Got this in the mail the other day from Poetic for my thoughts...and here they are. I get what they were trying to do here. But it falls just short of where it should be. (Even if the band weren't way too masculine for me to start with.)
The band itself is nice. Thick TPU, which is actually pretty comfortable. But as you may be able to tell from the photo above, I have it almost to the last hole, and my wrist is by no means large. This (38mm) band would never fit someone with a larger than average wrist.
But the biggest issue is that it's pretty darn near impossible to get your watch into the case. I almost gave up. If you don't plan on ever using another band, then it would be worth the fight to get it in. If you're the kind of person who changes your band more than twice a month, it's not worth the battle.
The fit is great once it's in there. You can easily access the digital crown, and the cover on the power button works extremely well.
I recommend waiting for the next version, although, for $24.95 it's not a bad option if you need the protection.
