Thanks! How does it fit? I heard the bands are really short.

I bought one over the weekend and I do find the band a bit short. I had it on my watch all day yesterday and I have decided I'm taking it back. I only planned on using it when I went to places like amusement parks and when I work the concession stand during football season. I didnt find the band comfortable and I decided to just order the Spigen rugged armor to put on the watch in those situations for a little extra protection.

I returned mine.

1. It looks cheap
2. It's way too bulky(compared to the Spigen Tough armor case)
3. Not a fan of their band (can't make case work with your own bands)
4. Don't like how the crown feels

I have large wrists and the band length seems ok. I'm on the 5th hole from the end (see pic). And it really does make the watch itself appear quite bulky, which I like. Besides the added protection and versatility of making my 42mm SS with Milanese loop look like a rugged watch, I like the width of the Lunatik band. IMO, the width of the AW BSB band is a bit too narrow for me. I had the Spigen Tough Armor case too but again, IMO, it looked to big/wide for the AW band.

I bought mine and returned it the next day! Build quality was terrible, my digital crown would not work with the case.

I made a video about it below feel free to check it out.

Basically the same experience I had. The crown is kinda wonky and the build quality is meh. You'd expect more from a $79.00 case.

Still need to change the screen protector to the armor edition off amazon, arrived yesterday. But the material for this case is aluminum. I've hit it a few times on doors and my desk, no issues at all in terms of impact. By far worth the 25.99 price tag I paid. Will be purchasing another color or two off ebay this week.



I just got this one today too from eBay. I cannot tell if real or fake, but it certainly works.

I found the digital crown to have the same issue. However, I turned it in tighter and then it works like it's supposed to.

Have you noticed any scratching to the watch itself from the case? That's my only concern. Looks great.

None. I wore it for 3 days and switched back to another case, only because dress shirt cuffs could be a bitch. When I replaced, no damage to the watch. I even scrapped my wall on the stairs. Did damage tot he wall and none to the case nor the watch. LOL.

None at all, I took my device out and looked at it twice now since getting the case. It's working brilliantly.

I STILL love my Black Lunatik band from BestBuy.

Now the trick in getting the button and crown working perfictly is dependant on the tightness of the bolts. I have my bolts very tight and I can bring up Apple Pay overtime and the Crown works perfectly.

I believe most of the issues people are having is not tightning the bolts completely!

I stopped using my lunatic iPhone case because it SERIOUSLY diminished my reception for wifi, and cellular. Putting metal around a device that relies so much on radio signals is a bad idea. Take it from the guy with the $100 case sitting in his discarded gadget drawer at home.

This is EXACTLY why I purchased the plastic case!

I'm about to back this on kickstarter, I love the idea of aluminum alloy casing, otherwise wouldn't touch it if it's plastic, the design seriously looks bad ass!

I love the fact that it's waterproof but I won't be swimming with it anytime soon.

Shipping is estimated in September, that's a price to pay for kickstarter project I guess.
