URBAN ARMOR GEAR UAG Compatible with Apple Watch Band Case 45mm for iWatch Series 9/8/7 Scout Plus Soft Touch Adjustable Replacement Strap

I broke my original watch a week after buying it because it just had a screen protector now I’ve had this for a couple months and it works great protect my watch from the sides and top for some reason Apple Watch is a quite fragile made from aluminum and glass but this is great. I work in construction.

I use my Apple Watch Series 7 (45mm) for counting laps every morning. I've tried various protective cases for over a year, and this UAG case seems to provide the best screen protection with its raised lip (approx 1.5mm). I feel pretty confident that the screen will be protected if I overreach on a bckstroke and hit the wall accidentally with the watch.Overall strip length is long, so I'm using the shortest hole which works fine. The strap appears to be made from flexible while sturdy TPU material.Overall, 5 star recommended product.

well made, fits great, really like the band!

Very sturdy and well-built watch band for my Apple Watch SE - fit snug. The band is not flexible in any way - I wish there were at least some joints - hinges - at each side of the watch band where the band meets the opening for the watch.Long-term I have some worries about the durability of the watch band. The hole for the watch stem is very thin - fragile - the side button you can depress near the stem is also very flimsy.Watch band feels good when you wear it. It is easy to put the watch on and off. Has a lot of protection - especially for the opening for the watch itself.

I got this through Amazon vine for review so that being said I don’t think I’d pay full price for it.However, it’s a good band. It fits my large wrist comfortably, in fact it’s more comfortable than I imagined. It reminds me of a g shock because it increases the soze of the watch a bit. I do wish it made the side button harder to press. I’ll bend my wrist and it will either activate Siri or bring it to the power down screen. Very annoying.

So it will protect your Apple Watch but I expected more from UAG. I have used their products before and they were always pretty good. It seems like this one was an afterthought.Pros:It will protect your watch.Fits perfectly and stays snug.The color is nice.Cons:The band is not flexible at all. (Stiff as a board.)The watch does not seem finished as the seems are not smooth. (See pictures)The band is so thin. I have compared the thickness to a band less than half the price of the UAG band.Overall, it’s a nice band but not at this price point.
