EPIK Polycarbonate Case and Canvas Strap for Apple Watch Series 1, Black/Black

Let's just start by saying Apple didn't come through with any watch band that holds up to the daily activitys of a truly active person. I.e. Construction worker, mechanic, etc. Let alone a band that creates a bold statement of a solid watch. With the addition of this LUNATIK watch band/case my Apple Watch(A/W) now looks like I always imagined it should, big, bold, and solid. It some what resembles a g-shock that's for sure but it demands its own place in the watch game due to the fact it surrounds an A/W. Big watches are in right now and this band fits the bill. I constantly get asked "what kind of watch is that" With that said there are a few draw backs. doing, say push-ups or something of that nature , the Digital Crown does get pushed in and Siri will ask you what's up, not a super big deal for me but could be annoying for some. ( I just tell her to shut up) also the band is mounted around the watch with two hex screws of which you are asked to not over tighten, but if not tightened enough they will eventually back out and fall out. I lost one already but they do provide two extras with the proper tools to do the tightening with. Periodic tightening and checking would probably remedy this but once again that's just and added inconvenience. But not a deal breaker for me. All in all a nice up grade to your Apple Watch!

If you are having a problem with adjusting this case you need to get rid of your apple watch because you obviously can't read instructions. After you follow the SIMPLE instructions and get your apple watch in the case, put it on your wrist. Try the digital crown and tighten the screws SLOWLY. You may find that pressing the sides of the case in and using the STRAIGHT allen wrench (provided) will tighten the case without over tightening. If you use the angled allen wrench it is very easy to over tighten the screws and that will cause problems. Just look at the pictures and follow the directions.The case adds enough "bulk" to the watch to make it look more masculine. I usually wear a Suunto watch, so I am used to big watches. This case does add some size to the watch, but it provides protection to the touch screen and has a better "feel".All functions work normally and this is just a very nice case.Update: After wearing this for a couple of weeks I can say that this is a fully functional case/band for your Apple Watch. Some have said that the digital crown gets activated (along with Siri), but if you go to the watch app on your iPhone you can control the watch orientation. For example I wear the watch on my left wrist and adjusted the settings so that the digital crown is to the left (away from my wrist bone). No problems with Siri activating at all.Follow the simple directions and do not over tighten the allen screws (you are not putting lug nuts on your car) and you will have zero problems.

I love the look and feel of the case and band. Adds much needed bulk to make it feel like a mans watch. Gray is more like an olive drab color but that's okay as it matches my AF uniform. Not a case to swap daily. Installs with screws and if tightened down back and forth there are no issues with it fitting.Two cons so far. Had it about a month and the underneath seems to be showing some cracking near the watch sensor. Might be just a bad case. The other issue is that if you get a full screen protector like the supcase glass it won't fit properly as the glass has some plastic that cover the watch glass edges. That's needed but as the case splits in half to slide together it won't allow a good seal with that type of glass. That being said, the case covers the edges of the glass fairly well so you might not need glass unless prone to direct impacts to it.Will see how it holds up and repost with more info.UPDATEAlmost two months into the case and there are a couple things worth mentioning.First and foremost the case is completely cracked in four spots. The case screws were not overtightened. Haven't banged it against anything either. It's too late for a return so I'm going to work with the warranty to see if I can get it replaced. And replace it I will because I really do love the look and feel of the case and band.Second thing addresses the inadvertent Siri call up. I simply turned the band around so the crown is facing my upper arm and changed the settings of the watch. Problem solved immediately.If the company honors the warranty I will be satisfied and still recommend the band/case. Will update once I get a new one in.

Held off a while to actually get this case after looking at some of the negative reviews. Decided to finally just purchase it and give it a chance and count the money as a loss if it was a total piece of crap. I'm glad to say it is far from it. I am used to wearing a G-Shock, so this case is very comparable in feel and durability. I work out often, and this holds up well.Very easy to install .. seriously, a monkey could install this case... and I'm not even talking about the kind that go to space, I'm talking straight out the jungle monkeys...There is no screen protector, but I just simply bought some separately and tailored them to fit within the parameters of the case. It's not water proof, but I knew that getting into it and that is cool with me.Would recommend this case and buy again.

Got this but was a little hesitant as it's not as easy on/off as the sport bands. But, installation only took a minute or two and the fit is nice. Seems to protect everything but a direct strike to the glass, but the glass is recessed a few millimeters so I can't imagine a problem.Only thing I would change on the case would be having the bottom edges rounded. They are 90 degree corners where the are next to your skin. Not horrible, but not as comfortable as the watch itself against the wrist.The case let some moisture in. Pitted the finish of my watch. I would not recommend!
