Welding and metal work. I do a lot of grinding and there’s always general metal dust about. I also wear an Apple Watch and the speakers are totally full of rust and the mic doesn’t work!

Apple may replace the apple watch for free, but it depends on how you tell them about the damage. Only reason they would end up replacing it for free is if it is in warranty, and you just tell them you don't know why the microphone died lol

Well it’s in quite poor condition tbh, screen scratched all over, and it’s about 4 years old! I’d love an ultra, but would get ruined in my job. My current series 4 works fine though, apart from said issues!

The Ultra's Sapphire glass should scratch less than your series 4 (unless you are using a n S4 with sapphire glass already)
But, it is more prone to shattering. The raised lip and flat glass helps with this, and the speakers are much bigger, too. Don't know if the Microphone would hold up though, I don't work where my watch is exposed to fine metal particles. Guess I should consider myself lucky lol

They do have screen protectors for camera now, watches also. That’s will fix this issue I would think.

Yeah I’ve used them, but they break easily

Still daily my S4, got no intention to upgrade unless it dies.

my dad is an ornamental welder and I got him one of those dust proof otterbox cases and it works super well. Back when we used flip phones, he would go through them pretty often because that metal dust absolutely fucks up anything with a magnet. Anyway, I would consider getting one of those if you dont already have one.

I’ll look one up now. Thanks for the advice!

Careful about speaker and mic they all work with magnets i also work at metal work all the time speakers reduce performance after almost a year

I think I’ll need to buy a case which covers the whole phone completely. Problem is I’ve had cases like this before and then you can’t hear the phone ring.

Take high pressure air and blow out charge port and speakers. I thought my speakers were dying and charge port broken but it was just Metall powder stuck everywhere from work
