5.0 out of 5 starsTwelve South Fails to Disappoint
Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2017
Upon ordering Twelve South's arm band for the Apple Watch, I was a bit cautious as they really are the only company selling this type of product right now. I had nothing to compare to, and purchased on a whim. Quality, comfort, and ease-of-use are the three words I would choose to best describe this wonderful product.
I work two physically demanding jobs all day, from 8am to 9pm, both of which have constant contact with my hands and wrists. I searched for an armband to use with my Apple Watch to reduce scratching, cracking, or any damage which would occur during my day to day use; while still being able to wear the device to accurately keep track of my activity data.
Directly after delivery, I used Twelve South's ActionSleeve immediately the following several work days. Throughout the 13 hours each day, I found this band extremely comfortable to wear. The ActionSleeve didn't hinder my arm movement or cause any irritation by its material. As far as quality goes, I couldn't be more impressed with this product. From the Velcro and the buckle, to the little slot you insert your watch into, every inch of this product was well thought out and designed with the end user in mind. Putting on an taking off the ActionSleeve is extremely easy. Because of this, quick adjustments aren't bothersome or tedious.
Aside from my 13 hour work days, running with this product is even better. Due to the quality, the arm band stood in place while my feet were pounding into the pavement. No slippage or pushing the band back up your arm. Most importantly, your Apple Watch stays secure inside of the built-in "case", while the heart rate sensor goes to town pumping out those BPM readings for you without being obstructed by the arm band.
Twelve South really nailed it with this product. I wasn't expecting much, but ended up being extremely impressed with the overall quality, comfort, and ease-of-use the ActionSleeve offers.
