Fingerprint magnet or just me?

So I have wiped the face of my SS 42mm more times in a week than my Iphone in 9 months.

People have complained about the oleophobic coating scratching. I can't see that mine even has a coating. Maybe that's a good thing.

So am I greasy fingering it wrong?

Your not alone! I have to wipe my fingerprint off the watch EVERYTIME I touch it! Lol
It is a fingerprint magnet and I don't like seeing fingerprints on it!

Yes, I've noticed this as well. I find myself wiping the screen with a microfiber or my t-shirt often.

Do they make a microfiber t-shirt? Maybe I need one of those

agreed. Is there a chance that after the feedback of the coating getting scratched maybe they removed it? If there is a coating on mine then it appears to show fingerprints very very easy.

Buy yourself some white gloves.

Guess what happens when you put your phone in your pocket? It cleans your phone!

How many times a day do you put your watch in your pocket?

I do wipe the watch more then my phone but really only because I look at my arm and see that its smudged.

Yea I usually just wipe my wrist on the back of my shirt a few times a day to get the smudges off at work. I have a cloth at home that I use before I put it on the charger at night.

On the positive side, it's much easier to clear than the iPhone : I just swipe it on the t-shirt or if it's really dirty I wash it with a bit a soap.

I clean mine all the time. I looked at my iPhone and it has smudges all over it too, so I definitely think it's because I look at it on my wrist and see the smudge rather than it being more fingerprint-prone. Easy to clean though.

After a day at work it'll be pretty dirty. I work in produce at a grocery store, so think rotten fruit, dust and dirt lol. I'll just rinse it off under some tap water when I get home amd BOOMS it's back to looking brand new. I don't even have to scrub it or anything.
