Great Protection for my Apple Watch
I recently bought my first Apple Watch (series 3) from Amazon and love it. I was worried however that being a glass face I may accidentally break it. I looked into Apple Care and that would cost be $120 it I needed to replace the watch ($50 for Apple Care and $70 replacement fee). The watch only costs me $169 so that didn't seem to make a lot of sense. I looked into some cases but since I use it for lap swimming that wasn't going to work either (the water can get into the case) so I decided to get this bumper. I both swim and mountain bike with my Apple Watch so the chances of breakage against the side of the pool doing back stroke or as I'm flying off my mountain bike seemed pretty high.I received the bumper a couple of days ago. I must admit that I had a rather difficult time putting it on the watch face but once I did it worked, looked, and felt great. It provides protection not only around the edges but also for the face since the bumper is slightly raised above the face of the watch. It fits perfectly around the watch face and doesn't get in the way of any of the buttons. I have now tried it swimming and biking with it with no problem and no interference with the heart rate monitor or other metrics. The bumper also does not get in the way when I am charging it at night. Lastly, it blends in perfectly with my black sports band that came with the watch so it looks like it's all one piece. I can now do all my activities with my Apple Watch without being afraid of breaking it. I highly recommend this product.

3 years and counting
I have been using this bumper on my watch for 3 years. It has been on my watch case the entire time, survived multiple home improvement projects and has protected my watch very well the entire time. The bumper aligns well with the buttons, microphone, and speaker on the watch case.My bumper is a tiny bit scuffed in places now, but this is due to my own carelessness and not a reflection on the bumper itself. The material has held up very well. It has not torn or cracked anywhere and also hasn’t become brittle or gummy; I have noticed no degradation whatsoever in the durability or flexibility of the material.I use a curved screen protector to cover the entire face of the watch. The bumper is a little tricky to put on the watch case over this type of screen protector. The trick is to get your fingernails under the bumper and pull it over the last 2 corners of the screen protector—otherwise it might get caught and pull the corners up.I would definitely buy this again, but even after 3 years, I have no reason to!

Would recommend!
I’m really glad I found these cases. I had previously bought some stick on screen protectors for the screen and used a flexible case that snapped on over the back and sides to protect my watch. Unfortunately the protector was curved and due to where the case sat, the screen protector kept rolling up on the edges. This case snaps over the front and has a built in screen protector. It’s perfect. It protects from if you hit your watch (lightly) on a counter or car door or anything and also protects the screen. It covers the front and sides. I haven’t had moisture build up in between the watch and screen cover as some reviews mentioned, but I have had dust get in there. It collected a little bit at the bottom over a period of a few weeks. It’s easy enough to take the bands and then the whole case off and clean it up quickly though.

Not Screen Protector Friendly
I had cracked my Apple Watch screen protector on the side three times in the last two months. Considering I've only owned the watch since August, I figured my use of an Apple Watch would need more than the protecting I was using. I got this bumper because it said it was compatible with curved screen protectors. I put this device on my watch and then watched my curved screen protector pop off because the bumper put pressure on the corners as I put it on my watch. I had a spare screen protector so I used that instead and currently, this screen protector is curling up at the corners. I should have saved myself some trouble and bought the bumper/screen protector combinations instead. I will however survive due to the fact that the 38mm Apple Watch will no longer be a size Apple cares about since the smallest Apple watch will be the 40 mm version.Unlike a few other users, my bumper has no problem sitting on the Apple specific charger, so I suspect they have trouble charging their watch because they are using a different charging system, causing them to make modifications to the bumper.I will take a pass on this bumper next time, though so far the edges of my watch have not cracked.

Protects watch from bangs
I kept on banging my watch and it got some scratches so I bought this case. It has held up very well and has received quite some bangs since then. It has protected my watch very well. My watch does not have any new scratches so I am happy.

Solid Bumper protection all around
Exactly does what it is supposed to do. Protect the face by covering the complete edges around the watch. I previously bought a silicone “cover” which worked okay for the first day, but then it interfered with the touch screen. So I saw this V85 cover which gives it a bumper protection (after having cracked my watch glass twice, I was not going to go without a cover). It’s the same kind of protection I look for in a phone case and it fits perfectly on the Apple Watch 3. It does make the watch face look slightly larger, but I love it and it leaves the watch face open to utilize the touch screen.

So far, so good..
Despite the mixed reviews I purchased this to replace the previous 4 year old bumper I had. This is a great, no frills bumper. Looks clean and does what it’s supposed to. It’s a little snug getting on and off, but fits well.I have sensitive skin and haven’t had any kind of irritation or adverse reactions. I only take my watch off while charging, cleaning the watch and showering.Greta for the price. Would recommend!
