My review on the Watch Dots trying them on the Apple Watch Series 3 LTE. Just a warning and do not make the same mistake as I did - these do not work for the Apple Watch 3 LTE. This is not CLEARLY stated on their product page and is hidden in the FAQ. They refused to refund me and told me I had to wait and buy the XL version which is a load of crap. They did offer me a discount after telling me all those for the XL. They should have apologized and offered it free... I would have accepted that.


I normally support small business and awesome ideas that especially ones that are of simple solution. However this is garbage business practice and poor customer service on Watch Dots end.

There are some forum members who applied the Watch dots and they made the Digital Crown look terrible. They don't even fit Appropriately or hide the red dot that well. I personally wouldn't invest $10.00 for these. And I heard the shipping times are abysmal.

Yup makes it look worse. I’ve actually gotten used to the red dot. It’s out of sight if worn in the left hand anyway. WatchDots are a total ripoff.

I think they sell the dots for the Apple Watch Sport not the SS version. From the top of their website.

The Original Digital Crown and Side Button
Style Accessory for Apple Watch™ Sport

Hello from the WatchDots team. We just wanted to apologize for all the confusion that is being generated on the internet concerning WatchDots.

We are currently marketing WatchDots to customize the color of your digital crown and side button. NOT to cover the digital crown on the Series 3 with LTE. As you said, yes we are currently developing WatchDots XL and yes, you will be able to cover the red crown with it.

As we stated in the e-mail we will provide a MAJOR discount for you. That will basically let you have the WatchDots XL for free. We couldn't provide a refund because you couldn't return our product since you already used it. As I said, we will basically give you WatchDots XL for free. (You will only have to pay for shipping $1-$2)

Thank you and have a nice day!

I’m more angry at Apple for putting the stupid red dot on it in the first place. It’s just incredibly stupid... Most consumers don’t want a gaudy red dot just to show that they have the latest and most expensive version; and those that do are just douchebags. Also, as someone else mentioned, people can easily spoof theirs to make it look like they have it, too. I’m actually surprised Apple even did this. It just seems to go against their design philosophy.

I have requested my refund via email to all of your email addresses. I am not interested in dots that don't cover the series 3 red dot. Since you have not shipped after 2 weeks all I want is a refund. But you have not responded nor refunded my money.

If I have some WatchDots en route can they be canceled and replaced with an order of WatchDots XL?

How do we email Watch Dots for the discount? Before my order finally came my emails to them kept bouncing back as undeliverable and they did not respond to my tweet. I was specifically trying to ask if the dots would fit my S3 SS.
