Having a helluva time remove a TPU screen protector off a AW.
Cannot even lift a edge with a plastic tool within the edge of screen to case.
Pre-Warming with a blow dryer

Any tips on how to get it off or how to at least get the edge started
 
I don't think there was adhesive in this....thinking it was just 2 static cling type....but it's down pretty good....
I'll be it a shot with tape but the bond is pretty good and I can't even make out a leading edge from screen-case.
 
It would be visible if it’s a plastic film. Are you sure there is a protector on it?
 
It is. I recall I was so impressed with how it laid down and fit, I even put on my S5 Ceramic,which I don't even wear much . It's on.....just can't even get an edge started or even see an edge to work on.

Wow, sounds like a great fit though lol
 
Take your watch to someplace that does phone screen repairs
Sometimes, all it takes is another pair of eyes.

Okay that’s odd. I always got my tpu protectors off of my Garmin watches with tape. I just taped it on top and then it came off very easily. Have you tried it already?
