SUPCASE for Apple Watch 3/2/1 Case with Band 42mm, Black

Easy to install, great quality, fit and protection for my Apple Watch

As background: I stopped using Apple's official watch bands when they discontinued the simple 2 strap design with a normal pronged clasp. I didn't want the sports band, the velcro, the metal, etc - I have a metal one for dress attire but it's subject to scratching and doesn't protect the face. This has the massive advantage of a raised rim around the face to protect it. I have a sapphire face but still have had zero injuries to my watch in the years I've had this brand of watch case/strap. I've purchased the supcase for my series 2 apple watch in black, and over the years it eventually started to show some wear: using it in a pool over 30 times, and the ocean, eventually caused the black to show a little bit of discoloration. So I bought a few more, and this was one of the versions I bought. The stiffness of the clear version is distinctly different from the solid colors, at least black and green - it it a bit less pliable than the solid colors. It's still quite comfortable, and easy to put on and off. It's similarly easy to pop the watch in and out of, like the others, though it's something I probably wouldn't do ever day, as it looks like it might wear on the strap/case a bit due to the pressures involved. That said, I've done it numerous times and haven't seen any direct evidence of wear to the watch or strap, it just seems like material like this would eventually start to show wear. The only downside is pinching your arm a bit when sliding the strap loop holder in, but that's minor and never breaks the skin. The transparent look is pretty cool, it's a smoky type of look with a nice reflective shine to it, so it's almost like a subtle bling look. The clasp being chrome helps a little too. I think black is still my favorite color for overall look - since it matches the face background color and creates a solid watch look and feel - but this is a wonderful way to mix it up.

I’ve used this case since the day I bought my watch around 5 years ago. After years of abuse, the band finally gave out on me. Very impressed with the durability, and I recommend this case for anyone that does anything.

My job / life may be a bit different than most. Bought this July 2019 (thought it was a longer than that, but 2020 certainly has a way of making months seem like years, right?), because I wanted something comfortable but durable. To give context, I am the Media/Tech director at a camp and conference retreat center in Nebraska so while most of the time I am inside buildings working on electronic things, I am also outside quite a bit, usually helping run high energy activities like high ropes courses, climbing rock walls, paintball, etc. I like the look and feel of it (black and soft, flexible rubber) and it didn't interfere with charging or anything. Perhaps a bit bulky for others, but I didn't mind it. Only complaints: make sure you take the watch out every few weeks / monthly and clean the inside of the watch case + the apple watch. Lots of dust / skin can buildup there, especially if you wear the watch while washing your hands / doing dishes / taking a shower, well you get the picture. Ok, really only complaint is that the watch band broke about a month ago. PICS 1 & 2 are my attempts to zip-tie the band together until I could locate the original apple watch bands. Finally found the bands this morning to switch it out and also noticed crack in band strap as well (PIC 3) CONCLUSION: really liked the watch band / case, but hoping it would last a few years at least

It’s a great product. I bought it three years ago. This is my second time.

This SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle Pro is absolutely fantastic for protecting my Apple Watch Series 3! The rugged construction feels incredibly solid and has saved my watch from multiple impacts during workouts and outdoor activities. The protection level is outstanding without making the watch overly bulky. The integrated strap bands are surprisingly comfortable for extended wear. I was worried about chafing or discomfort, but they're well-designed and breathable. The fit is secure without being too tight, and the materials hold up beautifully to sweat and daily abuse. What impressed me most is how it maintains full functionality while providing serious protection. All buttons remain easily accessible, the crown spins smoothly, and charging works perfectly. The screen cutout is precise and doesn't interfere with touch sensitivity at all. Installation was straightforward and the case fits the 42mm Apple Watch 3 like a glove. The build quality feels premium with excellent attention to detail. After months of heavy use, it still looks and functions like new with no wear or loosening. Perfect for anyone with an active lifestyle who needs serious protection. Whether you're at the gym, hiking, or doing manual work, this case gives complete confidence your watch is safe. Essential protection for active Apple Watch users! Highly recommend!

There are a few pros and cons with this case/band. I just bought my third one because the last two broke. That said, the SUPCASE broke, not my watch. My first one lasted a year and 4 months. It was doomed after I was bite on the wrist by a pit bull while delivering packages for FedEx. The second one died while I was working out when the band broke and it went flying across the room. I'm fairly rough on my watches. I'm clumsy in general but also not very careful with them. Pros: Very durable case, easy to use (mostly), and comfortable to wear Cons: a little hard to get the watch into the case since it's press in, this can damage screen protectors depending on the one you use, and I'm kind of disappointed at the one that broke while I was working out since there didn't seem to be any cracks or other signs of fatigue in the band All in all, if this one makes it another year and a half or more, I'll gladly get a fourth one. I use the LK Film Screen Protector and swapping them out this time, there are still no scratches or damage of any sort anywhere on my watch after almost 3 years of rough use. Great protective case for rough use.

I purchased this case and band for my Apple Watch. I am really hard on things, very active job where my watch will knock into things and I love to ice skate and didn't want to smash my watch on the ice. Pro: Seems heavy duty Protects sides from impact Recess between top edge and top of watch protects from top side impact Looks nice Con: Tough to fit watch into case when screen protector is applied. It kept peeling back the screen protector on top and one side. Hard plastic band not comfortable at all! I like the protection. I absolutely HATE the band. Maybe the next design could have a softer, silicone band option? If so, that would be wonderful. I will keep using it since I have lots of high contact activity in my life and I have not found another band that seems to offer as much protection, even with a more comfortable band.

デザインとフィット感は良いです。やや耐久性能に難あり。ベルト部分が約1年でひび割れ・破損します。気に入っているので3回目の購入です。

Very sturdy and quite comfortable. Provides complete protection to the watch. If you've already put a tempered glass it won't fit into the case and it ends up cracking. So the best way to protect the screen from any scratches is by putting a screen guard. This case makes the watch look very bulky so it depends on the individual. Installation of the watch into the case was quite difficulty for me so proper care should be taken while it's being done. And last but not the least you end up losing the entire look of your Apple watch,now it looks like some G-Shock but atleast there won't be scratches and cracks on your valuable screen !!

I was a little sceptical purchasing this for my Apple Watch because of the low price. I am glad I did! The band is great quality and looks great on my wrist. It feels very similar to wearing the band that came with the watch and there are no issues with the contacts on the watch touching me wrist. The protection it offers for my watch is excellent. I saw this band on another auction site selling for twice the price. If I would have purchased it there, I’d still be satisfied. Worth every penny.

Also ich bin mit dem Armband komplett zu frieden. Es schützt die Watch gut - wobei man sich noch eventuell eine dünne Folie extra für das Display holen sollte/kann. Aber das Gehäuse ist gut geschützt und mach mir auch in der Arbeit keine Bedenken irgendwo mal anzustoßen. Es trägt sich auch sehr angenehm - Installation ist sehr einfach. Also Preis/Leistung ist o.k.

Great buy ! This exactly what i wanted to protect my son’s apple watch ! It was exactly as described and must say , the quality exceeded my expectations. It came with high quality package. It also looks nice and gave the watch a kind of adventurous or army look. Must buy if you are looking for maximum protection to your apple watch!
