First impression was a 3/5 stars. After wearing for a week my mind had been made up and the band was a 5/5 stars and has continued to stay at that level. I have now had the band for 15-16 days and I couldn’t be happier, especially at the price point. I paid $20, but I can now say I would of paid between $35-$40 and still felt that I had gotten a great deal.

My biggest concern prior to receiving this in the mail was of the material. I used to wear and collect G-shock watches and anyone who has done that has most likely at one point inadvertently purchased a fake/fraudulent “authentic” G-shock watch. One of the easiest ways to spot the majority of fake G-shocks is by the material of the band. No matter how long you wear it the band retains a straight shape and will not hold the curl of the wrist. This SUPCASE band does obtain a worn curl from your wrist (take a look to the last picture I added”.

I really like the feel (both to the touch and on my wrist) of the Apple Watch band that comes with the watch. Please note that the SUPCASE band does not feel the same way. When I first opened this band and saw that it feels different than the original I was worried. I almost thought to send it back without even trying it and I am so so so glad I didn’t.

Other concerns initially:

-The power button would not work well or at all, this couldn’t be further from the, it works impeccably.

-I have a 44mm watch so I was worried that with this band it would be too big. I am 230 pounds and 6’ tall. I love a bulky watch and this band is large, but my arms and hands are slightly above average in size and this was not a problem at all.

-I was worried that the loop would regularly slide off. This has happened once, maybe twice. I do check it several times a day out of habit from my G-shocks, but it hasn’t proven to be an issue for me. The once or twice it did slide down was not a problem. The watch manufacturer put time and consideration into this product when it was developed so even if it slides down the watch remains fastened.

-A big concern I saw in several reviews was that this watch did not remain in contact of the users skin and therefore anything related to heart rate was not reliable or even effective at all. I have not had that experience. I use my heart rate for several things and it has worked superbly for me.

-Perhaps my biggest concern (based on other user reviews) prior to receiving my SUPCASE Apple Watch Series 4 44mm band was that it made the pedometer completely useless. Several people said that the fit of the case into the band wasn’t perfect therefore the pedometer became less than useless. This has not been the case for me. Pedometer still works extremely well.

This wouldn’t be a helpful review to anyone if I didn’t list my personal “negatives” for this band. Please know these are my issues or things I find to be less than ideal about this SUPCASE Apple Watch Series 4 44mm band.

-This band and case is one piece. If you want the case you have to use the band and vice versa.

-The outside edge of the case is raised substantially so it definitely helps with protection from bumps and drops, however the screen has no protection and SUPCASE does not include its own screen protector so I found it of extreme importance to purchase screen protectors. I preferred the ArmorSuit (6 Pack) MilitaryShield Screen Protector (I will do a review for that soon).

-The material feels slightly underweight, but at this point I’m really going out of the way to find “complaints.” It works beautifully well.

Final Thoughts:

Spending $350 on a watch then $20 on a case and band just seemed weird. This is my first Apple Watch I kinda thought that in order to get something of quality I was going to have to spend $50, $60, $70. I was wrong. This band is amazing and realistically could not be better for the price. My wife gave me the watch as a Christmas gift and she bought it on Black Friday. Since I have the best wife on the planet and she knew how long I had been wanting one she gave it to me the day she bought it. So I had about a month with the original band. I loved the material, but I just felt extremely vulnerable to impending damage. I made the decision I had to get a case ASAP. I HAD NO IDEA what to order. Please heed my following advice...unless a waterproof case is 100% necessary I’d stay away from it. I looked at dozens of waterproof cases and the negatives far outweighed the benefit of being able to take my watch in the shower.

Finally, if you’re on the fence about this product just order it and give it a try. The worst thing that happens is you don’t like it and you send it back at zero additional cost. The best thing that happens is you love it or learn to love it once it’s broken in and you’ve found an amazing case and strap for $20. Sounds like a win-win to me.

This is the first review I’ve ever written, but this product definitely deserves a positive review. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope it has helped you to come closer to making a decision on how you can better protect your Apple Watch.

This Apple watch case looks good while protecting the outside edge of the phone. The watch bands are attached to the case so it is one solid piece that is secure and you never have issues with. This is a durable Apple watch case that I would highly recommend to anyone.

This Unicorn Beetle PRO case is a fantastic investment for anyone who wants serious protection for their Apple Watch. I'm an active person, and I'm always worried about dropping or scratching my watch. This case provides incredible peace of mind.

Pros:

* Robust Protection: The case is built like a tank. It's incredibly sturdy and offers excellent protection against drops, bumps, and scratches. The raised edges also protect the screen.

* Comfortable Fit: Despite its ruggedness, the case is surprisingly comfortable to wear. It doesn't add too much bulk and doesn't interfere with the watch's functionality.

* Easy Access: All buttons and ports are easily accessible, and the case doesn't hinder the use of the digital crown or side button.

* Stylish Design: While primarily focused on protection, the case doesn't look overly bulky or unsightly. The black color is sleek and professional.

Overall:

I highly recommend the Unicorn Beetle PRO case to anyone looking for a reliable and protective solution for their Apple Watch. It's a bit pricier than some other options, but the level of protection it provides is well worth the investment.

Great sturdy protective case. Installing is as simply as dropping the watch into it and pressing to secure it. Great to wear in work environments as well as daily use. Only down side is you’ll need to replace them every 7 months to a year the band wears out at the joint from daily use with it being a solid piece.

Great quality and it looks good

I originally purchased this for my series 5 44mm. I have worn this every day for 6 months and it does the job well. There are some small styling aspects that are not my favorite- a bit rectangular and angular, but the pictures are accurate tho so you get what you see. What works for me is the protective bumper including the bezel over the front and sides, which is what I bought it for. I bang into walls, doors , doorknobs etc and this case gives me comfort.

There are no obnoxious brands or PROTECTION references in large letters in the face- there is some lettering / logo on the buckle and a barely visible supcase on the strap. When my series 7 45mm arrived last week I was able to swap it in and it still works great. No problems with the crown, button, charging, or sensors. I do see some reviews with crown or charging interference but mine seems fine.

The thickness and bumper dimensions are similar to my gshock watches, but the apple watch is longer and more rectangular so this does make the package a bit larger. The bumper is about 3mm above/over the glass. Sometimes the excess strap end slides loose from the keeper, but Ive had that with other straps and the actual buckle clasp itself, with the 2 prongs, does not come loose. No way for the watch to come loose or fall out unless the strap / case physically breaks.

Update: lasted 10 months of daily use, successfully protected the watch from multiple bumps and mishaps. Today I noticed the plastic has cracked near the crown. Possible the larger 45mm size contributed to that. That part is quite thin and I noticed other reviewers having the same issue. Not ideal but this is all about protecting the watch so I would be willing to order a second band.

I ended up buying a different band to change the style. On that one the strap is also just a little longer to stay tucked in better.

Overall it was Ok. I had this band for 18 months, and it worked as described for fit and finish. Unfortunately and it broke in the middle of the band. It's very affordable but long term durability is an issue

I bought this case for work, but it looks so good, I wear it everywhere! It makes my Apple Watch tough and more durable, but also look really awesome! Even though it makes the watch much bigger, it’s actually extremely comfortable! I have been waiting for the more expensive rhino band to come out for my watch (they still haven’t) and I’m glad I found this instead! After finding this brand, I’m never looking back! The case is designed so well, with a raised lip around the screen, protecting the watch from smacks against walls and equipment at work and general bumps and bruises from an active everyday life. The carbon fiber touches on the case and band, give it a classier, yet tougher and tactical look. The double clasp makes it extremely easy to put on with one hand and it doesn’t move around or dig into the hand or wrist, like with some of the original bands. Once I adjust it to fit, in the beginning of the day, it stays where it needs to be. The thing is so comfortable and did I say good looking?! Honestly, if I didn’t have to charge the watch every other day, I would never take it off! This band has made my Apple Watch, a real extension of my arm! I would highly recommend this affordable case if you live an active lifestyle or if you’re a hard worker, or if you just want your watch to be bigger and more durable! I even bought a Supcase Unicorn Beetle for my phone to compliment it! Supcase just got a customer for life!

This watch band is comfortable and tough. When I first received this Apple Watch band I was quite disappointed. It looked like cheap plastic tat. I am happy to report I was wrong. It is inexpensive in my view, but is definitely not tat. It is very comfortable to wear. I think it looks good on the wrist. seems pretty tough and encases my apple watch quite well. I am very satisfied with it and would buy another one if I need to.

Un protector de Correa muy bueno, muy buena calidad! Es de plástico duro, muy fácil de montar, muy cómodo y el cierre es muy resistente ,práctico para hacer enduro con la bicicleta y protege mucho de caídas y rama. Calidad-precio está muy bien.

Coming from a long history of wearing G-Shocks, I wanted G-Shock quality protection for my Apple Watch 7. This case strap looks premium, wears comfortable, provides confidence and is priced right. I thought I would regret not having a film to protect my screen, but I don't feel like I need a film anymore. Delightful product, this.
