Spigen Rugged Armor Pro Designed for Apple Watch Band with Case for 42mm Series 3/2/1/Original (2015) - Black

My husband always wore a silicone band with a bumper, but lost the bumper on a few occasions. When he lost it for good, we purchased this band and he LOVES it. It’s very masculine without a tremendous amount of bulk. He says it’s comfortable to wear and it really looks nice on

I use this with a Series 1 Apple Watch. The watch fits snug inside and the bands are comfortable. I like the look of this case and it keeps my watch protected. My only issue (an issue I am willing to deal with) is that dirt and dust can still get down to the watch. It’s not a totally air tight seal. I didn’t really expect it to be. It is however a “tight” seal, enough that the watch doesn’t move while it is in the case. If you do woodworking or gardening or anything having to do with dust or dirt, like I do, just know that you will have to remove the watch from the case and clean both items regularly, so you don’t damage or scratch the metal frame of the Apple Watch. Still a great value. Still a great protective case.

Comfort wise, the band is fine. I do find frustration with the loop always sliding down and the band popping out. You will have a challenge figuring out how to get the watch to rest on the charge dock (because of the rigidity of the bands). A simple work around is to elevate the charge dock on the edge of a tissue box (for example) so that the bands can drape the sides of the box (lower than the charge dock). The durability... as far as the finish, I was surprised that over spray from Repel mosquito repellent ruined the watch band matte finish (leaving it permanently blotched and unsightly. There’s nothing short of chemical etching that I haven’t tried to “clean” the band from the Repel spray. See pictures. So disappointed because the band looks so trashy now. Worse is, despite the name Rugged Armor, the band / case is not rugged. Do not fool yourself into thinking the band is durable. The Achilles heel of the whole design is the very think plastic above and below the wheel. It will break and on mine has broken. Ive not had my case very long at all. HIGHLY disappointed and a complete waste of my time and money. Its products like this that annoy me (as if the designer / producer just ignores these obvious defects). Despite paying less than $20, I feel suckered and fooled. This is nothing more than just a look of rugged. It is all show and absolutely does not pass.

Very comfortable to wear and durable. The only thing is the item doesn’t come with any protective covering for the watch face. I got a film to put over the watch face, and haven’t had any issues.

Really rigid. Good protection around watch. But was a bit disappointed it didnt include any kind of screen protection

I am using the 44mm charcoal grey version of this band. I’m an auto mechanic and I was worried about destroying my new Apple Watch, but this band has held up well! My watch is still perfect after a couple of months of use. I think the grey looks awesome also!

I love this product. I bought the first Spigen Rugged 42mm Apple Watch Band for my Apple Watch Series 3 about a year ago. This new band is soooo much easier to put on and is just as comfortable. The ports on my Apple Watch now line up perfectly with the holes on the new watch band. Its unibody build reminds me of my G-Shock watch (which I was wearing before I bought my Apple Watch Series 3). It looks rugged, sleek, and the watch band material is top-notch. Quality is definitely present in this product. Definitely worth the money.

I bought this to replace an older band that was similar. The band itself looks durable, it does not look bulky, it is a great everyday look. I was expecting for the band to have a face cover like other similar styles. So it makes it a bit less useful when dealing with handy work and water activities that risk bumping the glass or filling with water. Will probably keep it for other occasions, but I do not think it will be reliable other than casual wear.

i got a new apple watch for Christmas. i bang my watch on stuff all the time so i quickly researched and found this watch band. i have a Spigen rugged armor phone case which has saved my phone many times so i knew this would be great. Spigen delivers again. it not only looks great but its 10x better than the factory watch band and it protects the face at the same time. well worth the money.

Amazing
