amBand Bands Case Screen Protector Compatible with Apple Watch Ultra 3/2/1 49mm for Men, M3 Rugged Protective Case with Band and 9H Tempered Glass for iWatch Ultra 49mm Men Black

I wanted something more rugged for my Apple Watch. The watch fits into the band perfect and snaps closed. When adjusting the strap it has tongs that slide into the band and a sliding piece that doesn't allow the watch to un-strap by itself. It literally took about 10 seconds to snap the the watch in. It took longer to remove the apple straps from the watch than it did to install watch to the case/strap. It does function 100% the same as without the new band. I have used this in the field while doing infrastructure investigations and have smashed it against everything you can think of working in tight spaces and you know what? The case shows zero signs of damage, totally protects my watch and it easily washes up clean. Worth every penny

Transformed my ordinary Apple Watch into a great looking timepiece. All of the watch controls work fine when installed. It seems to add a fair amount of added durability and protection to the watch, as well. I like it.

I bought the 49mm version in red for my Ultra 2. First thing to know if you're thinking of getting one, yourself, just know that it adds quite a bit of bulk in thickness, height, and width. The Ultra series watches are big to begin with, but this cover band adds quite a bit to that. Beyond that, it is good looking, if you don't mind the CHONK and the "greebleys", with a definite Iron Man vibe without being overly obvious about it. It is, however, a bit ostentatious. No one will wear this in a business setting. But, for sports or work, I think it's just fine, if you're into the higher tier G-Shock kind of look. I do believe that it will be rugged, especially with the addition of the tempered glass face protector, along with the extra layers of metal and ABS plastic. Nothing will save the watch from a heavy, direct strike. But it should eat glancing blows without issues. I was also happily surprised about the protective backing plate. I honestly thought I'd have to leave it off because I had my doubts that my aftermarket charger would work with it. However, I had no issues. It started charging as soon as I set it on its pedestal, which I have had trouble with in the past with other third-party watch bands. I have no doubt, because of this, that it will work with an original Apple charger as well. Overall, if you're into the look, which I am, I think it's worth it's reasonable price tag. The red, gold, and black is a nice color combination.

Looks really nice and the quality of the product Mets my speciations. I’m satisfied with my purchase.

Really like the look of this band. It does make the watch look bigger. Only complaint is that the watch does not always charge on my multi charge station that also charges my phone and air pods. My charger has the small disk charger that flips up to place the watch on. The band is just a tad too big for the back of the watch to be able to sit flat on the charger. A standard charger that comes with Apple watches works fine.

Fits well and is very comfortable

This case is huge. I mean Flavor Flav huge. The scale of it is so ridiculous, you can't believe it until you strap it on. The 49mm case size of the Ultra 3 is visually mitigated by the fact that it's rectangular and the strap is wide. With this case mounted, it looks like you've strapped a smartphone to your arm. Also, I bought a titanium smartwatch and this case just looks like a giant chunk of plastic. Which it is. The intent, I think, is to look over-built and indestructible, but it actually just turns a beautifully machined titanium watch into something intentionally ugly and garish. I also bought an aftermarket Ocean strap, just in case this was too big for me. I switched back and forth, from just the Ocean strap to this case, over the course of a week, and discovered the silicon Ocean strap is substantially more comfortable than the strap on this case. The additional bulk of this case makes it flop on your wrist, so you tend to buckle it tighter. At the end of the day your wrist is worn out. The strap is rigid plastic, same as the case, and doesn't flex much at all. I wanted a rugged look for my Ultra 3, but the screen protector ended up being the only part of this case that I used. The self-aligning screen protector applicator is excellent. And last, this case should be made with a black buckle. Everything else on the case is black (or, in my case, orange), the watch itself is black, the strap keeper is black. The silver buckle looks goofy and out-of-place. Even if you have a silver watch, you can't see the watch case once it's in the case, so matching it with a silver buckle is a moot point. It may seem like a trivial detail, but it was one of the details that caused me to say "nope" and write this review. I have a case on my iPhone that is a ruggedized, mil-spec impact rated beast and, in my hand, I barely perceive a size difference with or without it. This case turns an already-big Ultra 3 into a clownish novelty that screams "LOOK AT ME!" from across the room. If that's your jam, this is your watch case. I decided an orange Ocean strap on my black titanium Ultra 3 is everything I need and nothing that I don't. (Thanks Zac Brown.)

Yea this band is solid! Perfect actually. It’s got the beefiness like a g shock. But beefier. Built like a tank and really quality plastic and silicone. Lots of protection. Will likely get another in different color. If you have an ultra, get this strap!

Unfortunately not the product I’d wanted. Resolution was very quick. Would recommend purchase from this vendor
