First photo was taken as the screen protector was drying and it is normal to sit like that for a few minutes (I usually do about 5 mins.) Last two photos are after it has dried and I pressed down on the edges for them to stick. Be mindful and patience in applying these screens. They are amazing if done properly & are almost invisible. You can’t even tell you have one on. I’ve use this brand before; reordered since I got the new watch. Definitely will be ordering again in the future 👌🏼
I always sweat-it when it comes to applying plastic film or tempered glass shields to my devices. So often they are difficult to apply. When I received this shield and discovered it required a 'wet' application, and then after reading some of the reviews, I was concerned. I went to the website, watched the video twice (the second time while applying the shield), and I was surprised and very pleased with the ease of it all.
I learned from these reviews not to over-wet the shield. Just apply enough of the spray to cover the sides of it and yes, your fingers too. Work on a flat, well-lit surface, and have everything set out before you start. The shield is hard to see once you get it on the watch so you really need to feel around the edges and push it around to ensure that it is precisely on the watch around the corners. Do so quickly as it does start sticking fast (unless you have over-sprayed it!). Once you've done that, then just smooth out the flat surface as instructed and then press down all around the sides to make sure the corners contour to the curvature of the watch. I did that several times during the first five minutes.
It really is very simple as long you as you fully understand the process and prep everything before you start. I had a hairdryer handy but I never had to use it. I thought that leaving the watch off to dry overnight wasn't needed as the shield seemed really solid after just a few minutes, but I left it off overnight anyway. Just to be safe.
I can't even tell that there is a shield on the watch. The clarity (HD quality) of the watch face is identical to what it was prior to applying the shield. The touch-responsiveness is the same, too. I use a microfiber cloth to polish and clean the surface periodically although that is seldom needed.
I'm not going to bother getting a bumper case to protect the sides of the watch although I see no reason why any case wouldn't fit onto the watch in addition to this shield. Bumper cases detract from the beauty of the watch and add weight and bulk to it. This shield will likely not protect the watch if it is dropped at height face down onto a hard surface, but that's why I have purchased the Apple Care+ warranty extender. Everyday kind of scratches, however, should be prevented. Time will tell. If there is any problem, I will update this review.
I couldn't be happier with this shield and highly recommend it.
Worked great for me. I was worried this would be hard to apply but surprisingly it wasn’t. I watched a YouTube video and just followed each step. You can’t even tell it’s on and I didn’t experience any air bubbles! I’m very happy with my purchase!
I really like these. When applied correctly they look great and hold up for a really long time. These are specifically made for the new Apple Watch 4 so they actually cover the screen which is great. Good tip is when the protector is almost dry use a hair dryer to heat the protector just a little bit and evaporate the rest of the moisture, then press the corners down firmly. IF the corners dont stick then they aren't dry enough
I was a little hesitant after reading some of the reviews about the edges not sticking, but that's genuinely not a problem if you apply it correctly. It's a strange application because it comes with a water-based solution that you have to spray on the screen protector (and your hands) before peeling it off and applying. The edges don't stick immediately because you have to either 1) wait 10 minutes for them to dry a little and become tacky or 2) lightly blow dry it to speed up the tackiness. But after that, they fold over and stick completely. And it's recommend you apply it at night so you can let it sit and dry completely while you sleep (which I did). You just really should go to the website that comes on instructions to watch the how-to-apply video. It was so helpful-- I followed it the whole times I was applying mine. I'm really impressed! (In the image, you can see a speck of dust in the upper right corner of the watch but that was my own fault for not noticing it, not a fault of the protector.) Would definitely recommend!

I had several small scratches on the face of my new Apple Watch Series 4. The armor suit was recommended in a forum post to make the scratches less noticeable and provide protection. I was not sure if it would be worth it since I did not want a screen protector that would be seen. After applying the armor suit, the scratches are less noticeable and I do not notice the screen protector. Very impressed! When I replace the watch some day, I will install an armor suit right away! It was easy to install per the instructions.
Takes a little time to install but very easy to manage
This screen protector is exactly like the screen protectors used for earlier smartphones where you have to wet the adhesive part and squeegee the bubbles out. It fits perfectly for my 40mm 4 Series watch and goes almost right up to the edges as well. It is a good buy for being one of the few Apple Watch 4 screen protectors out right now. (The bubbles are still visible in photo from just putting it on).
Was really easy to follow instructions and install.
I rarely write reviews. I bought a different brand that claimed edge to edge and It was not the case. I came across this product and it does go edge to edge and you really can not tell it’s on the watch. I have tendency to bump my watch sometimes and this product saved my investment over the weekend when I bumped my 3 week old series 4 watch on a textured wall. The film was damaged but the watch was safe. My only negative is there is only two films in the box.
