Most people who own an Apple Watch will probably proudly wear it on their wrists (sometimes too proudly?). But there are occasions when a smartwatch may not fit your outfit or the vibes. There are brands that have created ways for you to still sport the device without being on your wrist. One way would be to go old school and wear it as a pocket watch and Bucardo has created several variants of this. Their latest innovation, the Universal Fit Pocket Watch accessory, reimagines the Apple Watch by transforming it into a sophisticated pocket watch, seamlessly blending Apple’s state-of-the-art technology with the refined aesthetics of vintage timekeeping.
With its sleek stainless-steel case, intricate engravings, and detachable chain, the accessory brings a sense of old-world charm to a device born from Silicon Valley innovation. It’s more than just a change in form—it’s a nod to a bygone era where pocket watches symbolized status, style, and craftsmanship. Whether you’re drawn to the retro appeal of early 20th-century design, interested in making a fashion statement, or simply seeking a fresh, non-traditional way to wear your Apple Watch, this accessory invites users to rethink how they engage with modern wearables.
Designer: Bucardo
With this accessory, you are able to replace the traditional Apple Watch straps with a stainless-steel housing that evokes the Art Deco glamour of the early 20th century with its refined pinstripe engraving. When closed, the cover protects the watch face; flip it open to reveal your digital display nestled within a classic pocket‑watch silhouette. Unlike previous iterations, this one fits all Apple Watch models from Series 1 to 9, and from the 38mm, 40mm, 41mm, 42mm, 44mm and 45mm sizes.
The pocket watch cases are made from premium stainless steel and comes with a 15″ detachable chain. You get easy access to your Apple Watch display with one button while the back of the case lets you charge your device easily. You can choose to use this as an actual pocket carry, tucked into your pants, pocket, or an actual waistcoast. You can also use this is a necklace or lanyard if you find a longer necklace loop. Or you can just prop it up on your table or shelf when not in use.
Bucardo’s Universal Fit Apple Watch Pocket Watch is more than a mere novelty, it’s a thoughtful reimagining of how we engage with wearable tech. By blending heritage design with modern engineering, it invites us to slow down, appreciate craftsmanship, and carry our digital lives in truly classic fashion. Whether you’re a tech aficionado or a style purist, this accessory offers a refreshing alternative to the wrist.
