I ordered this band for my Apple Watch Ultra 2 and when I got it the box was fine, but inside I found the band and another mystery brown leather band plus all the tags and screen protector all just shoved in the box. Nonetheless, I put the black band/case on my watch and loved it. The band seemed a little dirty so I cleaned it and cleaned it, but could never get it clean. It had green sparkles on one side and was just kind of dirty. So I initiated a return and replace with same product and I'm glad I did. The seller got me a new one sent out the next day as promised and this one came with everything intact. Not dirty, no green sparkles and without the mystery dingy brown leather band. I figure the first one was a mistake and I was sent a used one, but nonetheless the seller made it perfectly right and with a quickness! I highly recommend this product if you're looking for a band/case combo that essentially turns your Apple Watch Ultra 2 into an indestructible Apple version of the famous Casio G-Shock!

I really gave this thing a run for its money. I haul and secure heavy construction equipment daily. I’ve just been wearing my Apple Watch Ultra II with screen protectors that get cracked and broken by the end of the week, if not biweekly. I was going through them like crazy. I wore this thing for two weeks. Still using the screen protector it came with. My watch has been smacked against lifts, excavators, chain binders, trucks, and not one crack through it since wearing this case/band. The first photo is the first day I wore it. Second photo is one week in. Third photo is two weeks in. It got dirty, but it hasn’t broken off in little bits anywhere when my job is physically demanding. Strong product, it’s a tank. Easy to wash off in the sink. Does not irritate my skin. I can sleep with it. No scratches after wearing it the full two weeks I tested this thing. Great product for the $25 bucks. Doesn’t make it more difficult to wear although it is slightly bigger. Functionality is the priority for me.

Update: Okay so I bought this watch band probably like a year ago. I try to leave reviews on all the products I buy on Amazon, and today I was cleaning my watch and band (it got pretty grimy) and I started thinking “I should update that review if I ever left one”. Turns out I never left a review after buying it. So here we go:First things first: this is a great rugged Apple Watch band. I always have Otterbox-like cases on my devices because I’m rough with them and I’m clumsy at times. I was concerned that I wouldn’t be able to find a rugged band that fits my huge wrists. This one does, and I still have 3 holes left on the band. So if you have a big wrist, this is the one for you. If your wrist is small, you might need to cut the band down some, but that should be easy to do with a new razor blade. Second, the edge of the band comes above the plane of the screen, so you won’t bang your watch face on a flat surface (still gotta be careful about pointed hazards, though). The crown is exposed, and it moves just fine. The buttons are covered and they work great even in the case. There’s holes for the speaker and mic, but they have some form of mesh on the larger one, so no worries there. It’s comfortable and it looks cool. Looks rugged, but not overtly bulky. It’s easy to clean even when it gets grimy, I use water, a toothbrush, and 91% rubbing alcohol for the tough grime. The brush gets in all the nooks and crannies.Okay now to the reason I decided to come back and do this review a year later. This thing is STILL going strong. No tears, a few scuffs on the metal band loop, but that’s to be expected. I’ve worked on my car engine with this on, I’ve mowed yards, I’ve done a shower remodel, I’ve done everything. Haven’t broken the watch (or the band) yet. I’m considering buying a new band in maybe the orange or green just to have something that looks nice for the occasional style flair. But as far as the tried and true black band, I’m gonna keep it and keep using it 80% of the time. Oh, and it’s easy to pop the watch in and out of the band. It’s not hard to do. If you wipe the watch and the band down once a day, it won’t get grimy. But let’s be real: few people will do that.Original Review: I bought this band for my Apple Watch 8. I wanted something that was rugged enough to protect the watch without being too bulky and I am a big guy with large wrists. This watch band was perfect for me. I usually have it on hole 4 or 5 from the end, and there's still plenty of band to tuck under the loop. The button and dial work great, and it's easy enough to pop the watch out so you can clean the band/case. I just use a toothbrush and soapy water, comes out looking like new. I've had it for a few months now, wear it daily, and haven't had any problems with tearing or anything else. If you're a bigger guy/gal, rest assured this will be a good band for you. If you have a small wrist, you'll probably have a lot of excess band unless you cut it down.

Fairly decent watch band / case with some downfalls.Firstly, I was disappointed when I realized there is no built in screen protector. It’s literally just bumpers. I was hoping for a little more overall protection. I do woodworking and get lots of sawdust when I do router sledding so I may just remove it when I do that stuff possibly.Alternatively the free watch faces you get are app exclusive. So whenever you press the round button it exits out of the app and goes back to your regular default Apple watch faces. In order to use the custom face, you have to have the app open on the watch. Back out of the app and the watch face goes away. Kind of a bummer.Overall, it looks nice. Feels rugged. I’ll wear it for a while and see how I like it. I was using some cheap plastic cases with built in tempered glass for the last couple years and they’ve been awesome. Wanted to switch it up with this one. If you’re not worried about the tempered glass then it’s a great band. If you wanted the free watch faces, you can get them by just going to ambands website. It’s a bit involved to get them, and they’re strictly temporary and don’t natively integrate with the Apple Watch.

I bought this band in 2023 for rugged protection & rugged look and it’s still going strong. I just realized I never reviewed it.I work on houses while wearing this band, it’s been in saltwater while fishing, it’s been to several countries, it’s worked on cars, it’s worked in the yard, it has taken a beating but still works and functions as it should.

I purchased 6 months ago and I have only good things to say about this band. Mainly it is Rugged and Durable. It is well made With solid construction. The best part is that the watch nest inside the watch band from the back side well protected and the band and watch nest are one piece. no band clip links to pop loose and loose your watch. Daily use and no irritation.
