Iwatch protection shield

I have a plastic shield on my iwatch to prevent scratches, but in less than one day there are some scratches on it on the edges off the shield. What shall I do to prevent scratches on the glass?


Is the glass strong enough to prevent scratches?


I just bought also an extra plastic case (I use it also on my I phone) to prevent scratches?


Please help me use my Iwatch to the fullest 🙂

Hi Tuurke


You may wish to consider using a thin film type screen protector, which may provide some measure of protection against future damage.


You may, for example, find these of interest:



Be aware that some screen protectors cover only the flat part of the display, whereas some thin film-type protectors (such as the Zagg Invisible Shield HD) cover the full screen of Apple Watch, including around the curved edges of the glass.


Commonly reported problems with some plastic snap-on type shields / protectors include that they may, for example: fall off relatively easily, reduce touch sensitivity, become dirty, scratch quite easily, trap moisture and/or trap small items of debris (which can then cause scratches on the watch case and/or display).


Using a plastic case may also make it harder and/or less convenient to keep your watch clean and dry. Cleaning and drying your watch is recommended, for example, after exposure to sweat and other liquids in order to maximise comfort and prevent long-term damage to the watch.
