Spigen Rugged Armor Pro Designed for Apple Watch Case with Band Series SE3/9/8/SE2/7/6/SE/5/4 45mm/44mm Protective TPU Cover with Strap

This is the best band and case combo that I could have hoped for. First off, this little sucker is TOUGH. I work in an industrial environment, and this beauty has held up much more than I expected. The only downside is that the design allows the device to move around just enough to let small particles to fall in, leaving my watch to end up with some small chips in the finish, but nothing that effects use. It’s very comfortable, has a great look, and overall is just probably the best accessory that you could get for your Apple Watch. If you’re a fan of the G-Shock styling, you’ll dig this unibody band/case combo. Be careful if you use a screen protector though. The tolerances on the case are tight enough that it might cause peeling up of the edges. I personally had issues with the IQ Shield protectors. Might work if you used products suited for the 40mm watch. Pros: - Wide range of fitment. Be wary if you have smaller wrists. - Great style (Love the Military Green) - Protects device from shock - Pretty easy to install Cons: - Just enough device movement to allow small particles (metal chips/abrasive material) to fall in. - Could do without the simulated carbon fiber accents on the outside of the band (Just don’t like the look, but YMMV. - Doesn’t work that well with TPU screen protectors for the 44mm watch. Had bad peeling at the edges even with IQ Shield protectors. Overall, I think that if you need a simple yet tough case/band for your Apple Watch, you can’t really go wrong. I can’t see myself changing to a regular band. If you like the G-Shock design and durability, order this ASAP.

Great band and case. I will say if you have a normal sized wrist the band will probably wrap around it. This is a large band. Has a great fill and love the way the hold down band locks into place.

The case was easy to install on my Apple Watch 9. My watch feels protected and fits perfectly in the case. I enjoy the appearance of the case and feel it’s stylish and durable. I got it in color black and really like the look of it. Throughout the day of wearing the watch from the gym to work, the watch/case is computable and breathable. I have no issues removing the watch to be able to clean my watch and case. I would certainly recommend this to others.

Received this band a little over a week ago and have gone back and forth on how I feel about it. When it arrived I was excited to try it out right away based off all of the positive reviews, but admittedly, I was slightly disappointed. The band you get seems like a close knock-off based on the pictures - it looks really similar but just seems...off, in a way. Disregarding the disappointing "excitement" of unboxing it, I popped my Apple watch in the case. It seems like it's made of durable rubber, but was a little skeptical with how easily it just went into the casing, but so far so good with it! I still find myself "babying" it a little because while it seems secure, the rubber gives off the impression that it'll wear and stretch out causing the watch to come loose and fall out (or I could just be extra paranoid, who knows?). Onto the rest of the band, it is single piece construction which is both good and bad. Good in that it provides security to it all, no worrying about if one of the watch bands will come "unclicked" causing the watch to fall off, but bad in that if any part of the band does break or become defective the whole band is done for. Additionally, the buckle itself feels kind of like barely above average plastic. I promise this isn't a full-on negative review though! My experience with it in the very short-term has been good. It's done its main job in being a band for my watch and given it a little more girth and the appearance of it being protected. It hasn't faced any run-ins of being hit against a wall or dropped, so I can't speak to the overall protective measures, but it's nice to know I can really "feel" it when I wear it. I love Spigen and use their phone case for my iPhone and it feels well-made and well-constructed, so I guess overall the band itself left me a little wary and slightly disappointed and I don't feel completely trusting that it will truly protect my watch. I am still not sold or sure of the long-term durability or composition of the watch band that comes with continued use and age. All-in-all if you're just looking for a change to the click-in watch bands that you get with an Apple watch, this is one to take a good look at in considering.

As expected, Spigen delivered a very solid protective watch band and case. Good price for this.

I’ve had a handful of different bands over the years but this one is hands down my favorite! It holds the watch much better yet is easy to install and seems significantly more durable. The band looks thick but is surprisingly soft and flexible. Much easier to clean than others I’ve had. Spigen has definitely come through on this one.

My husband loves this band. Makes his apple watch look and feel more like a nice classic watch.

The only thing I disliked about the product is the hardness of the plastic it's made from, but unfortunately this is something you'd have to compromise on since the material is designed specifically for rugged use. I work as an engineer on a paper mill and I honestly don't have time to be concerned about bumps and scratches, I need the glass protected as best as possible without being too much of a nuisance to my watch interaction. I've been wearing it for a month and it hasn't faulted once. That being said, the raised lip around the screen is one of the reasons I went with this case. The bumper also protects the crown, but since the crown is now protected on the top and bottom, the only useable scrolling area is the top facing you, an annoyance, but still, I'd rather that than the cost of snapping off the crown in the event I manage to hook onto something while working. All in all, this is the best compromise on heavy duty and style case I've owned for my Apple watch. I would recommend to anyone looking to keep it minimal without losing too much protection.
