Apple Watch Series 3 Screen Protector Recommendation
Hello,
I was curious if anyone had a recommendation for an edge-to-edge tempered glass screen protector for the series 3 watch?
Thanks.

Thanks for the recommendation. Product looks great and it’s what I’m looking for. Unfortunately there is nothing for the Series 3 yet. According to them, the Series 2 is NOT compatible. I’ll sit tight and wait as it’s the best I’ve seen to date.

Is the ZAGG glass luxe screen protector water proof? I had a panzerglass screen protector on my watch series 3, but after the first time taking an shower with my watch on my wrist moisture got underneath. In the proces of removing the moisture I broke the screen protector.
I first bought an inexpensive Atill glass protector on Amazon. It looked OK, unless you tilted it and saw the rippled surface. Still, it was responsive to touch screen, and looking directly at the screen it was invisible. HOWEVER, less than a week after I purchased, without any drops or strikes that I noticed, one corner was crushed. Next, I bought the pricy Belkin screen protector, which looks BEAUTIFUL--crystal clear, smooth, fingerprint resistant. This one interferes with the touchscreen, requiring multiple taps before any of the complications on the face respond. Response is fine in the middle of the watch, but corners are virtually useless, so I'll be returning this for a refund.
I just ordered the Zagg Luxe and I also have one other, the SUPTMAX, on the way. We'll see whether one of them fits the bill. I'm starting to wish I'd sprung for the stainless steel with sapphire crystal. I have an Omega watch that I've worn constantly for years and not a scratch on its sapphire crystal. But this is my very first Apple Watch and I wanted to be sure I liked it/used it enough to justify spending that much money. Assuming I continue to love it, my next purchase will DEFINITELY have a sapphire crystal.
Just got the Zagg today (still waiting on the SUPTMAX--should be here early next week). I put the Zagg on, and despite what I've seen about the Series 2 Zagg's not being compatible with the Series 3, it appears to fit perfectly. As far as I know, and from what I've seen, the screen dimensions are identical.
Anyway, it's smooth and clear, easy to install, and does NOT interfere with the touchscreen, which remains highly responsive. Guess I will have to see how it holds up in the shower. The only thing I really dislike about it is the matte black frame/border. It kind of ruins the nice smooth look of the watch face. I don't know why they made that choice, except maybe to coordinate with their bumper case (which I don't see myself ever needing or using). It would be MUCH more attractive with a glossy finish. Still, if it holds up well, it doesn't look terrible. As I said, the last one looked great, but the repeated taps required to get a response drove me CRAZY.
I'll probably just hold onto the SUPTMAX when it gets here until/unless the ZAGG fails.
Remember that it is the size of the screen protector that matters - 42mm (not 38mm).
There are other brands besides Zagg that are less expensive -Belkin, Griffin and Nitro.
Stores such as Best Buy, Walmart and other similar stores carry these products.
Go to ZAGG they have the best. If you break it they replace it.
Yeah their warranty is great.
Series 2 does work, I have it on my series 3 watch and works perfect and looks great
At a charge of $5.99. They dont replace for free.
Thanks for your comments. I'll be curious about your thoughts with the SUPTMAX vs. the Zagg.
Have a great day

Thanks for the feedback. Have a good one.

The SUPTMAX protector’s coloured border slightly overlaps the screen on the 3, now removed and looking for a replacement 😕
