Review on RuenTech Compatible for Garmin Fenix 5X Watch Case Cover: Ultimate Protection for Fenix 5X and 5X Plus by Jared Perry

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great and simple idea!

This is a $7 piece of rubber designed to protect the case of your $600 watch! In comparison, people probably spend more than this amount per visit to their favorite coffee shop for ONE cup of coffee! Nowadays that is also the approximate price for a bicycle inner tube (without assembly). This protective coating is designed for scratches and stains that your investment would not otherwise remove. It could probably be fitted and removed with the bands still attached to the watch, but I chose to remove the Quick Fit bands because it made sense. If this protective case is damaged, there is a high probability of 99% user error. I'm not picky about my stuff but very helpful. If it means sacrificing some "comfort" or being more conscious about the things I spend so much money on, then I'll do it instead of criticizing the creators of simple but effective ideas. like this to preserve the longevity of my "investment"! The "sleeve" fits the face of my Fenix 5X very well. The bushing is rubber, and one of the properties of rubber is that it compresses (take any car to test). Thanks to the quick-fit system, the protective cover can be easily removed from jackets or shirts with long sleeves. Rubber also absorbs shock, but it depends on the thickness of the rubber and the severity of the impact. Be sure to remove the bushing from time to time to clean the bushing and the space behind it. It's salt in the sweat and it doesn't differentiate between charging contacts. I use a real chest heart rate monitor (read it's more accurate that way) so I can't comment on the weather or the case won't affect the watch monitor. If you want to keep the look of your $600 watch, buy this watch case for the price of a trip to your favorite coffee shop. If you're clumsy or forget you even have a watch, or just can't make subtle changes to save your belongings, then you might want to reconsider these things and this watch case definitely won't be a good buy. for your watch.
