Spigen Rugged Armor Pro Designed for Apple Watch Band with Case for 42mm Series 3/2/1/Original (2015) - Black

Excellent quality. Has held up well and protected my watch nicely.

Would have been 5 stars except all the branding on the band. Do not need to see Hybrid polymer, shock resistant, rugged armor (that one ok that what’s it’s called) and definitely don’t need to see untra comfortable. Save all that for the packaging. Attach a photo of one of the markings there are 2 on the top and one on the other side of the band.

I had a bad experience with an early Apple Watch falling apart on me (the screens were known to pop off of many, for no apparent reason other than poor manufacturing, despite the hefty price tag!). So, I purchased this band as a means of protecting the watch that I used mainly for workouts. This Spigen product is a good-looking, comfortable band, and I would recommend it. It lasted a little over two years before it started breaking apart; its made of plastic and rubber, of course, so deterioration is to be expected. I am pleased that it did a great job of protecting my older Apple Watch.

Great solution for taking the apple watch into more risky situations. Case fits the apple watch series 3 exceedingly well with all cutouts lining up and the digital crown operates without any rubbing or obstruction issues that you sometimes run into with other cases out there. Band is fairly comfortable but the OEM apple ones are definitely more pliable. That being said, this band is comfortable for all-day wear and the security of an actual buckle provides a little more confidence when taking the apple watch (the series 3 waterproof one) into lakes and such. Ive bumped into a few shelves and other corners with this and definitely appreciated the extra protection already. If youre on the fence - I can say its well worth the small investment for what you get. Plus, being a G-shock person as well, this definitely upped the look of the watch into a more rugged profile.

I like a bigger and more rugged look to my watches, and the added protection is great too. This is exactly what I was looking for. Its not too big or bulky, its perfect. Would definitely recommend if youre a G-Shock type of person.

I really dig this band. It provides a nice amount of protection without feeling bulky. I use it as my every day watch and recently spent a week on the beach with my wife and didnt use my more rugged/waterproof band and this one held up nicely. I had it for a 38MM Apple Watch Series 1 and when I upgraded to this Series 3, it wasnt even a question, this was the watch band I needed.

This in an excellent band. The watch pops in easily and securely, and it looks great. I have had compliments from other Apple Watch wearers on the looks of this band. I am a clumsy oaf, and constantly bang my watch into things, like my desk, the door jamb, walls... so having a built in case is a huge plus for me.I wear my Apple Watch without fear of scratching it up or dinging it. Its lightweight, has a nice feel to it, and is very rugged. I looked at a couple of other similar bands on Amazon, but I have owned several Spigen cases for phones over the years, and they have always been great quality for a reasonable price. This band is the same.

Excelente para proteger el Apple Watch, durable y fuerte. Se ajusta a 42”

I use this with a Series 1 Apple Watch. The watch fits snug inside and the bands are comfortable. I like the look of this case and it keeps my watch protected. My only issue (an issue I am willing to deal with) is that dirt and dust can still get down to the watch. It’s not a totally air tight seal. I didn’t really expect it to be. It is however a “tight” seal, enough that the watch doesn’t move while it is in the case. If you do woodworking or gardening or anything having to do with dust or dirt, like I do, just know that you will have to remove the watch from the case and clean both items regularly, so you don’t damage or scratch the metal frame of the Apple Watch. Still a great value. Still a great protective case.

I work in a bar setting and already saw the potential to damage the screen; bumping my apple watch against a stainless steel counter or elsewhere. I’m used to wearing g shocks and although the shock protector on the Casio is deeper, this has done the job quite admirably. I wouldn’t subject the watch to the same abuse but I feel the band has helped preserve the unit. My only issue is the breathability of the band so if I wash my hands, which is often, I have to get under the band to dry. A little uncomfortable but not a deal breaker. Haven’t seen how sweat affects the band but I would assume if you wash it after exercise, it would be better. Update: Still holding up well. Don’t see damage from sweat or sanitizer. Had an issue with it causing a rash probably due to moisture and bacteria. This will happen with most bands regardless, just wash it well after sweating and make sure to wear it loose enough to allow some ventilation.
