Not quite ready for the shelf.

First, I like the look and feel of the case and band. I'm used to wearing a big G-Shock as part of my outdoor gear and this felt similar to me. But there are a few things that taken together will mean I'm returning this version.
1. It's $70 and it's plastic. This is not enough by itself to make me return the case (I knew the material and price going into this and was willing to pay it).
2. The digital crown works for "pressing" but rarely works for "scrolling." I mean most of the time you scroll and absolutely nothing happens. I don't use the digital crown much but I'd still rather it worked.
3. The fit is passable but on mine the bottom of the face is a snug fit but there's a slight gap at the top where the case comes together (hardly noticeable).
4. The piece used to secure the extra band length is hard plastic and rubs against your skin. The band feels great but that plastic piece rubs my skin raw throughout the day. I guess you could cover it with a piece of tape. I flipped the thing around and used it backwards and it was a lot better. At least that side doesn't have a sharp edge.
I really want this case to work and I think it will when they iron out a few issues. I'll be a buyer when they do! But for now I don't think you can throw away features and comfort for $70.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Update: 2nd Case was better
June 5, 2015
Well, I didn't see a way to edit or delete my original review, so I'll do it here. I switched out my black Epik watch case for an identical model today at Best Buy. The digital crown now works fine and so does the favorites/apple pay button. The fit is much better with no gaps. Unfortunately, my 4th issue above is still an problem but I think I will live with a redneck fix or maybe the company will send me a better solution. I think I'll keep it now that everything works.
