    This case fits the watch perfectly. Provides great protection and access to the buttons. The only issue I had was the little slider that holds the end of the band in place broke after the first week. The watch can not be worn without this piece as the band just hangs and catches on everything.

    Good watch band, weak retainer

    The watch band is great but the retainer that holds the band when wearing is weak. If the retainer was as heavy as the watch band it would be perfect. My retainer broke after two weeks and I bought another cheap watch band that had a retainer that I could replace the broke retainer with.

    Working at an under construction nuclear plant in the document control area. Spend a lot of time pulling and filing large binders. This band has been an excellent way to protect my Apple Watch. I have a very small wrist so I have it in the very last (or first depending on where you start counting) holes. It fits my small wrist well. It is a good bit larger than the regular bands but I don’t mind it because of the overall protection and being on a construction sight it fits right in. I don’t have to worry about bumping my screen on anything. Would definitely recommend this if you need serious protection.

    This looked like a good watch band for my Apple Watch but it didn’t last, tore within 6 months. Thought it would last longer. Was good while it lasted.

    It is not bad. For the watch well. It is good if you want to hide the color of the watch you have.

    Bought this for my boyfriend who takes care of everything and anything. Within 2 days of wearing the band, the strap that holds the band tore. We went to exchange it for another one and it tore again. We just gave up on it.

    I like the concept of this but a week after having this the part that you stick the extra band through broke. Now it can’t be worn due to nothing to hold the band together after you buckle it

    I bought this for $20+ dollars and was very disappointed with the matierl and how it fit on my arm. Very uncomfortable and breaks very easily. Id say it gives no real protection

    I took my first one back because the part that holds the strap broke so I got a replacement band and the same piece broke again after a couple of weeks. I gave it a second chance but it was not worth it. Now I’m goin back to return for a refund. For $39.99 I thought it would be better quality. I would not recommend this especially due to price for something made so cheap. Also the part that protects the watch broke on the first one as well. I can’t give no stars to bad! Come on Best Buy you can do better than this!

    The little strap that holds the band down broke within the first few days. Not rugged in that respect.
