Why do smartwatches use ceramic?
Ceramic is a popular material for high-end smartwatches, like the new Apple Watch Ultra 4, because it's incredibly durable and scratch-resistant, much harder than stainless steel. It also feels smooth against the skin and is hypoallergenic, making it comfortable for continuous wear. Plus, it allows for strong wireless signal transmission, which is vital for connectivity.
