    I know that this case is big, but it does the job in protecting my $479.00 apple watch series 3... i really recommend to get a screen protector other than that the case does a really good job.... BTW: I work as a mechanic and grease, oil and rough is easily handle with this case!!!

    I know the Apple Watch is suppose to be “water resistant” but I have trust issues. I am a big guy and am not afraid of big bulky watches, after all I had a g-shock for years. I feel very comfortable wearing my watch in the shower AND swimming. The only downside is that the protective material for the heart rate monitor doesn’t ALWAYS let it charge. If it gets bumped JUST RIGHT it may quit charging, BUT it is very infrequent for me. I really hesitated to buy the Catalyst because of the price. I even bought a “knockoff” from amazon that WOULD NOT charge properly AT ALL. Finally did buy it and am glad I did. I am not sure if it’s worth $70, but I did buy it...so it must be worth $70

    I used the Catalyst band on an Apple Watch 3. It provides great impact and movement protection. I find it comfortable enough during intensive sports activities that involve sprinting, jumping, and lifting. I am very satisfied and confident in the protection this watchband + case provides. However, I did have to replace the case screw with another eyeglass screw when it became too loose.

    Excellent band to ensure a watertight device. After an exhaustive search on the Internet and reading many reviews. I decided to go with the catalyst because of its strong design and stylish look. So far it has not disappointed me. And as many holes in the band they make it easy to size up.

    I’m rough on watches so when I bought my iWatch (3rdGen) this case was a no brainer for me. I spend a lot of time outdoors fishing and also do a lot of hands on type of work so I needed something to protect my investment. This case is awesome. No leaks, I’ve banged it on edges of work benches, Outboard motors, my dog has mouthed it, and not even a scratch. It still allows you all controls of the watch and adds additional peace of mind so for a guy like me I wouldn’t go a day without it. And the band has a keeper with a key so you don’t have to worry about it continuously popping out and having to tuck it back in which is really great. Finally a company with common sense.

    Looks and feels good. I have now found cheaper ones on Amazon but I can't attest to their quality. I enjoy the case and it helps protect the watch since I do everything in it.

    I was steered to this item by the Best Buy employee who told me this was the most durable Apple Watch case they had and that it would protect the watch as well or better than anything else on the market. Within a month the case had developed a crack and over the past weekend I was shaking the water off my hands after washing them and the watch flew off my wrist - the case now broken into two pieces. This was a very expensive case and I am extremely disappointed in my decision to purchase it. I would not recommend this item to anyone who actually needs a protective case.

    I bought this in December '17. It is now May '18 and the bands are already worn and the little band loop is about to break. Sometimes the wheel on the side feels like its stuck or grinding. Overall, this band is very comfortable but I have to replace it already. Prior to getting an Apple Watch for Christmas, I had worn G-shocks every day for almost 7 years and never has this issue. Annoying.
