I'm picky about my watch bands so when I got this one, I was surprised at how comfortable it was. The design also give me assurances that my watch is safe. I liked it so much that I bought my wife one.

This watch band is comfortable and feels decently sturdy, I am not worried about band breaking as other reviews have stated. The thing that I find poor in the design is that asa one piece design, you have to push the Apple Watch through the back to get it in the case- no matter how careful you are about doing so, the screen protector will come loose in a corner. I tried with a glass screen protector and it was peeled completely off of the watch, I attempted again with a plastic/rubber screen protector and the corners came up. Once the watch is in, it is snug and the band is fine- but a two piece design would avoid the screen protector issue.

Great watch band. Easy to clean, very durable. Only gripe is the strap holder tends to slide up from time to time. Nothing I cant look past.

Just bought this watch case/band and it's perfect. I had a Catalyst and Epik Lunatik previously but this one is far superior. The prevu=ious cases I mentioned are waterproof but with the newer watches that's not necessary as they're already water resistant up to 50 meters. This case isn't bulky and it doesn't interfere with the built in speakers or microphone when making calls. Highly recommended.

UPS disapproval but military savvy... the wrist band ripped after one week delivering / working with it. Army buddies like the bulky look and Army work does nothing to it. uPS work destroys this wristband.

It’s tough and does protect the iwatch but wish it was a bit more sportier, the band that holds the slack broke after a month but still protects the watch

I love this rugged watch band to protect my watch. Very durable considering my job my only problem is there’s no screen protector on it. And I can’t find a watch band that has one built into. I don’t understand how any company doesn’t have some sort of face protector built into the watch band itself. Oh well still an amazing product and I’m happy nonetheless

After owning 3 of the case logic bands, and having them repeatedly fail, I decided to try a different rugged Apple Watch case. The Rugged Watch Strap from Best Buy has held up well and looks good. It is not waterproof, but is a great case/band.

This is a perfect protector for my Apple Watch. It neatly fits around the model and the straps are fit perfect. My only dislike is I thought the plastic material looks a tad cheap. Overall I do like and haven't found a suitable replacement for it.
