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

Design and Build

The Apple Watch Sport 42mm strikes a balance between style and functionality. With its dimensions of 42 x 35.9 x 10.5 mm, it maintains a compact presence on the wrist. Weighing only 30 grams, the watch is barely noticeable during wear, emphasizing comfort for everyday use. The device sports a durable build with a glass front and a composite plastic back, framed in aluminum, which ensures longevity without adding unnecessary bulk. While it lacks cellular connectivity, the IPX7 rating offers some protection against water, making it resistant to splashes and light rain, but not suitable for swimming.
