Review on πŸ“± Spigen Rugged Armor Pro for Galaxy Watch 4 Classic - Charcoal Gray Case with 46mm Band by Sean Perry

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I'm confused - smartwatch accessory

I really wanted to like this case. That being said I will continue to use this case solely for the protection it offers and I am a huge fan of G Shock watches. Pros: Design - I love the design of the G-Shock watch and it gives it a look. my Galaxy Watch.Protection - This case offers superior protection among the competition. I've already done a few moderate to high intensity workouts with this case where my weights/bands/ropes have scratched the watch (thankfully they didn't scratch the surface of the watch) and I no longer have to worry about that case . Hot-Swappable - It's very easy to take your watch out of this case and put it back into this case too, making it easy to choose between a more classic, modern look with your choice of strap or full protection with the G Shock can change the design. The band – the band here is amazing. I've been using Samsung factory straps since I got my watch and I can't seem to find the perfect spot for the clasps. This bracelet gives me the perfect watch position where it's not too loose or too tight and it also has a good ratchet system to keep the bracelet in place. Cons: Bezel - The rotating bezel definitely suffers on this watch, but what do you expect from a case that fully protects the watch? I wish the aperture was a little bigger so I don't get stuck between menus and resort to swiping to get where I need to be. Hook for watch strap - the hook sometimes gets stuck. It's not a big deal, but it can get annoying after a while, making this case a little harder to remove at times. Cleaning. After much work I found this case difficult to clean. I have to take the watch out to wipe off all the sweat and I had to use a cotton swab/folded tissue to clean the pockets on the bottom of the case. It is definitely annoying when you are tired from work. Charger. In this case, due to the design, it is almost impossible to work with the charger. The case is too big and in combination with the straps, the watch falls out of the wireless charger. If you're using a standard charger, you can probably get it to work by putting something underneath to elevate the charger a bit. If you use a Samsung Trio wireless charger, you are SOL. This case does not work at all with this charger. I have to take the watch out of the case to charge and then put it back in the case, which is rather annoying for my morning routine. Fortunately, the watch is very easy to put in and take out of this case. Regardless, make sure you have a backup plan in place and maybe buy a good strap because while this case offers great protection, a stylish spare strap might be your best bet in case of trouble in this case.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Poor instructions
