This is a great protective case for the Apple Watch. If you are active or work in a harsh environment it protects the watch well.

Great Case for my new apple watch. It fits really well. Not as durable as a Casio G-Shock watch.

Good waterproof case as well as bands, case for my series 1 iWatch. I've used my watch in a hot tub and had no problems. Easy to use all of the buttons as well.

Defective case and horrible customer service

I typically do not write strong reviews, but in this case I had such a poor experience with this watch case (and company) that I felt compelled to. I bought this case due to being one of the only cases that makes the first generation Apple Watch waterproof, and the fact that it got decent reviews.
For the first 2 months I had the case I had no issues with it, and thought it was going to do the trick for me. A few things to keep in mind;
-I was very careful with the case, it was never mishandled, dropped, etc.
-I followed the directions exactly, did not over tighten the back, etc.
-I only put the watch in the case once, and left it in the case the entire time I had it
A few days ago I put the watch on my wrist and the back broke (see pictures for details). Since there was nothing wrong with the case, and I was only putting it on, something was obviously wrong with the case.
I read the warranty and the product has a 1-year warranty. I contacted the company and they replied quickly. They advised that the warranty only ensures the case is ‘free of material workmanship’ and that since they test every product that it must have been improperly used. If you follow this logic, then none of their cases would ever be covered under warranty. They would not replace it and only offered me a discount if I purchased another product.
If they would have honored their warranty, I would have given them another chance and gave them a decent review. However, considering the case…
-cost top $
-only lasted 2 months
-was never misused
-was still under warranty and the company would not honor
I will never buy something from them again, and advise anyone that is considering buying this to only consider if they don’t mind paying top $ for a case that could have the same issue and obviously the company does not honor their agreements.

This is the most protective band I’ve found so far. However the series 1 doesn’t fit the series 3 watch that great

While it’s a little on the bulky side, it does exactly what they claim. Protects the watch case from nicks and bumps and seals it in from the water. Have swam with it and had no issues.

I feel that the Catalyst case will provide the protection I need for my Apple Watch Series 1. Water and impact.

I was worried about my Apple Watch for drops, dings, and water. This case definitely put my worry away especially being fully waterproof! (Of course to a certain depth) Other than that, it's a bit bulky but not much as it still offers that sleek style!

This case is awesome!! It doesn't add too much bulk. But it protects the watch pretty well. The bad is very comfortable and it doesn't get in the way at all.

I had the unfortunate event of dropping my watch and having the screen crack. When I got the watch replaced I was looking for a case that could protect it from falls. It's a bonus that it's water proof to a certain exten but I'm not a Diver or anything like that so it's more of a plus

While looking for an iWatch guard I found the Catalyst iWatch case for my 1st generation 42MM watch. The Catalyst not only protects my watch but keeps water out. I didn’t have to remove my watch while swimming while my iWatch was in the Catalyst case. It works for me it’s great!

I first had the Lunitik case, but it was somewhat bulky. I was hesitant to get this because it was priced a little more, but after reading reviews and looking at a friends I got it, and absolutely love it. I would like to see Best Buy cary more color options though, which they do make.
