Catalyst - Protective Waterproof Case for Apple Watch™ 44mm - Space Gray

I got this case for my watch because I am an educator and I banged up my first Apple Watch during daily activities at my job and gym life. I reviewed a lot of cases and wanted complete protection and functionality (especially with the side knob). This watch is it. The only con I have is when i need to use any the watch face near the top (I.e., leaving messages to return to the Home Screen, it gets kind of tricky!

This is definitely a great case if you have a more rugged work environment like I have. Overall I give it 4.5 stars because it doesn’t have a built in screen protector which seems that it could easily be Integrated in the silicon jacket but I’m no engineer lol. Also, you can’t use the ecg feature but that’s not why I bought the watch in the first place and never use it. The band is nice and soft, stays in place and even comes with the small screwdriver to install the outer shell. Kinda pricey but definitely the best cast for the series 4 that I’ve came across. I’d recommend it for sure

So you shelled out $400 for a gadget that sits on your wrist and tells you the time. Better encase that expensive computer in a water proof shell that says will protect it from the elements. It’s noticed that the factory watch itself is waterproof, but are those “apple geniuses” really going to believe you when you take it in for repair and “turn it off and on again” doesn’t work? Take my word for it, this watch is as fragile as it’s “glass backed” phones. Put it in a case, your anxiety will thank you later.

I’ve bought a few supposedly water proof/ water resistant cases for my Apple Watch in the past only to have them disappoint time and time again. But with this case it’s held up to the abuse I’ve put it through so far. It has an internal silicone casing that protects the actual watch itself, the rugged external case provides a secure airtight fit when place around the silicone casing. Even when in the casing the watch charges as it normally would and pretty much functions like it would if it was out of its protective casing. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is outside on a regular basis or near or around a lot of water. Great product.

Has been a great watch case, but today 01/03/2021 it cracked. This is the first and only problem I have had.

This product survived a motorcycle crash. I flew off my bike today with it on and it protected my watch. I would highly recommend.

The sale associated that was helping me told me that this is compatible with 45mm Apple Watch which it did not. My brand new Apple Watch was pretty stuck in there and too a lot of effort to remove it out…I have to use tool to get it to open which caused damage to the Watch paint. It was really unprofessional and thoughtless of this sale associated to recommended an item that isn’t compatible. Now I have an scratched Apple Watch and a useless case. The case itself is great quality but Doesn’t fit 45mm Apple Watch.

I know there’s lot of other products out there that claim to protect you watch but I owned another Apple Watch and decided I’d upgrade. I had that watch in a Catalyst as well. When I took it out and clean it it was literally just like new. I sold it to a co-worker And the day I took it to him others at my work were offering me money for it. When I finally got my upgrade to a 4 I went with the same brand case knowing all I can throw at it and I know this case will work for the years just like my last one did.
