Scratched watch face

Same problem with my Apple Watch-scratches on it for no reason I can imagine, and the watch is so beautiful that I would like to get the scratches buffed out of the face of the watch. Is that possible?

I also do have apple watch 4, in fact i bought it during july 2019 and it got scratched almost within a month. And since then it keeps scratching more and more.

Although i love it, and i am fully into apple products, really, when the time comes for it to be replaced i do not think i shall get an apple watch again.

Mine is the exact same way and it happened within a week. I was very upset because it was a gift from my husband and they told him they were very sturdy as well. We had a series 1 that he’s still using and no scratches like this on there whatsoever.

Same as everyone release, I got my Series 5 in May 2020, and I have a number of scratches visible after no apparently obvious incident. Meanwhile my wife still has my Series 1, 4 years later, and it’s flawless.

I have the se version of the Apple Watch. I have always kept a cover on it. I take it off when I’m sleeping and i am very careful with it . But I still have got a scratch on it after a month ! How is that possible ! Right down the middle of the screen.

Bought the stainless watch about a month ago. Already it has a similar fine scratch on the screen

despite only everyday normal use. Didn't drop it or anything else unusual. I

have had a Swiss watch with a sapphire screen for 30+ years and NO scratches,

so the Apple sapphire seems to be considerably less durable. I bought the

stainless version specifically for this reason, so pretty disappointing. Apple support seems to just shrug their shoulders and say take it to the store. Guy in the store says, "It's scratch resistant, not scratch proof." Well, based on it what I am reading here and seeing myself, it is not as scratch resistant as typical watch sapphire crystals. I really wonder if these are defective in some way.

The point being of this post is that sapphire crystal is supposed to be the second hardest mineral on the planet so shouldn’t scratch so easily irrelevant of what’s in the T & C’s

Me too! Got mySeries 5 in February. Had a series 2 before this and it never had a scratch. This one looks like I took sand paper to it

Additionally, the band pictured on the watch is the only one I use. It's an Apple band and I've had it since my first watch. Compare the state it's in vs the watch.

Did you go rock climbing?

It looks like it. I take it off whenever I’m working. I just noticed the scratches the other day. I have no idea what I did and I’m kind of sick about it.

Exactly and the repair costs are just soo not worth even asking apple to help.

Please let us know what the result of your claim is.

That is a good idea! At least something that the should be made aware of.

And its meant to be a smart watch, we wear it during exercise and activity. The fact that I have to be worried when about the condition of the watch while doing so, sucks.
