just like it happens on mobile devices.
The covers, not pretty, but very effective
The covers are not only for mobile devices and is that many smartphone accessory companies have seen good business making covers for smartwatches too. They are not usually too expensive, especially in some of the most popular Chinese stores, although we already told you that I do not think you will find any that are pretty, although they are highly effective.
If you don't tend to be too careful with your watches, even though they won't be too pretty, you may need to use one of these covers at least on occasion. They are not too expensive and for example you can find many very different ones, for various smartwatches, on Amazon.
Avoid rushing and bringing your smartwatch to dangerous places
For a few months now I have been wearing a smart watch on my wrist at all times, which tends to get me out of a lot of trouble, especially when I am working and where I cannot be permanently on my smartphone, which is always on silent mode. Since I bought it I have been reluctant to put a tempered glass or a cover on it continuously.
What I have decided to do is go without haste, with the smartwatch on, and avoid bringing it close to dangerous places such as the corners of furniture or doors. To be honest, it is not easy at all, because we all spend half our lives running, but for now I have managed to avoid any blow that could leave me as a memory an ugly scratch, on the smartwatch box or on the screen.
Take off your smartwatch when you see danger nearby
A great piece of advice a friend gave me when I bought my smartwatch was to take it off whenever I saw danger nearby. I rarely remove my device except to charge it, but every time I have to do something that can be dangerous I take it off my wrist. Tidying up the garage, moving some furniture or washing the car can be things in which your smartwatch can go wrong and also in which you will not need it at all.
Of course, if you spend the day facing danger, perhaps you should buy a more protected and resistant smartwatch, of which there are more and more on the market at very interesting prices. It is also a great option as we have already mentioned before putting a cover on it.
It's a watch, don't forget
Smartphones, tablets or smartwatches are devices of our day to day, but no one should forget that we should enjoy them. If we suffer at all times and are constantly worried that they will be scratched or damaged, in the end we will end up not enjoying them.
A smartwatch is still a watch, to which we must make the most of it and also enjoy it as much as we can, taking care of it, but without becoming obsessed with taking care of it in every detail. I am also one of those who thinks that sooner or later we will end up hitting him or giving him a scratch.

Smartwatches will not be useful until the battery lasts a minimum of 4 days without recharging. In addition, this operation should never be done by induction since this method overheats the battery reducing its -by nature- short useful life. In summer, exceeding 70% charge can be very difficult after the first year. You can change the battery, of course. But it is not easy or cheap.
Your answer is very interesting, we take note.

My 360 motorcycle has just turned two years old, and it is still in perfect condition despite having received the odd blow. They are quite resistant although they do not have protection. The only thing I regret is the battery, which used to last two days and now just one, but the fault is the update to marshmallow, which left it a disgusting. As for the utility, I use it every day and it has become an inseparable companion. This topic will depend on each one and what we want to do with it. Honestly, when you have your mobile well stored in your bag, taking it out can be an odyssey. The clock in that sense saves me a lot of time, especially when the messages are not important.
The Moto 360 was my first smartwatch, what memories. Regarding the last thing you say, I totally agree with you, sometimes finding and being able to take out the smartphone is an odyssey.
A greeting!
