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

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 recommend this watch band case combo. If you are looking for a military look to give to your Apple Watch, this is it. It’s a stealthy and I love the fact that the faster has a nob that locks into the band so that it doesn’t move. I am overall satisfied with this product, so much that I ordered it in black and it’s on its way as I type this review. I will do an unboxing if the black one when I get it. This product made me feel like I had a new watch on my wrist. 5 stars!

My fiancé loves this watch band! I’d previously bought him this same band in black, and it lasted about two years with daily use before it started coming apart a bit on one of the straps. He was so happy with the first one that I just had to get another. Really great product for the price.

Looks a bit bulky which OK as I had expected it. Feels bit harder than the soft Apple band. Main difference is when dust or water gets collected on the dial. It goes to the side and settles there just like a iPhone case. You may feel bit tough to operate the watch buttons and get used to it later. Its safe that there will be no more scratches if I accidentally hit a wall or my car door near the watch end. Serves its purpose very neat.

I wear many different watches. Mostly just G-Shocks or diver style watches. I must say this is one of the most uncomfortable watch band Ive ever worn! I knew the watch band felt uncomfortable to wear right off the bat, but I decided to kept it on for about another 6 hours or so and besides the comfort being terrible the marks it left on my wrist near the bone on top was really something Ive never witnessed before. Im not sure if its because the band is very stiff and the frame that wraps around the head of the watch is super stiff and also has very sharp edges that surround the sides of the watch head and a very sharp line around the crown guards. To me its the crown area that digs into my wrist. If I look down my arm it doesnt really fit flush on my wrist and I can see areas wheres theres zero contact from the band to my skin on the 12 Oclock side. The band also rides up on my wrist to the pinky side of my hand. I even turned the band around so the crown was on the opposite side, although felt better the band is just not comfortable. Im going to try and boil the band in hot water to try and see if I can get a better fit but Im not going to hold out much hope. Im super surprised by the amount of positive reviews on comfort. I just dont see the comfort at all. Maybe its just my average sized wrist? Believe me Im super bummed as I wanted this to work badly!

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.

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.

Had this band for one month exactly and it broke. I love the durability and the look. You can get your Apple Watch in the band very easily. Would not consider buying it again because it broke on me so quickly. UPDATE! Contacted Spigen about the warranty and they shipped me out a new one very quickly! The new case is holding up well!

This spigen apple watch case/band combo is by far the best rugged looking and feel on the market that I have had. Some other products out there are flimsy and feels as well as looks cheaply made. Digital crown has free movement and button is extremely responsive and has a tactile feel to it. Cut outs are perfect as well. What I mostly like about it is that the entire bottom is open so sweat is not easily trapped during workouts and is simple to clean. Spigen knocked it out the park with this combo. You can feel the quality. Well worth the price. If the band ever breaks like most normal athletic watch bands do over time, I will be buying a replacement. Great Job Spigen!! Would highly recommend if you are looking to get this case band combo. Skip everything else.

My husband loved this watchband as he had an active job and this provided some shock protection to the edges of his Apple Watch. It also is a good blend between the sleek Apple design and a rugged GShock that he had prior. Only downside is it does tend to cause him to sweat and hold in moisture in the band.
