Customers value the excellent protection and water resistance this case offers for their Apple Watch. Many appreciate the case's fit and ease of use, finding the touchscreen functionality remains sharp even with the added protection. However, some find the case bulky and the included band less comfortable than the original Apple Watch band. A few customers also noted the price point as a potential drawback.

Great Apple Watch Protection

This case is well worth the money if you want great protection for your Apple Watch. I was concerned that it did not come with an actual screen protector however, I have had this for a few months now and am quite impressed with its design for screen protection. It is slightly raised above the screen which provides unbelievable screen protection. I am equally as impressed with the water proof seal which works great for my Series 1. The most impressive feature I found was how well I could still hear sound as well as speak through the waterproof membrane. My only criticism is that occasionally the dial activates Siri if my hand is on a flat surface (i.e.; doing push-ups) which is due to its size. Otherwise it is comfortable and all elements of the Apple Watch work as though the they were designed.

Bought this item about a month ago for my iWatch series 1! So i can use it at work. Works great and has taken a few really good dings and held up! The only downfall is that it doesnt come with a screen protector!!!!

Case has done its job to protect my watch so far. It's a little bigger than I would have originally liked it to be but it protects my Apple Watch and that's what really matters. I purchased this case and another brand to compare the cases and this one was by far the best case for me and my Apple Watch. When it's on it doesn't feel as big or bulky, I actually can't tell it's there and forget that I have it on sometimes. I would recommend this to a friend for sure.

I am hard on watches and so far this has stood up to the test. I wish it has a built in screen protector and it would have gotten 5 stars. It looks and feels great and I do not have any issues with it. Glad it protects the watch from hits and water. Nice protection for the device. I do not have the issue of hitting the crown button on my wrist as others have described.

I work in a real active job environment. And this case was a great choice to protect my investment well. It fits comfortable keeps the water out and everything works as normal. Also looks great on the wrist. I would definitely recommend if you like heavy duty protection.

Awesome protection for the outdoorsman! This case for the Apple Watch makes it possible to wear it anywhere without having to take it off and potentially misplace it. I work on a farm and routinely had to take my watch off when I was working with the irrigation or anything with water. Twice I misplaced it and had to go looking. Now, I swim with my Apple Watch, and can shower with it on and not have to worry. Rugged and stylish THIS is the watch to get if you like to get your hands dirty

The only thing missing from my Apple Watch was it's not being waterproof. I searched the web for a case and found the Catalyst. It is fantastic. I was concerned that it would look too big on my wrist, but it's a perfect size. I have been swimming with it in the ocean and pool and it's perfect. I workout with it and sweat all over it. I have many bands for my Apple Watch but am using this case exclusively. All the functions work perfectly with the watch in this case.

I do like this case as its light, small and does protect my watch from bumps and water. However the band has broken twice by pulling off the case. The screen also clouds up a bit and does not show as clearly as just out of the box.

My Apple watch is nice and waterproof since installing into this case/watch band. I have used Catalyst products in the past for my iPhone, so I put my version 1 Apple watch into a safe environment. Have worn my watch in the shower and it's still going strong. So far so good. Watch band not as comfortable as the Apple watch band, but still pretty good. Looking forward to trying it out in a pool!

This is the best watch case I have ever tried for my Apple Watch. It is waterprof but for me the most important is that it protects my watch while I am working out side. I am on my second watch because the other one cracked while working outside. Since I started using this case I have not had a single problem. On top of that their customer service is excellent.

Great cover to protect the watch from daily use. Additionally it allows complete waterproof protection. Buttons are easy access and allow for watch adjustment easily. Charging is not a problem. It gives the appearance of a G-Shock watch. Main reason I purchased was to provide water protection but I enjoy the other protection qualities. Band is silicone and very comfortable.

I wish I had this on day one when I got my apple watch. Totally does a 360 protection. Not heavy, excellent design, total protection from all sides and yes it's waterproof. Having this feels like you got a new apple watch. I'm surely will buy this when it's time to upgrade my apple watch.

My wife bought me the 1st Apple watch when it came out. I could never really wear my watch at work for fear of damaging it with bumps and water(I own an Auto Repair shop). After reviewing the case I figured I would try it.
It is great, protects it from bumps and water as is states(Although I don't really swim with it) and I like having the ability to be able to use it at work(the watch comes in very handy).
It feels good and does not look too big. Straps are secure and feel good. It is a little difficult putting the case on and taking it off all the time and the plastic on the case itself is made out of bit cheaper material than that of a Gshock, but it does what it states and I can use it at work. That is all that matters for now. For the price, it is doable. I would buy it again.
