Apple Watch Edition 42mm (1st gen) Design and Build

Design and Build

The design of the Apple Watch Edition 42mm is a testament to Apple's commitment to combining technological innovation with elegant design. At 42 x 35.9 x 10.5 mm and weighing 69 grams, the watch feels substantial yet comfortable on the wrist, largely due to its thoughtful ergonomics and premium materials. The watch's body is crafted from 18-karat yellow or rose gold, which not only adds to its luxurious appeal but also ensures durability. The ceramic back and sapphire crystal glass front further enhance its premium feel while protecting the display and sensor systems. The device is designed to be IPX7 water-resistant, allowing it to withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes, which is convenient for everyday wear and accidental splashes.
