OROBAY Compatible with Apple Watch Band 45mm 44mm 42mm with Case, Shockproof Rugged Band Strap for iWatch SE2 SE Series 9/8/7/6/5/4/3/2/1 45mm 44mm 42mm with Bumper Case Cover Men Women, Orange

This is my second attempt to buy a rugged band for my Apple Watch. I think the second time is the charm, but I’m still looking for the premium option.On day one, this seems like a quality durable band. I like how the watch just plugs in.I’m glad the case doesn’t come with a glass protector. The glass protector on another band allowed condensation to build between the watch glass and the protective glass, rendering the Apple Watch non responsive when wet. This band has ample protection around the watch and the current version of Apple Watch has durable glass that stands to impacts, so I don’t think the glass protector is necessary. Besides, if I need a glass protector I’ll buy one that sticks to the glass, not one that just covers the glass. Another bonus is that this band does not have tacky branding and words on it. I like a clean look and don’t need to be a billboard.Reasons for not giving this 5 stars:1. The casing encroaches on the edge of the Watch with a sharp and steep edge. This makes it uncomfortable operate the watch, especially when trying to access features at the edge of the screen. A tip for the manufacturer: bevel the edges so the case more seamlessly fits with the watch. I’ll use a razor blade to level mine to see if I can make it more comfortable.2. I like a softer rubber and would be willing to pay for it. A tip for the manufacturer: provide a carbon option for the case and a silicon option for the band.Bottom line, seemingly solid but not the premium option I’m looking for.

I’ve had this watch band about a month now so, this is a review of daily use.Pros: durable, comfortable, size-able (I have bigger wrists), looks decentCons: the advertisement pic kind of overstated the color/quality of the band. I was expecting a dark blue like the pic but the band is actually more of a matte navy and kind of pasty blue? Although the band is durable, it looks “cheap” - not like it’s worth $18-$20.Overall, the band is good for everyday use. It definitely protects the watch. I generally “like it” but would not buy others. I was expecting it to look more like the pic and it didn’t which is why I give it 4 stars. Overall, would recommend.

Got this to give as a gift to my boyfriend as I also got him an apple watch. He is a military guy, so the normal band they come with wouldn't work for him.He likes a more realistic-looking watch even when its a smart watch. He loves it and I think it's pretty good qualtiy.

easy to install, traditional watch band. feels a little cheap but it was inexpensive but i think it will do great. i got this cuz the original apple band actually tore! plus my wife had gifted me a blue apple watch and so this new band brings it back to black again, cannot tell my watch is blue 😁

The good:This watchband provides a sturdy, easy-to-install, alternative to other Apple Watch bands.It's harder plastic, so it will wrap around a watch charger stand. (Have not used it with the flat charger, e.g., on a table.)The challengesYes, as other reviewers have indicated, it's not super-flexible.Could use a second "band keeper." The watchband tongue tends to pull out from the single keeper.Thicker than a regular Apple watchband, and that makes it harder to access when wearing with a long sleeve shirt.Installation directions are in micro-microtype.The storyI was looking for a more secure Apple watchband that would stay on my wrist. The rubber watchbands would pop off when I was working in the yard, lifting stuff, etc. And, on occasion, I had to activate the "find Apple product" to locate my watch.I ordered this band after reading the reviews. All the challenging reviews are accurate: this band is thick and not super flexible. But it's easy to install the watch (Remember, there are small buttons on the watch to release your old band ends.). And it wraps around a charger stand. So, it's an OK alternative.

Like the high rise protection created for the screen, only thing I dislike about this product is that the slider that I circled in picture is not stable it slides off the band too much and have to continuously slide it back in place and it is quite annoying will be switching back to the original band. Could definitely come with a screen protector too but overall protection is good

I love these style of watch bands they are nice an sturdy an protects the face of the watch this is my second one I had the last one on my old Apple Watch for at least three years or more no problem at all with it an I just got a new watch an got this new band an I expect the same out of it would recommend for sure

I buy one of these a year and never have a problem with these. I work in warehouse and mechanic on the side. For less than $20 I’ll order one every year
