Q: Apple Watch screen protectors

I Got a tempered glass screen protector for my iwatch and it was only sticking in the center of the screen so I sent it back and ordered a different one and it did the same so I guess the screen is actually high in the center then on the edges does anyone else have this problem?

Apple Watch, iOS 9.3

    Hi

     

    If you are concerned about a potential manufacturing defect with your Apple Watch, you may wish to contact Apple Support (mail-in service may be available) or make a Genius Bar reservation with a view to having it checked under warranty:

    You may otherwise find that a good quality thin film-type screen protector offers a better fit, potentially (depending on the product) including around the edges of the display.

    I used a glass screen protector for a few days, but found the edge distracting and it came up too easily.

     

    Since I have the sport watch, I use film protectors.  Most of the early ones were either too stiff (wouldn't lay on the edges),  peeled off too soon, too small, or too large.  Recently I bought Skinomi.  The most recent ones fit fairly well.  Some gap around the edge.  But they lay well against the glass.  In my experience with previous versions, they last for 4-8 weeks.  It all depends on how often I bang up against something.  Air travel is to be the killer for me which is unfortunate since I travel ever month or so.

     

    Skinomi allows you to return older films for a refund.  They aren't very expensive on Amazon, about 1 USD each, so I haven't bothered yet.  I haven't tried the process yet, but since I'm on my 2nd box of 6, maybe I'll try it.

    No problem with my SecondSkin. Fits like a glove on my 42mm. Sounds unlikely that there'd be an issue with the watch itself. Strange one.
