Lunatik ‘Epik’ Turns Apple Watch into a Rugged Wearable [Kickstarter]

A new Kickstarter campaign by the name of ‘Epik’ is a ruggedly refined, precision engineered case and strap for the 42mm Apple Watch. Developed by LUNATIK (well known for their iOS cases and accessories), Epik is an ideal companion for Apple Watch owners with highly active and adventurous lifestyles, featuring a functional design and durable materials of outdoor gear, that makes the Watch “ready for anything”.

Epik has been designed by Scott Wilson, former Global Creative Director of Nike’s watch and technology division, who is also a recipient of the Smithsonian’s prestigious National Design Award. Forged from aluminum alloy and premium performance materials, Epik can transform any 42mm Apple Watch into a high tech gear that is as comfortable in the boardroom as it is on a mountaintop.

“Epik’s rugged case encloses and protects the Apple Watch’s more sensitive and delicate areas. The premium, anti-dust and dirt coated silicone sport strap or aluminum link bracelet with silicone sub-links and butterfly clasp, are designed for long term comfort and durability, even through your toughest workouts. Epik’s highly tactile Active-Control Crown couples seamlessly with Apple’s Digital Crown to enhance grip, making interaction with your apps more efficient in highly active moments.”

The campaign has already raised nearly 70% of its pledged goal of $100,000 with over a month still to go. To find out more and make a pledge, hit up the Kickstarter page at this link.
