    I love my Apple Watch, but not how small the 42mm is on wrist. Catalyst solved my issue with their watch case and band!

    Case is nice, but it’s a little too big. Don’t like the fact that the screen is still exposed while the rest of the watch is protected. Wrist band seems to be a bit sticky and likes to attract dirt and dust.

    This is the second case that I purchased. The other one lasted 3 years before it cracked. It saved my Apple Watch more than once. I work in an industrial environment and play hard after work. If it weren’t for the protection provided by the catalyst, I could not wear my watch every day.

    I do a lot of outdoor work around our house with gardening and tree trimming. I've had other screen protectors in the past and shattered them. All did as they stated, but none have held up like this case has. The bulkiness of the case is no different than that of my old Casio G-shock from when I was in the US military.

    Great band for Apple Watch II

    So far I have had zero issues with the band and it's ability to interact with the Apple Watch II. It is a little bit more bulky but it has done it's job when it comes to protecting the watch and the watch functions as it should. I have not seen the issue with the dial or side button at all that other users reported.

    For those that don't care for the aesthetics of the apple watch, this is ideal in how it protects nearly all faces. It does not have a screen protector, so the original face of the watch is exposed. It does have a rubber casing inside the band itself, and access to the power button and scroll dial are not impeded. I returned it, as I did not like how bulky the watch looked. I exchanged for a $10 bumper pair by Modal and a Zagg screen protector for $15 which have served me well.

    This is my second case. This case lasts a good year when worn everyday. Later the inside grooves get week and the screw will start to rust. Other than that this case is indeed great. My Apple Watch series 3 has no scratches and when I take it out of the case it still looks brand new. Great case.

    I put this thing through everything as I am a diesel tech and work with my hands. Case keeps my watch safe from water, coolant, and fuel. I wouldn’t submerge this any any type of coolant or fuel but the times it has gotten wet from them it worked like a charm

    Rugged band for Apple watch 42mm

    I bought this for my husband's new Apple watch 42mm. He likes it a lot as the case and band makes his watch looks different from before. Cost more than the original Apple sport band. He does really like the rugged and bigger width band style. His wrist is bigger and it fits him just nice only, wishes the band length is a bit longer. Hopefully the company/manufacture will make a bigger size in future. Maybe adding a screen protector with the product and more color options next time? Will see how this one will last. And yes, will surely buy this item again.

    Gave this case two stars since it does protect the watch well. Down fall is that you can not hear or feel calls or hear texts with the case.

    I originally had a Lunatik Epik on my series 1 watch but it didn't fit on my series 3 due to the watch body being slightly larger. Bought this Catalyst case and I like it better than my old watch case/band. Very easy to install onto watch and it's waterproof. Good job Catalyst!
