I am looking for a rugged watch strap for my Series 3 Apple Watch. Preferably it would protect the case and screen. I am in the UK, although it doesn't necessarily need to be sold just in the UK. Any suggestions please?

Thank you.

I use the Catalyst. It’s a very rugged strap and case. It actually completely covers the Digital Crown as well and uses an external crown that’s built in (although ECG function will not be useful with this setup). The screen protector is sold separately. Very pricey for what it is but I feel completely confident in the durability and protection of my watch and my job demands total protection. This case is also waterproof.

Thank you for your reply, but my Watch is a 42” Series 3 not a 4, so this wouldn’t fit my watch. Also, I’m from the UK, so might not be available in my country.

No problem. BTW, It does come in a version for Series 3 42mm. I just linked what I use.

You do have Amazon in the UK, yes?

Thank you everyone for your replies. I looked on eBay and have bought a second hand one for £30.
