There is a Company known as 'Watch Dots', but their product is questionable based off various posts on here.

Okay thanks. I’m seeing something on Amazon - I’ll have to see if that’s the same company.

It fits mostly well. I just have a problem with the company itself. Took 3 weeks for them to get my dots shipped to me. No notice on their website it was back ordered. Also, I got another package from them today unannounced for no reason. I only ordered once. I wasn’t charged twice. I am happy I have more replacement dots. However, it just goes to show how mismanaged they are.

The Watch Dots XL covers things perfectly. It’s easy to apply— just lightly rest the sticky page on the crown until it’s centered well, then push down and lift the non-dot sheet off.

My only concern is the poor customer support when I had ordered the small dots just before the XLs were released. They were terrible at responding and it took forever to get my order. Hopefully they have learned from some of the negative comments posted— the product itself is great.

They were not selling Watchdots for the AW3 at the time you and I ordered. We made the mistake of thinking they were for the AW3.

Use misunderstand. I ordered the XL when they came out. I got them a month later. Then two weeks later I got another set of XL for no reason what so ever.

Would someone post pictures of the AW 3 with a dot cover? I have the gray Edition, and frankly I can't see any problem wit the red crown. Perhaps the red looks more muted on the Edition than on the Sports model. It really seems rather discreet on my watch.

Thank you. I did check it out on Amazon. Some people actually put red crown covers on their watches so people will think it's a Series 3. That's really funny!
