Spigen Thin Fit Designed for Apple Watch Case Series 9/8/7 45mm Lightweight Hard PC Cover - Black

This is exactly what I needed. I upgraded from an Apple Watch 3 to Apple Watch 9. My 3 had a few bumps/scratches, mostly because the edges weren't protected from hitting things like door jams. This Spigen protector prevents the most common damage to the Apple watch, is low profile, easy to install, and looks good too. The black version looks like it's part of the actual watch. it does make the dial a little harder to use, but not overly so. It's a good tradeoff. Good product.

when i got my apple watch i promptly drove over to the nearest tech store and bought an integrated screen protector case. i hate it. it's too bulky to properly turn the crown, and the side button was just a hole that you had to dig your finger in to actuate. the screen protector looked terrible, made it impossible to tap the edges of the screen, and when i got it wet it retained water and started showing condensation almost immediately, even if i took it off to dry it off. boo!turns out that _this_ is the case i was looking for all along. paired with a separate screen protector, i feel totally comfortable wearing my expensive watch out and about wherever i go, and i don't hesitate to stuff my hands in the sink when it's time to do the dishes. the crown remains easily accessible, and the side button is protected yet accessible. although it fits securely, it pops off and back on with ease when it's time for cleaning.walk, don't run. buy it now. actually you don't need to walk or run anywhere because you've already got Amazon pulled up and ready to go. just press the buy it now button already!

Spigen smartphone accessories are always top notch, especially for the low price they charge. I’ve had my watch case for over 4 months now and it has provided excellent protection without impeding the touch screen and weighing so little, it’s hardly noticeable. If you’re going to make the choice to spend good money on an Apple Watch, protecting it with this case is an absolute no brainer. I promise you will not even know it’s there.

Generally I NEVER have anything negative to say about Spigen products. I've purchased their cases for my phones for YEARS. And they've all been durable, though admittedly maybe I just take care of my stuff more than the average person.But then I started buying protective gear for my new Apple Watch (which I'd never done before on my Android watches going back several years), and wow am I surprised at the results, and not in a good way.While the styling is still great. The form, fit and finish still great...I cannot say good things about quality or durability. I don't know if it's the type or grade of plastic that's being used, but every single one of the bands with included screen bumper or even just this screen bumper protector, all split somewhere around the edge of the screen. I am generally QUITE careful with my things, including my watch so it maybe receives one somewhat harsh bump or two, but nothing even marks the protector much less the watch. But then one day I inevitably wake up to notice that the case has broken and split apart in one corner. After buying 3 of them, I began to think the cases were meant for the previous 44mm watches sizes and that maybe the 45mm was just too big putting too much stress on the cases eventually causing them to split, but this case fits perfectly and even somewhat loosely, indicating that the watch is NOT too big for it and yet it still split. That just seems too weak for me. I don't understand. Still better than nothing as it does still offer protection, just not durable enough for the price in my opinion, considering what their phone cases costs and how long those last (typically longer than the 2 years I usually keep a phone for).I took 1 star off because I believe it should be a little more durable for the price and for durability I only rated it 3 out of 5 stars because in the 1 year to the date that I've own my Apple Watch Series 7 45mm, I've had to replace that protector 3 or 4 times now, so on average they only last about 3 to 4 months tops before the split around the edge of the screen.

Excellent Fit

Simple and just works? What you expect, is a protector for the watch so it does it without being that bulky. Buy it.

The iWatch case is of exceptional quality, ensuring minimal bulkiness without compromising its aesthetics. Installation is a straightforward process, and it provides comprehensive protection for the iWatch.

Like other reviews mention - these can be a bit fragile.I'm using one to cover the body of the watch and to provide a bit of protection to the screen. I don't have a history of damaging watches or phones, so I tend towards more minimal cases. This case sticks up just proud of the watch face, so if you drop your watch on a tile floor for instance the face shouldn't make contact with the tile. But since it doesn't directly cover the face of the watch it doesn't provide any protection if you hit the watch against a rough surface.I was happy enough with my purchase(other than the fairly high price compared to other choices) until it broke while I was removing it to clean salt buildup off. I cringed when I saw the price of a replacement, but prefer having direct access to the screen with my finger to use it vs the cheaper cases that have a built in screen protector. When(I don't think it's really a question of If) this one breaks, I'm unsure if I'll replace it a second time without doing a bunch of shopping for alternatives.I like the minimal nature of it, don't like the cost, don't like the durability. I've had much happier Spigen purchases in the past, so this one leaves a bit of distaste for the brand for me.
