4 problems with the Series 4 44mm protector

It's a bit ironic that the Zagg Glass Protector for the Series 4 44 has 4 issues. : )
One of the reasons I went to the Series 4 44mm is for the larger screen size. The Glass Elite protector has a black painted border that is small than the visible portion of the 44mm screen so you can't see the edges of the display unless you angle your watch. (yes, it's centered.) When on correctly, the border covers the right and left side of the white clockface. Not sure why the border is painted. It's slight but still...
Second, once installed, the glass has a small overhanging ledge/lip on all four sides that can easily catch on things and pull up on the protector. While mine hasn't yet, I'm assuming this is part of what causes the edges to break so easily.
Third- Like many, the screen sensitivity is thrown off. Mostly, it is less sensitive and takes a firmer or repeated tap to activate though the lower corners on mine became more sensitive and would trigger the corner assigned app when trying to navigate elsewhere.
Fourth and final issue is install and the bubbles. I have successfully installed glass and HD shields on four iPads, two Apple Watches, a couple of Kindles, our kid's Fitbits, etc... so I'm not a novice to this process. This screen, due to the curve and hardness of the glass make it very difficult to get any air bubbles out. It does not come with a scraper tool as the pressure from those can break the glass but, without that, it's very difficult to get the bubbles out. Catch-22...
So other than design, appearance and application, it's great. I've only had it installed for two days, so I can't speak to the durability issues other mention but I'll be replacing it with a standard shield, so I may never know...

ZAGG - InvisibleShield Glass Curve Elite Screen Protector for Apple Watch Series 4 44mm - Clear is garbage at best! I rarely write such a scathing review, but there is NOTHING good about this product and at $39.99, it is a total waste of money.
I installed this screen protector as I have had my Apple 4 watch for about 6 months and noticed a lot of micro scratches and wanted to cover them up and protect it at the same time. With that same, by the time I put it on the charger for the night it had already cracked at the edge. On top of the 85 miles I have to drive each way to my local store, this was a total waste of money and time.
Now I have to deal with Zagg's lame exchange policy wich costs me $9.99 each time to get their limetime warranty exchange. $50 every 6-hours of protection... total garbage, totally not worth it!
PROS
- NONE!
CONS
- Price
- Protection is poor at best
- Lifetime warranty is a joke at $9.99 per replacement

This is my second one and with a little bump on glass or anything it breaks. If I can find another just to cover the top of my watch I would. I’m keeping it because of the warranty.

I originally purchased the $39.99 Zagg screen protector from a Best Buy in Omaha, NE on 6/19/19. The installation fee was $15. It cracked within a week of use and I wasn’t hard on it at all. I have a desk job. I had my cracked screen protector replaced on 6/29/19 at a different Best Buy store in NE closer to my hometown. Once again, I had a cracked screen protector on 7/7/19, after reaching in for a bag of salad at the grocery store. It was within the 15 day installation window so I could take it back to be replaced (again), however I got my money back on the $39.99 purchase price of the original glass screen protector and the $14.99 Installation Fee. Neither of the store associates at either Best Buy store seemed comfortable or confident in the installation process. I want to take the best care of my Apple Device, but it won’t be with this product.

Installed perfectly.After a couple of days started to bubble on the outer edge.Seems like it moves?One small tap and ‘Boom’Glass breaks at the top.Not worth contacting zag because that want you to pay $10.Waste of time.Think I’ll go to amazon and buy other brands.

I take very good care of my IWatch. On day two I woke up and the top left-hand corner was cracked. I did not bang it I don’t know what happened but it was broken. The following day that upper right hand corner was cracked and finally on the fifth date the bottom right hand corner cracked all the way across. I did get a replacement but I have not gone to get it replaced. Afraid it will crack too. So I’ll wait at least a week before I get it replaced hope they don’t break it while trying to put it on my iWatch. I’ve never had a problem with items I’ve purchased from BestBuy. So this my only 1-Star review.

I just purchased the screen protector yesterday and I’ve only had it less than 36 hours and the screen has shattered. I accidentally bumped it on the wall and the bottom of the screen has completely shattered. For a product that cost $40 I would’ve thought that it would’ve been quite a bit more durable. It looks like I will have to order a replacement and hope that the second one I received is not shatter.

I made the mistake of purchasing this product when I picked up my watch. I followed all of the instructions to the letter and within a couple of days the shield had already cracked. It was never exposed to any irregular treatment etc. Yes, there is a warranty, but they charge you $9 to ship you the new one. It's a complete rip off.

Put it on exactly as instructed. Within a few weeks it started cracking on top right corner and bottom right corner. The watch has not been hit by any object. It has multiple cracks in those two areas.

You have to make sure you follow the directions to keep bubbles from forming. Once you lift the top corners and squeeze out the bubbles this shield is awesome. Can’t tell it’s there!

I definitely don’t recommend this product, I gave them 1 star but if could I would give them 0 stars. On the first week the glass broke twice, I went to get it replaced with no problem and next week it broke again. I already had it replaced 4 times and every time I go to get it replaced I have to pay $5. I am certain that it cracks randomly on its own.

Spent more on a screen protector for my iWatch 4 and after 3 days the edge had cracks that spread quickly. Has a lifetime warranty so for $5.99 Zagg sent me another. Took 2 days for it to break. Won’t be sending in for another. Going with one that doesn’t wrap around the screen because I think it catches on things and then cracks. Also hard to get all the bubbles out.

Had this in my watch for about 2 weeks before it broke. It did it’s job and saved my watch face from breaking. I was easily able to get it replaced without any hassle. The screen comes with a cleaning wipe, cloth wipe, and a template to set on the watch to easily install. A few air bubbles were left behind but after 2 days they were gone.

Broke the first one putting it on, my bad. Broke the second one two days later. Very weak glass.
I bought a pzoz apple watch protector that protects the whole watch and it was 9 bucks.

Fits well, looks great, trust it to protect face of my watch. However, seems to crack easily at the edges when bumped there. Too expensive for that. I'm pretty careful with the watch. Had it for 2 months, protector cracked at the corner while reaching inside refrigerator. My wife had same product, she's been through two of these in about 3 mos. Good news is the watch screen remained undamaged in all instances. Needs to not be so fragile at the edges. Also I noticed that it does interfere with the touch response on the screen, requiring repeated touches in some areas, sometimes with no response at all - frustrating. Thought that it might be the apps being glitchy until I removed the broken protector - without it touch response is amazing (had never used the watch without the protector). So trying to decide if I want this product on my watch again or not.

Another example of why I hate screen protectors

I hate screen protectors and these ones were no exception to my hatred for applying screen protectors. Against my girlfriend's advice I went ahead and purchases these screen protectors for our new apple watches.
I knew they were way overpriced but I wanted to have some protection. Unfortunately turned out to be a disaster to apply to just one watch. We gave up during the process with bubbles constantly appearing underneath the protector after each attempt. We cleaned the screen so much that the clean polish surface was so crystal clear that not a micron of dust existed on the watch and of course somehow...bubbles appear. Also you can only attempt to put them on so many times before it becomes hopeless and you might as well go back to the store and exchange for a new one...and to be honest...I don't want to deal with that. Feels like you get lucky or you struggle with it for an hour and eventually give up and for 40 dollars that just ridiculous.
Going slightly off this product, we bought screen protectors from this company in the past for our smart phones and we had such issues with them before. They cracked within a couple of months which was shocking from a carpeted fall. Now we just buy screen protector from other online stores for 70% cheaper and they last longer. I know I tried to cash in on their "warranty" which sure...the replaced screen protector are free but comes with a ridiculous shipping charge.
In my experience...I would stay away from these screen protectors, period. I won't lie, I'm not the greatest for putting on screen protectors but it shouldn't feel like playing the lotto once you put the screen protector on the watch and hoping the odds are you don't get bubbles for such a high price point. Going to return these ones I purchased.
