Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My son bought me a series 3 for my birthday and I barely wore it because it was uncomfortable and I absolutely hate that it's easily noticeable. That's right, I can't stand the thin dinky bands that attach near the bottom of the watch's frame and make it pop out more than it already does. But, I decided I was taking this watch - come hell or high-water - on my deployment, and bought this watch band because the environment can be brutal on niceties watches. I really didn't consider anything else with this band other than it was an all-in-one "case and band". I hate that the watch's back isn't flat, the sensor housing is dome shaped. So before I got this band I either didn't wear the watch (sorry son ... ), or I wore the watch too loose to use any of the non-watch essentials or I wore it tight enough to work but it indented my wrist causing discomfort. Either way, I never wore the watch for any length of time. This watch band/case fills in the area around the sensor/charging dome and increases the wearable surface area making it significantly more comfortable to wear; I can now wear the watch 24/7 taking it off every couple days to charge. I love that this band has the *cheapest imaginable* appearance! Man, do I love that the watch just doesn't stick out like a funny rounded-edge square sitting on top of my wrist. I mean I guess some people like swinging their crap around like "hey look at me", but you know what? When you're traveling, bringing attention to yourself is the last thing you want to do because then you look like a great target. Heck, that pretty much goes for anywhere you go come to think of it. If I ever get mugged, I really don't think anyone will think twice about the watch I'm wearing. Well, that goes without saying, if there ever was a mugger nearby I'd get looked at like, hard-pass bruh - next! And this watch band goes with that look just fine. // This is the only reason for 3-star style // The watch is installed from the bottom of the band's watch housing - makes sense right? So the watch doesn't keep popping out. I'm on the fence however, with the band's stiff rubbery material - It's a bit stiffer than I'm used to but this is quite insignificant. The *only* negative thing I have to say about the watch case (and maybe it's specific to the series 3) is that the crown sits flush with the outer edge and is nearly inaccessible. Meaning, there's no easy way to turn the dial; I have to use a fingernail to catch the dial's textured edge. Not a big deal really because I only ever used the rotating crown to turn volume up/down, but still.
