I’ve been using this Apple Watch screen protector for a couple of weeks now, and it’s honestly great. It fits perfectly, doesn’t interfere with the touch screen, and keeps the display safe from scratches and bumps. I’ve accidentally knocked it against a few things, and the screen stayed totally fine. It’s also really clear—you can barely tell it’s on. Installation was easy too, no bubbles or anything. Definitely worth it if you want to keep your watch looking new.

Everything worked fine until i put my bumper protection back on, which bubbled the protector. Good thing it came with two. Second one went well and I was more careful on putting the bumper back on.

I recently purchased this protector for my new Apple Watch, and have been using it for about 4 months now. Definitely keeps my watch protected from scratches, but the responsiveness not great but okay. If you have a passcode to get into your watch, you’ll find yourself pressing the same key multiple times.
When initially installed, there were no bubbles. But now there is bubbling on the edges which makes the responsiveness worse. At least there is a second one that it comes with. But after 8 months I need to replace it. I’d rather buy a better quality one and be done.

Shape/Contour of these covers is perfect. They fit my Apple Watch without any air gaps. They fit much better than big name covers from just a couple of years ago. Matching clear bumpers are also good. Very easy to install if you take a little time to prep. Canned air helps for last second dust particles.

I love these screen protectors! I got it for the 45mm Apple Watch series 9. Came with an easy alignment tool, and as long as you get all the dust out and start from the center, you can easily get them on without any dust or bubbles (don’t be afraid to lift it up a little bit to get the bubbles out after applying it). They’re definitely not glass and feel like plastic but they don’t scratch super easy and I’d rather have this take a beating over a time and replace them later. Also, touch sensitivity is definitely reduced a little bit, but not enough for me to care. Even had a little bonus. My box had three in it instead of the two like listed!

For the price it was a good purchase. I needed a watch screen protecter urgently, since the one i ordered didnt come in on time. This covered my screen from scratches just fine. Yes the film shows wear and tear but my main screen is unaffected. Its a temporary use product for sure, but if your on a budget it worth it

I was hoping these screen protectors would work for my new watch, and they do...if you don't mind bubbles. So I have already gone through both protectors and both had bubbles. I have wound up removing them and my watch screen is currently unprotected because I need to see my watch without bubbles. Unfortunately for me I wasted money. But you should not. I would not recommend.

The package included two screen protectors, which I bought prior to a new apple watch so I could apply one immediately before wearing. #1, bubbles in the 4 corners, no amount of rubbing with the tool provided could get them out. Tried #2, equally bad, or maybe even worse. I returned it because both were a fail! I would not encourage anyone to purchase.

I installed this on a brand new series 9 out of the box. Got bubbles and it made the touchscreen impossible to use. I tried the second one, and the bubbles were even worse. I followed all the cleaning instructions, use the dust removal sticker. It was a brand new watch, so I know it wasn’t all dirty. A complete waste of $20.

I apologize for the frustration you experienced with our screen protector. Bubbles can indeed hinder touchscreen functionality and overall usability. It's disappointing that the second attempt didn't yield better results despite following the instructions. Your feedback is valuable, and we'll work to improve our product. If you have any other thoughts or need assistance, feel free to reach out! - Carl | Insignia Products

I had to purchase a cover for my watch and even with the so so reviews I grabbed this and allowed the Geek Squad to install. As this was the only one remaining. Within the day, a big bubble/ lift formed and after smoothing it out multiple times, it came right back. I returned it and I upgraded to the Zagg Glass screen and it had smaller bubbles even with the Geek Squad installation.
Le sigh, at least my watch glass is not getting scratched. The zagg screen is better ($29.99) albeit the baby bubbles are making me squirm. Just haven’t seen many people pleased with their screen protectors.
Pass on this one …

Insignia™ - Hybrid Glass Screen Protectors for Apple Watch 45mm (2-Pack)
Insignia’s hybrid glass is one choice in a crucial product category. I don’t have to tell any reader that the Apple watch is expensive. And it just hangs out there strapped onto what is likely to be the first body part to smack an obstacle, scrape across a brick fascia or brace me against a fall. The Insignia protector does a great job at its intended purpose, keeping the screen shielded from the environment. And there is another in the box for my wife’s watch. Nice.
INSTALLATION: It doesn’t get easier. I’ve used a variety of screen protectors over several years. They have been frustrating and perspiration inducing, until the Insignia. The install kit includes cleaning materials like all of the others, but Insignia adds a nifty alignment tool to a glass shield that adheres very reliably to the Apple screen. There is also a scraping tool to squeeze out what few bubbles remain.
PERFORMANCE: What the Insignia shield can’t guarantee is a bubble free adhesion. The included plastic scraper tool does a good job pushing the larger bubbles to the edge. But, a few minor bubbles persist. I find the remaining bubbles to be too small to bother me, and I have a sense they have shrunk some more after a few days. I also can’t predict how much protection the Insignia will provide but it sure seems tough enough to allow for vigorous cleaning of the shield. I love the idea of one more line of defense for my watch.

These fit my Apple Watch 8 and would look invisible but left air bubbles at each of the corners when I installed it. I don't have a lot of practice installing screen protectors. The surface scratched easily within the first month. The touch screen does work with the protector installed. It protects the watch screen and comes with two protectors so I gave it 4 stars.

This is a great product that is super easy to use! I had a screen protector on my watch before but it was a bulky plastic case that looked horrible. I stopped using that plastic thing because it just wasn’t a good product and took away from the sleek looks of the watch. This product however is amazing! It is very thin and you can’t tell that it’s even on the screen. Insignia made the install process so simple and easy that anyone can do stick this to their watch. Everything you need to do apply the screen to your watch is included in the kit. They give you a plastic holder for the watch and the screen protector has a plastic overly that has four holes that line up over the plastic holder. This aligns the screen protector over your watch perfectly. There is no chance of messing this up unless you do not follow the steps.
There are two protectors in this kit and everything is included to protect two watches. I did the two watches in my house and they both came out with no issues and only took a few minutes to do. The first watch did end up with two air bubbles that I have mostly worked out over a 24 hour period. The second watch has a few air bubbles as well, but I’m confident they will work their way out in a day or so.
I really wish I had purchased this watch protector as soon as I received my watch. It’s well worth the cost to add this to your watch to avoid scratching up the watch screen.

Protecting my investment is always top priority for me, and if i can add my own personal touch to it, I consider that an added bonus. This Best Buy brand Insignia screen protector comes with everything you need for a smooth installation. Wipes, cloth, scraper, two screen protectors for your watch, and a watch holder so you get a clean, stable surface to hold your watch in place.
The black bumper that surrounds the screen protector that gives it a more fashionable look. There’s no need to add anything to do, and the watch is able to stand out while being protected.
Instillation was easy due to the face holder that comes in the kit. Insignia really did a great job of supplying everything needed, so you don’t have to buy more in order to get the best out of the screen protector. The scrapper included made it really easy to not have any bubbles on the screen as long as you clean it well with the cloth and wipe beforehand.
My only issue, and it’s a big one is it decreases the sensitivity of the screen for me even though the box indicates it doesn’t. I installed it correctly, but my experience hasn’t been good with it so far.

This product does a good job of protecting my iwatch screen. They are difficult to adhere to the surface of the screen without leaving some bubbling due to the slight curvature of the series 8 surface. Other than that they are of good quality and have been working as advertised.
