Good design, one flaw

Good design, one flaw
I got this because I needed something to do kettlebells without breaking my Apple Watch. I also wanted to be able to use my wrist straps while lifting but still have my Apple Watch functionality.Like a lot of other reviewers, it’s extremely hard to get the Apple Watch into the case. I was worried I’d break my Apple Watch in the process.Life hack - I took a paring knife and made 4 small slits on each of the corners. Now my Apple Watch snaps in and out easily. Hopefully that works long term, but I’d rather replace this product than a $600 Apple Watch.It’s a little tight on my forearm, but not uncomfortable. I’m sure as I sweat it will expand some. Overall, it’s the best thing I’ve found so far. I’ve used Velcro style bands but they always slide around. So this seems like a great invention - will see how it holds up over time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Straps? Wraps? This has you covered!
Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2021
I wasn't sure if I could justify $40 for yet another Apple Watch accessory, but because I use wraps and grips when I lift, I didn't want my Apple watch to not track my workout. This did the job quite nicely! I was able to move the strap up to my forearm, though I cannot verify for sure if the heartrate is completel accurate, but again, I use it more to track my workout time and motion than just the heartrate.

It stretches quite nicely, though I wish I could just move it up my wrist just a bit above the strap instead of coming all the way up, but since I can still wear the watch AND track movement and heartrate (theoretically), it's a concession I'm willing to make.

Popping the watch body in and out of the strap is kind of a pain because it's tight, but at the same time, because it's so tight, I don't worry that I'm going to lose my watch. Beware if you have a screen protector on it, even the kind that just covers the screen because this sleeve has created folds on my screen protector and I had to remove it.

Overall though, it does what I need and I'm able to track my workouts while also using grips and wraps! Recommended if you're looking for something like this (which there are surprisingly few options, if I'm being honest.)

Cheers!
