screen protectors - naysayers stay out

[rexboe]

Yes just got here today and went on easy enough.

Anyone have experience with full skin wraps that covers the entire watch?

 

[silvermx5]

The Spigen does NOT cover the curved parts of the glass, however, its comes pretty close. In fact, these are the only protectors which I have see which actually come as far as possible, before the screen actually starts to curve. Most protectors come WAY short of the glass (they are literally just a small horrible square), but the Spigen comes as close as possible.

I haven't tried the Zagg wet install ones however, I have used the Skinomi ones - which are pretty good (if you don't mind the 'orange peel' effect which ALL wet install protectors end up with).

Just installed Zagg to my AS AW2 that's just arrived. Great horrible instructions (lousy micro paper with instructions) Zagg website instructions of no use.
Wet install. The screen protector protects the whole screen plus the curved edges, it ends 2mm before the aluminium edge.

Bought a packet of Spigen Crystal Clear protectors for my 42mm Space Grey watch - I think the protector looks pretty good (you can barely see if when looking at the watch).

Just wondering which band do you have on?

Just wondering which band do you have on?

It's a Luxebell watch band - search for it on Amazon (which is where I bought mine).

EDIT : Actually, here's the link :

Just put mine on, how did you get the sides/corners to stay down? Just keep pressing it?

Thanks, I was able to get it.

Now time to set up the watch and start using it! I've been looking at it in the box for a week!

Series 2?

 

[kapolani]

Just installed some Armorsuit.

Very, very easy install. Watched the vid and it went smoothly.

Edges are holding down well. Will let it dry over night.

Very pleased with the results so far.

Series 0 original watch

Logic: Buy durable device. Don't waste $14 on unnecessary purchase.

Everyone must be Trying to scratch their expensive watch right?

What was that word for those events that happen that you don't plan on? Oh yes, they are called Accidents.

I have the aluminium Series 2 and I'm in a job that means there's a chance it might get scratched, so I'd be a idiot not to put some protection on it. If I'm going out for a meal then sure I can take the case I have off it, but to say it's an unnecessary purchase in general even for those with the SS watch is a foolish comment. Especially for such a small amount of money.

I ordered screen protector and watch case from eBay because I don't trust Sapphire glass is strong enough from scratches.

Any recommendations for a screen protector when my series 2 AW is going to be in the water on a very regular basis? (I do aquatic PT)

 

[deeddawg]

Sapphire is almost impossible to scratch.

Yeah, not so much. It's tough, yes, but "almost impossible to scratch" is an exaggerated view of its durability.

I got my AW2 on Friday and immediately put a Zagg InvisibleShield on it. I swim every weekday and after my first swim with the watch this morning the Zagg InvisibleShield has gone! No Idea where, probably still in the pool somewhere.

I don't think there's a way around this, I just don't think they'll ever stay on in the water. I hope someone can prove me wrong.

try an ArmorSuit HD Clear protector, ive been using one for over a year on my original apple watch 0 gen , i never used it in water but i think it would be fine in water too, please get it and let us know how it did in water, the zagg has been reported to come off even without water contact ,a medicore product at best. the ArmorSuit is the best protector for the apple watch

I have looked at the ArmorSuit HD but i'm in the UK and it's not available here. Shipping from the US ArmourSuit website is $20 which is just crazy.

 

[kapolani]

Installed the armorsuit type film and it has been holding up very well after a month or so.

Install was easy. Can't really tell it's there unless really looking for it.

Would definitely recommend.

So I may be about to get my first Apple Watch and I want a full screen protector. My wife has had a Watch since the start of this year and she went through a lot of brands. Her biggest issue was the corners coming up after just a few weeks or even days.

Does anyone have some suggestions for brands that seem to be decent on staying attached all around the edges while still giving full screen protection?

Put technical armor. Normal protection.

I had Armor Suit initially but did not like how it held up at all after a few weeks. Would have impressions in the protector along with a small bubble that never went away after installation. Took it off and ordered Ghost Armor that i have on my ipad/phone. We will see how that one is in a few weeks.

My armor suit arrived today, hopefully I will like it! My watch does get wet fairly regularly so we'll see how it holds up.

Ghost Armor case friendly version is not good. Way too small and do not like the feel of the screen protector edge on screen when my finger runs across it. Going without a screen protector for now and plan on returning the ghost armor.
