Great Protection for my Apple Watch
I recently bought my first Apple Watch (series 3) from Amazon and love it. I was worried however that being a glass face I may accidentally break it. I looked into Apple Care and that would cost be $120 it I needed to replace the watch ($50 for Apple Care and $70 replacement fee). The watch only costs me $169 so that didn't seem to make a lot of sense. I looked into some cases but since I use it for lap swimming that wasn't going to work either (the water can get into the case) so I decided to get this bumper. I both swim and mountain bike with my Apple Watch so the chances of breakage against the side of the pool doing back stroke or as I'm flying off my mountain bike seemed pretty high.I received the bumper a couple of days ago. I must admit that I had a rather difficult time putting it on the watch face but once I did it worked, looked, and felt great. It provides protection not only around the edges but also for the face since the bumper is slightly raised above the face of the watch. It fits perfectly around the watch face and doesn't get in the way of any of the buttons. I have now tried it swimming and biking with it with no problem and no interference with the heart rate monitor or other metrics. The bumper also does not get in the way when I am charging it at night. Lastly, it blends in perfectly with my black sports band that came with the watch so it looks like it's all one piece. I can now do all my activities with my Apple Watch without being afraid of breaking it. I highly recommend this product.

3 years and counting
I have been using this bumper on my watch for 3 years. It has been on my watch case the entire time, survived multiple home improvement projects and has protected my watch very well the entire time. The bumper aligns well with the buttons, microphone, and speaker on the watch case.My bumper is a tiny bit scuffed in places now, but this is due to my own carelessness and not a reflection on the bumper itself. The material has held up very well. It has not torn or cracked anywhere and also hasn’t become brittle or gummy; I have noticed no degradation whatsoever in the durability or flexibility of the material.I use a curved screen protector to cover the entire face of the watch. The bumper is a little tricky to put on the watch case over this type of screen protector. The trick is to get your fingernails under the bumper and pull it over the last 2 corners of the screen protector—otherwise it might get caught and pull the corners up.I would definitely buy this again, but even after 3 years, I have no reason to!

So far, so good..
Despite the mixed reviews I purchased this to replace the previous 4 year old bumper I had. This is a great, no frills bumper. Looks clean and does what it’s supposed to. It’s a little snug getting on and off, but fits well.I have sensitive skin and haven’t had any kind of irritation or adverse reactions. I only take my watch off while charging, cleaning the watch and showering.Greta for the price. Would recommend!

Good
It can be hard to get off but it protects from impact pretty well. Pairs well with a screen protector.

Great functionality at a low cost
After shattering my watch screen, I immediately purchased a protector that enclosed the whole watch face. In theory, it was a good idea, but water was consistently getting trapped rendering the touch function useless. I purchased this bumper worried that it wouldn’t offer enough protection. I’m happy to say, I’ve had it for over a year and still have 0 scratches on screen. I have since purchased 2 more of these for other watches in the household. Great product and a low cost

Would recommend!
I’m really glad I found these cases. I had previously bought some stick on screen protectors for the screen and used a flexible case that snapped on over the back and sides to protect my watch. Unfortunately the protector was curved and due to where the case sat, the screen protector kept rolling up on the edges. This case snaps over the front and has a built in screen protector. It’s perfect. It protects from if you hit your watch (lightly) on a counter or car door or anything and also protects the screen. It covers the front and sides. I haven’t had moisture build up in between the watch and screen cover as some reviews mentioned, but I have had dust get in there. It collected a little bit at the bottom over a period of a few weeks. It’s easy enough to take the bands and then the whole case off and clean it up quickly though.

Great product, but hard to charge
While this product is great at protecting my watch, it’s very difficult to get the watch to charge while in the case. I’ve tried to alter the product with an exacto knife, but had a very hard time and gave up on the idea. I now have to remove my watch from the case everytime it needs to charge. That’s the only drawback to this case.

Looks good but interferes with charging
Looks cool, fits and works just fine. The only problem is that for some reason it interferes with the standard charger. You have to set it at just the right position to get it to charge. I’d honestly suggest a different case that doesn’t have this issue because it is frustrating to find out your watch didn’t charge all night
