Owners of older Apple Watch Ultra models looking for a second life for their devices now have an option: a new accessory transforms the smartwatch into a handheld device reminiscent of classic iPods. The key feature is a rotating physical dial, allowing users to scroll through screens, control music playback, adjust volume and even play games without directly touching the display.
The accessory’s case is constructed from titanium, giving it a futuristic, robotic aesthetic. A magnetic circular charger is located on the back, whereas the side buttons are covered with silicone caps and speaker openings are incorporated into the design. Even with the case attached, the Apple Watch Ultra retains its contactless payment and navigation capabilities and can likewise function as a remote control for Apple TV or HomePod.
The manufacturer states the case is particularly well-suited for utilize while wearing gloves, as the dial can be rotated without requiring touchscreen interaction. For users seeking to repurpose an existing Apple Watch Ultra, this accessory offers a practical and nostalgic solution. It is available for purchase starting at HKD 390 here.
This innovative approach to extending the life of wearable technology highlights a growing trend of resourceful adaptation within the consumer electronics market.
