Important: WATCH THE VIDEO included in the Amazon listing before (and as) you’re installing it and you’ll be golden! I bought a “used, like new” 45mm Apple Watch 8 and didn’t realized for at least a month that it had a screen protector on it. (Haha! This was presumably a returned item and the previous buyer left the screen protector on it when returning.) I am constantly busy doing all kinds of stuff, including some pretty serious home handyman types of things, and after two months I suddenly realized I should’ve taken my watch off prior to starting a project where I’d be digging my hand around in a tight space, needing to feel my way around. I scratched it. That’s the day that led to me realizing the screen protector on my watch was made of this soft material. (Prior to that I assumed it was a glass cover.) I had scratched the screen protector…bummer…but it appeared the watch itself was fine! I was SO thankful. I opted to leave it on because it wasn’t awful, the screen was still reacting fine to the touch, and I figured it’d still offer protection until a new one arrived. Went to bed later that night and awoke the next morning to discover the scratches on my screen protector had VANISHED! I was seriously impressed. I couldn’t even tell where the scratches had been and the few tiny bubbles that had showed up had also disappeared. Another month passed by and, lo and behold, I found myself suddenly reaching into a small crevice without even thinking about my watch. Dumb, right? Well, yeah, but this time I must’ve caught the edge of the screen protector as I was pulling my hand out. Shoot. I had peeled back the entire right edge of it nearly 1/4”. I tried to stick it back down but it had gotten dirty underneath and no longer adhered. But still no damage to my screen! I wore it with a peeled up edge for maybe 10 days until this one arrived (it was still reactive, still offering protection, but the peeling was obvious and it needed replacing.) After much research, I fully believe this item from Amazon is the brand that was on my watch when I got it. If this one offers the same great protection the previous one did, I am sold! I’m thankful I have a whole box of them in case they don’t last as long as the first, but I have been super lucky twice now; I plan to be more careful and hope to get 6+ months out of this one. Time will tell if it holds up & I’ll post an update immediately if it doesn’t.Regarding installation: Watch the video posted in the photos on the Amazon listing! Some people complain about it not coming with installation instructions, but the Amazon listing very clearly advises buyers to watch the video!! (The only difference I noticed was that the first step is remove the plastic from the foam block. This has changed!! Mine did not come with a *foam* block. The block to hold the watch is like a rubbery silicone which has no plastic to remove; it is ready to go and grips both the surface as well as the watch. It’s not “sticky”, but it keeps the watch from slipping around during installation.) I watched the full video before installation, then I played it again, step-by-step, and paused at each step as I did it. It went on perfectly and took less than 5 minutes. (I expect next time will be faster; I just didn’t want to mess it up.) It looks and feels just like my old one, the screen is reacting to my touch absolutely perfectly, and I love that it covers to within 1-2mm of the edge. It even wraps over the curved edge a bit so I love that the curved part is protected as well. If you’re concerned about installation, follow instructions and watch the video as I did. There was never really an opportunity to install it incorrectly or end up with bubbles as long as I followed the instructions.Great product so far! I’m not easy on my phone or watches so I’ll be putting this thing to the test. I did also purchase a snap-on, harder cover to pop on when I’m working with things like concrete blocks and heavier, sharper items more likely to crack or more seriously scratch my screen, but this should hold up for everyday use.If you’re expecting this to protect your screen from cracks due to a hard hit against an edge or from dropping it onto a hard surface, this isn’t the item for you. If you just want to protect it from the regular, everyday bumps against little stuff, this will do.
