I just put it on last night (11/18/2018) so I can’t attest to the durability of it just yet, however if it’s anything like other Spigen products, which is the reason I bought it, I have full confidence in it. So to install, you first remove the bands from the Apple Watch. Then you have to squeeze the unit into the case. The case does have some flexibility to it, but it is tough. I suggest putting the side with the buttons into the case first, and then squeezing the rest in. Also to note, I put a screen protector on first, and when putting the case on, the screen protector got pulled up in some places. However, once the case was on, I was able to smooth out the screen protector and it fits well. The case does not interfere with the screen protector once everything is in place. So I wanted a case that would stand up to normal to moderate abuse, aka, I wanted to feel confident that I wasn’t going to destroy this thing if my arm brushed the car door or the wall or something. Obviously if I’m doing hard labor, like using a jackhammer and chipping concrete, I’d probably take it off anyways. But for, at least, the everyday stuff, this case should be perfect. It’s a little (and I mean just a little) bulky. It definitely doesn’t follow the slim form factor of the watch itself, but I feel it’s a good mix between style and rugged protection. Be prepared for this to possibly catch your sleeve when putting on a sweater. For me, I absolutely love it. I don’t mind the bulkiness too much, and it still looks like an Apple Watch, if that means anything to anybody. All in all, a tough protector for an expensive device, yet still stylish enough to give you the impression your wrist has a body guard on it 24/7. And of course, all at a great price. Review: Well designed protection for your precious Apple Watch - I got this case even before I got my watch! Good job, Spigen, really good. I received my Apple Watch Sport 42mm gun metal yesterday, 42 days after placing my order at 12:13AM on April 10th which was the first day of sale...Apple, you can do better. Now about this case, which I easily put on the watch right after opening the box. No instructions but it isn't hard at all. I slipped off one of the watch bands by pressing the lock on the back of the watch, holding it, and sliding off the band. Then I fed the remaining attached band through the case and positioned the watch bottom in the case. Then I eased in the top and sides of the watch to the case and re-attached the watch band I had removed. The case material is flexible, like rubber, so this was not difficult at all. Now how does it fit and work? A well-designed accessory. I can access the crown, side button easily, there are holes for the speaker and mic on the other side, and the cut-out for the magnetic charger on the back is perfectly placed. By the way, the included screen protector (Spigen gives you two -- thanks Spigen, but I only needed the one) goes on easily. Just keep dust away when you install the protector and carefully peal off the films protecting the screen protector. I put my screen protector on after the watch was in the case, but you can do it before. The screen protector is cut perfectly to cover the watch face and easily clear the wrap-around of the case. Tactile is not compromised with this screen protector. Wal-la! Done deal and my precious Apple Watch is protected. I'm a bit anal about protecting my beautiful Apple products so I'd don't mind the extra girth that the case adds to the watch. I have big wrists so the extra girth is OK. I do believe that now I can further enjoy my watch without the worry of marring its face and that I can accidentally drop it and it will be OK. I haven't tested this however. I've never dropped my watch or iPhone, but do protect them for the additional peace-of-mind. A well-designed product worthy of five stars! Enjoy. ## Features - Flexible TPU allows quick and easy installation - Durable build with a raise of 1.2mm to protect screen - Aluminum button for solid feedback and an easy press - Screen Protector NOT included - Specifically engineered to fit Apple Watch Series 3/2/1/Original(2015)/Nike+ Sport Edition 42mm ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00UVSNQPM | | Best Sellers Rank | #44,245 in Cell Phones & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Cell Phones & Accessories ) #573 in Smartwatch Cases | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (20,753) | | Date First Available | March 9, 2015 | | Form Factor | Case | | Human Interface Input | Buttons | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 0.352 ounces | | Item model number | SGP11496 | | Manufacturer | Spigen | | Other display features | Wireless | | Product Dimensions | 1.62 x 1.91 x 0.49 inches | | Special features | Flexible, Screen Protector | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Spigen - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Smartwatches - **Form Factor:** Case - **Shell Type:** Hard ## Images ![Spigen Rugged Armor Designed for Apple Watch Case for 42mm Series 3/2/1/Original (2015) - Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61zGNw7nbJL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: will this fit the 42mm series 2?** A: As far as dimensions go, the Apple Watch Series 2 will retain the same case sizes we know from the original - 38 mm (1.5 in) and 42 mm (1.7 in) - while bumping up the overall thickness of the device with 0.9 mm (from 10.5 mm, to 11.4 mm). **Q: Will this keep out sand on the beach?** A: I don't think so. It doesn't seal the buttons. It's basically good protection against scratches. **Q: Has this been revised to fit series 2 including the holes?** A: I've used it on my 42mm Series 2 for about a month. Zero issues with microphone or speakers. **Q: So do you have to take off milanese band to install? If so I dont see how to disconnect band? Thanks** A: The band comes off by pressing the little elongated buttons on the watch itself next to each side of the band. All the bands on the apple watch are interchangeable. That being said, I don't believe you have to take the band off to install. I didn't at least for mine, but I have the elastopolymer one. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rugged protector is rugged and protects *by J***G on November 19, 2018* My wife bought me an Apple Watch, so I bought this case to protect it.

It is only cheap in price but not in manufacturing and quality. I love my Apple Watch and this thing compliments it greatly! It is NOT bulky. It is NOT unattractive. It IS protective of my watch. It IS made with precision measurements meaning this case fits PERFECTLY on my watch. It is nice and snug. It does not annoy me like a big, bulky watch does. Believe me, I HATE BULKY WATCHES. That is one reason I bought an Apple Watch is because it is slim and sleek and doesn't dig into my wrist like most watches that are over-sized. I had thought at first that this case might possibly make my watch bulky and uncomfortable but because of the very low price I said... what the hell? I'll give it a try... And let me tell you, I am NOT disappointed. The next watch I buy, I will be purchasing another Spigen Case, unless of course that new watch is the same 42mm size and in that case i'll just use this same one! Thank's Spigen! Also, it comes with 2 great screen protectors that aren't real thick like most screen protectors that limit the view and the interaction with the touch screen. This screen protector that came with it works AMAZING and isn't thick and annoying like most are... BUY IT AND ENJOY YOU WILL NOT REGRET. ## Frequently Bought Together - Spigen Rugged Armor Designed for Apple Watch Case for 42mm Series 3/Series 2/1/Original (2015) - Black - TECHGEAR [4 Pack] Screen Protectors to fit Apple Watch Series 3/2 / 1 42mm [ghostSHIELD Edition] Genuine Reinforced Flexible TPU Screen Protector Guard Covers with Full Coverage inc Curved Screen - JETech Screen Protector for Apple Watch Series 3/2/1 42mm, Flexible TPU Film, Anti-Scratch HD Clear, 3-Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/14302255-spigen-rugged-armor-designed-for-apple-watch-case-for-42mm](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/14302255-spigen-rugged-armor-designed-for-apple-watch-case-for-42mm) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
