Customers are saying

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.

    Cheap Product

    The Catalyst case is really a cheap quality product and I would strongly not recommend it, especially for the price. Upon arrival, the case "crown" that goes over the "digital crown" did not line up at all even after several tries. To get it to work, I really had to push down hard on the "crown" to move it. Even then, I lost functionality of the button. This meant I couldn't return to the home screen anymore without going through a more difficult route. After wearing the case a few times, a thin portion of plastic on the case snapped and it completely came apart. I wasn't going to return it before because of the hassle, but now I'm definitely returning it since the cheap thing broke on me from just normal use.

    Im not satisfied with this product. Its expensive and sort of a pain to install. The watch sits in a bit crooked which makes it look cheap. Check out reviews before buying this because its honestly not worth the price.

    I needed a waterproof watch case because I'm a competitive swimmer. The information pamphlet stated that it shouldn't be submerged in pool water, so I had to return it. It'll be a good buy for someone who lives in a rainy climate or something like that, though.

    The case seemed to be rugged and what not but after I put the case on I could tell it didn’t fit very well inside the case, and still left the screen unprotected. Had I’ve known that I don’t believe I’d have spent that much money on it.

    This is a great case for the Apple Watch "in theory" it's easy to get on the watch however once it's on the crown dial does not function properly rendering it useless

    This product is very tight on the Apple Watch and is difficult to apply by yourself. Overall the product is comfortable to wear.

    Too expensive for a case that broke after being dropped 5 feet onto a concrete floor from a desk. Complete waste of money.

    I purchased the watch band under the guise that it was a higher level of protection, but this was not true , the bezel cracked while in normal use and this was within 26 days of purchase so please if you purchase this watch protection band please purchase the Best Buy protection program also....... I did not and now I'm stuck with a 50 dollar bad purchase.☹️
