“Do I really need this? I know that it's only $20, but... ...Okay, I have a long rectangular white box sitting next to me which should contain the " Apple Watch™ 42mm Stainless Steel Case - Milanese Loop" that I ordered two days ago. I have been reading the reviews here and still cannot decide whether I actually need a screen protector - and this screen protector in particular. My experience with Zagg has been mixed. On my first iOS device - an iPad Air 2 - it shattered when I tried to lift the bottom left hand corner and I just threw it away. Zagg worked fine on my iPhone 6 Plus and I just received the Zagg protector for my iPad Pro, which currently has a Tech Armor protector, and will be replaced tomorrow. So I trust the brand, and they do have excellent customer service, but they can be a bit dodgy at times - if you click a visual link to the product on Zagg's site, for instance, you get to the dreaded 404 page. I want to take this thing out of the box and just go at it. Is the Sapphire Crystal "good enough" or not? I know that I'll get into the box sooner or later – very much like the kid at Christmas who knows that there is no way that a box that small could contain the Encyclopedia Britannica but dying to see what's in there, nonetheless. Just need three answers - one from someone who high-fived it and couldn't live without the peace of mind that if affords, from someone who hates it with a good valid argument of why it's unnecessary and finally a two-three star reviewer who can make arguments for or against. Thanks.”

I always spend the money to protect my devices so I got this for the Apple watch. It would not stick and got messed up and ended up in the garbage. I know three people with Apple watches and none had protectors. Not one problem with scratches or damage so it really does not seem necessary. Save your money.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Cheaper and more reliable options out there, keep searching.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have the Sapphire crystal on my watch and I am pretty active. I have now scratches so far after wearing it 4 months. Got our son the one without the sapphire crystal so that is why he chose the screen protector.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I personally wear it at work every day. I do a lot of machine work . No problem without it at all.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I've also used Zagg products on my iPhone & iPad - with good results. However, they had flat screens and it was easy to install the screen protectors in a way that they'd stay on, look good and last. Dagga's screen protector for the Apple Watch comes flat but has to "hold" to the curvature of the Watch's screen edges. Not an easy feat, and one of the biggest reasons this screen protector is not something I'd recommend. I've now tried 2 and haven't had much luck with either of them. My Watch screen has been naked for a couple months now & I work in a high stress, semi-industrial environment. So far, no scratches!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I have one in mine and I do like the piece of mind. When I was moving some furniture in my house, my watch rubbed against the wall and scuffed the screen protector, my motorcycle jacket has zippers on the sleeves and they scratched against the screen protector and it protected in both cases just fine. The down side is that my sweat shirt sleeve caused the protector to peel up and it attracted lint at the same time, so now it looks bad and needs replaced. I will replace it, just for the piece of mind, but still not a perfect product by any stretch. I recommend it, just be prepared to go through more than one. I also recommend using a hair dryer when you install in to get it to stick on the rounded edges.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It took me 3 different units trails before the corner edges would lay flat, and that was with Geek Squad. Will this offer true shatter or chip protection? No. If you impact your screen pretty good this will not prevent damages. It is more for surface scratches. It is not an inconvenience to have it , but at the end of the day you bang you screen hard enough at that one precise angle and point it is gonna break/shatter/chip. Do i feel it was a waste of money? No not really. Do I feel more comfortable with it on? Yes, but not that significant of a difference to me. I work my unit 3 weeks before I purchased one.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes it is a good idea to buy it. It will protect the face of your watch from getting scratch.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If I had the Sapphire, glass, I wouldn't have bought the Zagg. Right now it serves as additional peace of mind only, but I don't think it's going to do a lot for a direct impact.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi cider guy, This is not a glass screen protector, this is a traditional flexible film screen protector, I bought it and installed it my self (Very carefully) and was very happy with the results. and after 3 days i accidentally hit a corner wall and i was glas to have the screen protector and saw a smudge on it but it recovered in 12 hours and now i don't even see a spot. hope that helps
