Hello everyone, this is Yehwa
These days!
It seems like more and more people
are wearing smartwatches
I customized my Galaxy Watch before, right?
So
I wondered if there were any customization for Apple Watches, and when I looked into it
I found that Apple Watch customizations
are incredibly diverse!
From luxury styles like Richard Mille and Chanel
to G-SHOCK and Ultra styles
I'll show you how to customize and share my review
Stay tuned till the end of today's video!

Alright, first up! It's none other than
(Apple + Richard Mille) the "Apchard Mille"!
Do you guys know Richard Mille?
It's famous for being worn by celebrities like Choo Sung-hoon, G-Dragon, and Yang Hyun-suk.
Richard Mille is known for
its unique designs and use of cutting-edge materials
It's a high-end Swiss watch brand
Despite being established only in 2001
it's standing shoulder to shoulder with brands over 100 years old
I'm not a big fan of ranking watches, but
Just for your reference
In the watch hierarchy floating around the internet
It's positioned right below top-tier brands like Patek Philippe and Audemars Piguet
But Richard Mille's charm is its distinctive design
that you can spot from miles away
There are many cases of Apple Watches being customized to look like Richard Mille
They combine "Apple" and "Richard Mille"
to create "Apchard Mille"
and there are many specialized shops selling custom sets
The amazing thing is...
Golden Concept, a Swedish luxury Apple Watch case brand
has a case that costs 9.9 million won!
It's said to be set with over 400 colored sapphires, all done by hand
At this point, we can call it a luxury item, right?
Besides that, as I searched around
I found many different Apchard Mille products on the market
I bought an expensive one myself
and saw one my friend bought too
While there's surely a difference
I found that you can get satisfying products without breaking the bank
For the first Apple Watch custom
we have the Apchard Mille all-in-one case
I love vibrant looks and Richard Mille's orange is pretty, so
I chose the orange color
This product has way more color options compared to others
Having a wide range of choices is always a plus for any product
The supplies needed are really simple
All I need is the all-in-one case, and a driver
It's all in the box!
(Apple Watch 7 Nike Edition 45mm) Customization is simple
I'll untie it
Tighten
If you put it in, it's done!
To be honest with you..
It's a little harder than putting on a phone case
(Step 1 Attaching protective film) I'll teach you from step one
If you're going to put on a protective film, put it on in advance
It's hard to put it on after it's finished
Then remove the old strap and turn off the watch
It's because while you put it together, you have to touch the screen a lot
I touched it a lot without thinking while it was on
And it got locked for 15 minutes
How did I know?
(Don't ask.) I didn't want to know either
Step 2 is combining
Put a friction sticker on the crown
Put a silicone cover on the body
It prevents scratches on the body
And does the role of preventing separation
Next, put the watch into the case crown and assemble it
We're almost there
We have one last step left
Step 3 is putting it on
Cover the back and use the screwdriver for four parts
It's a structure connected to the front cog screw
It's easy to fall off
I put the screw on the other side first
If you press your finger and turn the screw
You don't have to worry about it falling off
Tada
Apchard Mille is complete!
This isn't an Apple Watch
Doesn't it look like a real watch~?
The material of the strap is fluorosilicon
It's a material used in aircraft seal called gasket
or for luxury watch parts
Even though it’s unlikely to happen!
This material is resistant to harsh environments and heat
It'll be durable, right?
I thought it'll be heavy because it's big
(The 500 won coin is 7.7g) About 15g so about two 500 won coins
I'm sure Apple Watch users know this
(Annoying sensor part) The sensor part that sticks out at the bottom is uncomfortable
It's good because it's flat with the case on
The stiff buckles
It was okay because it got softer after using it for about 2 weeks
The crown feels a bit loose, so
I had to mainly use the touch scroll, which was slightly inconvenient
Since it's not a full-cover case that protects the screen
I was a bit disappointed that I had to apply a separate screen protector
Still feels like something's missing, right?
First, let me show you how to set up the watch face!
There's a basic paid method
but it has limitations on design varieties
For those who want more diverse designs
You can use an app called Clockology
Step 1 is
to download and launch the app
Step 2 is
to go to the workspace and click the import button
Step 3 is
to choose one of the clock files you've downloaded
and Step 4 is
to run Clockology on your Apple Watch and press the sync button
Ta-da!
This is the Richard Mille watch face I downloaded earlier
Isn't it cool?
There are so many talented designers out there
so you can find watch faces through various channels
You can search and download from blogs
or join Naver Cafe "Design Watch"
Some case manufacturers provide them too
but personally, I recommend finding them on the cafe
because they have a wider variety of watch faces
Let me show you my Apchard Mille right away!
Did you all see it well?
I especially think
the skeleton design is really cool
Richard Mille has a strong masculine watch image
so I wasn't sure if it would suit me as a woman
but when I wore it,
people around me said it looked pretty
Everyone keeps asking what it is, so I feel like...
I've become a bit of an attention seeker?
For colors and materials, metal is good for capturing the original sense
but I think a transparent plastic-like case
with an active-looking orange strap
is actually better for daily wear
Now!
I've also brought some custom designs for female users
You might think that watches, being IT devices, are more popular among men
but these days, when you walk down the street
you see many women wearing watches too
My friends and I wear them a lot too
In fact, changing straps is a hobby for many women
I bet there's not a single woman who hasn't tried buying these straps!
There are various custom luxury women’s watch like Apchard Mille
but there is one brand that comes to mind when we think of women’s luxury watch
Chanel!
Two of the most popular watches they make
are J12 and Première
Among those, we will make
the square shaped one, Première
I prepared two Apple watches
because I will make two types of Première design
Première has different names depending on the type of the strap
One made only of steel chain is called “gourmette”
while one with leather wrapped around the steel chain is called “Iconic”
“Iconic” is the silver version of the watch that gained popularity from Jennie’s commercial
Now, we will start customizing
I purchased case and strap seperately
and you won’t need screw driver like you did with the Richard Mille design
In order to adjust the steel chain length
you will need a watch link removal tool
You can push connecting link out with the thin needle on your tool
Because the strap is unisex, it is long
So removing two links will fit most women
For the leather-steel chain, you don’t need the removal tool
You can adjust the length just like a bracelet
After adjusting, connect it to the body of the watch
Wipe down the screen and put the case on starting from the crown part
Here are two Chanel Première design
It looks like the original
so I think it is suitable for when you are meeting your friends..
instead of in formal occasions
Between these two design,
I like the “Iconic” design better
because I like Chanel’s leather strap
Just the steel metal also seems a bit boring.
Also, when I was working on the “gourmette” design earlier
I had some troubles removing the strap link with the removal tool
so I think making this design will be difficult for those with little strength
My tip is that it is easier to remove the link with the bottom of your finger, not your fingernail.
If you know any easier way of removing the link, let me know in the comments.
Next one is the G-Shock from Casio.
I prepared the 40mm Apple watch for this design.
While G-Shock is widely loved for its practicality,
it is also popular among sports watch as a fashion item
because of its retro design.
In a high school themed drama from 2008,
“Lovely Runner,”
there are scenes where students are wearing G-Shock
I looked up and found that there are
various G-Shock style Apple watch cases and straps.
Among those, I brought sporty
yet not too rugged one
I chose a white color
This case also comes in many different colors
for you to choose from based on your preference
You can assemble the watch just by pushing it into the strap
and if you select to display a watch face
it creates that retro vibe
You know that there were bottons on G-Shock
for setting a timer and an alarm!
You know that right?
However, this button doesn't work
(Made with TPU mateiral that's resistant to dirt) The strap is made with a TPU material that gets less dirt on it
but I wondered if they were really honest about it
but it's been going strong even after couple of wears
but it seems this is more suitable for light jogging than intense running
since it's a compact size with minimal area of protection
I heard that New Jeans wore this on stage
as well as on a Nike ad
How does it look?
You're saying I'm Old Jeans? Whatever
Last but not least!
We have an apple watch ultra custom
I personally liked the orange line of ultra as a focal point
but ended up not buying one due to it's huge size of 49mm
I did some research and thought it's better for me to customize
a 40mm one like an ultra
Ultra straps come in different ways
but I chose the orange ocean strap
which is a signature color
and a titanium gold casing that's similar to apple watch ultra
One thing to put attention to is
the titanium gold color is quite similar to starlight one
and you might end up confusiong them and order the wrong one
(Not at all) I’m not saying that I've done that
Anyways, the assembling itself is easy but there's more thing about this
There's an additional part that can give the signature crown of ultra
Ta-da
The ultra one doesn't have a default watch face
so I chose one instead
Doesn't this look similar to ultra?
There were some reviews saying the crown part falls off easily
I dropped it once
but there wasn't any scratches and the crown stayed intact
If you're like me who loves the ultra design
but doen't like the 49mm size
you can buy a smaller one and customize it for extra fun
I feel like I bought a new apple watch
Today we covered
Richard Mille
two from of Chanel
G-SHOCK and Ultra
I customized four types
How was it?
We look at smartwatches every day like cell phones, right?
I think it's a weekly pleasure to customize it
when you're tired of the design
If you've never customized before,
why don't you try it this time?
I did it for fun and it's just a hobby
There's no answer
I only need you
to enjoy this activity
That's it for today's video
