View attachment 706081 Somehow I managed to scratch my SS watch face on the bottom left corner. I thought the sapphire crystal on the watch wouldn't scratch, that was a huge selling point for me. I have read about some kind of coating on the face. Is there a way to fix this?
Have you asked Apple about it? Sapphire shouldn't scratch like that...
Honestly I have no idea. Anything is possible. I work in an office, so my wrist isn't banging around a lot. But I can be a bit clumsy at times although I have never scratched or broken the face of my phones. I have no idea what silica carbides are. I am sure whatever I did is my fault, I just wasn't aware that you can scratch the face. I have had a sapphire crystal face Tag Heuer for over 15 years and have never scratched it.@Relentless Power Thanks for the info above. I agree Sapphire can definitely scratch but as you mentioned very hard to do as most watches should usually see your typical bumps from doors, tables etc...
@jasperk99 have you come in contact with any of what @Relentless Power mentioned above that you didn't mention?

That actually looks like hairline crack. Scratches are usually straight and that looks a little 'spidered'.

Keep in mind that any water going through the crack will destroy your OLED display. OLED's are extremely water sensitive. You must be VERY careful around any water.Brought it to Apple they want 249 to fix. I'm going to let it be for now, perhaps when the Apple watch 3 comes out, I'll get it
It could be a crack, I am going to go to the apple store after work, and see what they say.
I think it is cracked and NOT scratched. OP should edit title of thread if so.What did they say when you asked them how can Sapphire scratch like that?

There is a way to find out for sure. Put it in a glass of water for 30 minutes.Looks like a crack to me.....
