SpigenRugged Armor Pro Designed for Galaxy Watch 4 Classic Case with Band 46mm (2021) - Black

Snug fit, definitely a step up on the rugged look, plus the raised edge will protect the watch face. Looking forward to see how the daily wear goes. Right now, I'd give it 5 stars.

As titled, great protection for the Watch 4 Classic. The summary - more "wrap around" protection than the lighter Spigen armored case, with just slightly more bulk and weight. All watch functions are still available, and the top cutout allows the bezel to still be used, a major feature of the Classic design. The case and band are comfortable wearing, and very lightweight. Easy to install - the watch just pops in from the back (for those paying attention to secondary instructions, inserting the button side first). Important to note, the case fits the Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 46mm (for which this case is made) perfectly - important because the case is the only thing attaching the watch to the band. It does NOT fit any other generation or size of any other Samsung watch. Also great value for the features - band and case cost about the same as many watchbands alone, and substantially less than OEM Samsung bands. The good and not so good:Good- As noted, lightweight and comfortable - the silicone band is slightly stiffer than many other silicone bands, but is also thinner so still flexible, and sized to fit the majority of wrists. The well-designed "keeper" loop on the end of the strap prevents the perforated end of the strap from just flopping around.- Stylish design - the all-black hardware and "carbon fiber" cutouts make the watch and band look classy.- Also noted, very reasonable priced and good value for cost.- The OEM charger fits perfectly, and charges as designed.- Good protection from drops and bumps - with a screen protector (Spigen makes a great one), the watch is unlikely to suffer any damage from normal bangs and knocks that might scratch or dent the watch. It WON'T protect your watch from anything that might crush the case itself, but it does offer substantial protection for 99% of the exterior of the watch, and the necessarily exposed areas are protected by raised features on the case.Not So Good- The integral band is a good witch and a bad witch - you won't have to worry about changing bands, because you can't. Love it or leave it. It's the color it is, and the shape it is, and the size it is. One minus, to me, is the fact that the buckle and perforated strap and are reversed from the normal orientation for someone who is right-handed and wears the watch on their left wrist - that would be about 99% of the population. The perforated end on the BOTTOM/INSIDE side of the watch (with the watch in its normal orientation with the buttons facing your hand) makes it difficult to buckle the strap one-handed. And you can't change it. Minor, but annoying.- Just to throw it out there, it IS bulkier than the bare watch, more noticeable on smaller wrists, and will take up some space on your wrist and under your shirt. You don't get something for nothing.- Not specific to this case but any armored case, you will need to periodically remove the watch and clean it, and the inside of the case. Dust and dirt will collect - nature of the beast.- If you use the standard OEM charger the watch charges fine. If you use a charging dock, the case may stand off enough to prevent charging - including the useful Wireless PowerShare feature of your Samsung phone.Other than the actually minor detractors, it's a very well-designed, quality case which will provide all the protection you need for your pricey (and already pretty tough) Galaxy watch and look great while wearing it.

I have now been wearing this everyday for nearly 4 years (Oct 2021-Apr 2025) and it broke earlier today. On the band just to the right of one of the adjustment holes the material tore. There is still material to the left of the hole, so it is still wearable, but not willing to risk that on a motorcycle or while swimming in a lake.

I bought this protective Spigen case for my Galaxy Watch 4 Classic because I’ve used Spigen cases on my last four cell phones and they do a great job and look great. This case comes in a small box and is wrapped in a small plastic bag. Simple instructions on how to insert your watch into the case are on the side of the box.Installation was quite easy. The side of the watch with the buttons goes in first, and then the remainder of the watch snaps into place. The watch fits snugly and securely in the case. Although the strap can be a bit stiff, it’s easy to adjust it to a comfortable fit on your wrist. What I really like about the strap is that it has a “Smart Lock” loop on it that locks into place and keeps the “tail” of the watchband from sticking out and getting caught on things.The front has a raised bezel that provides extra protection for the face of the watch. I bought the “charcoal gray” model, and I like the gray highlights on the front and the “graphite” patterns on the sides. The side buttons are accessible, but you have to reach in a bit to get to them. I guess that’s to provide the buttons with enough protection in case the side of the watch is struck. On the other side of the front, the watch’s rotating bezel is easily accessible and operable due to a good-sized cutout in the raised bezel of the case.The back of the case allows for easy charging with the case on, and the back of the case is comfortable against my wrist.The diameter of the case is about 50mm, so the watch/case assembly will be a bit big on your wrist, but not as crazy-big as some of the junkier, off-brand “military” style watches they’re peddling all over the Internet these days. I’m an average sized guy, and it seems a good size, good weight and comfortable fit for outdoor activities.
