Hello, like many of us, my new Apple Watch Series 10 is arriving tomorrow, and I'm considering getting a proper screen protector for it. My Series 4 held up pretty well, aside from some noticeable scratches on the screen. I found this one from Spigen on Amazon. Is it any good?

If not, what brand/screen protector do you guys recommend?

I always buy cheap packs, with 3-6 protectors. Because I’m not so great in applying screen protectors 😅

For my Garmin that will retire tomorrow I have one from ‘brotect’, it’s a 3D one. But brotect has super weird protectors for Apple Watch. So now I got ‘Savvies’ (not 3D) om Amazon and a pack cheap unbranded ones from Amazon (they are 3D).

The Brotect one on my Garmin is almost invisible and it’s on my watch since January. The protector still looks new. Also all the bubbles, there were 50+ I think, disappeared within 24 hours.

Those Spigen protectors are probably good, but I'd recommend getting a pack that comes with more protectors. Since they are soft plastic they tend to chip, get dented and just generally look bad after a while, so it's nice to have more of them to throw on whenever you feel the need. I went through like 6 over the lifespan of my Series 4.

The curved watch face is hard on the screen protector. They peel at the corner because they get caught on long sleeve shirts, they don't stick well, they get lost inside sleeve,... the complain goes on.

My Garmin watch has a curved (and round) display and I applied it in January and it still looks the same as when I put it on. So I hope it will work on my Apple Watch as well.

I've bought and used armoursuit for years.... and that's what i ordered and have ready to go on my new watch tomorrow.

they look great at the start... can't even tell but they do tend to start lifting at the corners or edges after a while (and i sleep with mine so i'm assuming the rubbing it under the pillow... and it's worse in the winter with long sleeves running over it). anyways... all that to say.... ya... have extras on had for when it starts looking yucky!
