Something is better than nothing

so far, so good. I received them today and installed one of the three. It's quite thin and may or may not protect the watch as you might think. As with most phone cases, you get what you pay for and look for what you need depending on the level of protection you want. I have a Garmin FR 235 and want to wear it every day and I work in a factory. I have a tempered screen glass on the front as a buffer. I'll update over time but for the most part it's better than what I've seen and what was available on my other Garmin watches that were nothing. It seems like the only option if you need any kind of protection. I used to wear a Garmin vivoactive to work and the screen's tempered glass was the only thing that got damaged and I replaced it from time to time. As for that, along with the tempered glass of the screen, I'd expect something better, but like I said, time will tell. I love Garmin watches, am an avid runner and have loved how running/GPS/smartwatches have evolved over the years. I hope that one day we can find a company that will start making a hard plastic case for my watch, but for now I'll take what I can and be content with some level of protection. Update 8-3-18: After using this product on my watch for a month it is holding up pretty well so far. As I said, I work in manufacturing and wear a watch to work every day. Of course it can get a little dirty, but most of the time the case protects the watch well. Now at home I've had a few falls or noticed I hit something with the watch and each time the case is the first thing that gets hit. I know it can't always protect the watch from every drop or bump, but it's still better than nothing. I will occasionally wear the watch in the shower to wash it with soap. I'm sure dirt gets stuck under the case, but so far I haven't felt the need to remove it to clean it. The holding time will show whether this one breaks, which I'm sure will probably have two more at some point.

Pros
  • heavy duty
Cons
  • exorbitant price
