Wow looks pretty nice. I purchased the tough armor but it hasn't shipped from amazon yet.Really need it, won't wear my watch out in public without a case.
Your choice, but if you got the SS version, there really isn't alot that you can do to hurt it, unless you fall on your face often
It is not like an iphone that you are holding and could easily drop.
Plus it is so beautiful without anything on it, why ruin it by doing that? IMHO

Please post a review when you get it. Thinking about ordering the orange tough armor so I don't have to take off the watch when I go mountain biking.
Just ordered this. Don't know if I'll use it much. But I work outside for a living. Could come in handy
Totally will, it shipped Friday. Hopefully it shows up this week and I can finally wear my watch outside of the house.

Are you serious? You haven't even worn it out of the house yet because you don't have a case for something that wasn't made for a case???
I bought one of these cases for when I go hiking but for daily wear? Man that is beyond ridiculous. How do you enjoy anything if anything you get if you wait for a protective case??
Phones are in a hand, easily fall, get dropped etc. but a watch?? It is attached to your wrist! Can't just fall off.
Wow, I am stunned.
Yup stunned. Not surprised , like keeping by a beautiful car in a glass case. Defeats the purpose, at least to me.
I think the Orange case might look quite good with a Space Grey Sport.

To many clumsy people out there in the world. I know I'm not one of them but the unpredictability of others is something I need to protect my tech from. So yes I wait for cases before using my tech outside of the house. Judge if u want but I've had full resale dollars back when upgrading all my devices and I'm happy with the choices I make.
I have both the clear and the rugged armor. The clear is virtually completely clear unless you focus way in with your eyes and a or take a picture of it. The RA is slightly bigger, and certainly gives it the G-Shock a look… the rugged armour gives you a nice button for the side button, the clear just covers it. The RA "pushes" easier for apple pay. I don't mind either one of them, certainly the rugged armor is going to protect better. With certain bands I plan on buying, the rugged armor won't work. I received the spigen watch stand too , it's very nice and inexpensive.
I know, but it's always nice to see 'real world' photos, rather than Spigen's own promo pictures.
Got my SG watch today, here are a few pics, and a comparison to my everyday G-Shock. Only thing I don't like is the chrome button, you can pop it out but makes the button hard to press as its quite deep, may paint is black when I get home.

Mine came with 2 screen protectors. Haven't used them as the just cover the middle of the glass as per the other thread.
I bought the white rugged armor case after crashing my bike the day after I got my watch. Luckily I landed on the other arm, but I decided I need some protection when exercising. The crash was bad enough to dislocate my shoulder, but the watch only had one minor scratch that I was able to buff out of the SS. I will post a pic when I get it. I certainly won't be using the case unless I am biking or doing yard work. I personally think it is hideous.
That's different from this one I saw on Amazon then, right? My question with this one is would is put scratches on the Space Gray underneath the case?

Tough armor (built in screen protector)

Rugged armor (comes with 2x screen protectors that cover only partial screen)
http://www.spigen.com/brands/apple/apple-watch/apple-watch-case-ultra-rugged-capsule-42mm.html
There are no issues with the rugged armor scratching. It's a TPU material.

My Spigen Rugged Armor photos. One of the comparison shots is my Casio G-Shock G5600KG-3. Spoiler alert - it's still smaller than my G-Shock.
I really like that it's a matte finish on the case. I knew when I took it out of the box that it was exactly what I wanted in a watch case. I also have an Armorsuit on the watch. It covers the entire screen perfectly. The case covers the corners, which also helps to prevent the Armorsuit from peeling off the sides (laying down with the watch/wrist under a pillow, etc.
Notice how it doesn't make the watch appear enormous, like the OP. That guy just apparently has chopstick wrists.

Tough armor is two pieces based on the description. My guess is that the screen shield is attached to a plastic piece and the rubber part goes over it (like otterbox defender cases for the iPhone.)
Edit: nope it's one piece according to spigen.com. I guess it's a composit design with hard in front and soft back.
