Apple Watch Sport: the entry-level model
On the one hand, you pay significantly less for the entry-level model of the Apple Watch, on the other hand, you cut back on the case and the screen protector.
- Case: The case of the Apple Watch Sport is made of anodized aluminum. It makes a more matte impression than the standard collection and is reminiscent of the case of the iPhone.
- Hardware: As already mentioned, the Apple Watch Sport uses exactly the same hardware as in the standard collection. You don't have to cut corners here.
- Display: The display is protected with Ion-X glass. This is not quite as robust as sapphire glass, but should still keep scratches away.
- Colors and bracelets: The aluminum case is available in silver, gold and "space gray". Compared to the Apple Watch, the selection of bracelets is less high quality, but still diverse. The bracelets are largely made of plastic.
- Price: The Apple Watch Sport costs 349 or 399 euros depending on the size of Apple. Here you can also find the current prices of the Apple Watch Sport in the CHIP price comparison.
