Good Screen Protector
Some of the negative reviews here are a bit confusing. I'm writing this one primarily to set a few records straight. First of all, these screen protectors are stickers. They're thin plastic. Their purpose is to add a layer of cheap material over your expensive glass screen in order to prevent scuffs, scratches, chips, etc. The reason you get six in the package is that these are not supposed to be durable! They're expendable and disposable. You use one until it wears out, then you use another. Second, installation is an absolute breeze. I've used lots of these sorts of products for my devices over the years and this one had one of the easiest installations I've ever done. Anyone who is complaining that it took them four tries or whatever, didn't bother actually watching the installation video. The protector also wraps around the curvature of the Versa 2 just fine. Again, you need to watch the video and do it at the right time. I recommend watching both the watch video and the "curved device" video as you'll get tips in each. Here's a quick run-down of how to properly install: - First of all, you need a dust-free area. A good tip for this is to use your bathroom, immediately after a shower. The water vapor will drag a lot of the dust out of the air. - Second, make sure your hands are clean and oil-free. See the shower tip. - Next, use scissors and cut out one protector -- you'll be spraying it with a bunch of liquid and there's no reason to get the adjacent ones wet. - Now spray the watch face with the included solution. One spray seems to be sufficient here. - Now spray the fingers on both of your hands. Don't worry, the solution doesn't smell especially bad. - Now spray the front of the protector. - Now use your wet fingers and peel up the protector and liberally spray the back. - Finally, put the protector in place on the watch. Slide it around a bit into position. Hold half of it in place with your thumb and squeegee the liquid out from the other half. The protector will shift a bit. Gently push it back into place. Then hold and squeegee again, in a different direction. (I alternate Up-Right-Down-Left when doing this so I get equal coverage.) - Keep repeating the above step until the protector starts to stick to the watch. Then give it a couple of final swipes with the squeegee. - The curved edges will not be in place at this point. That's okay! Put the watch down and walk away for 15 minutes. - Now come back and using the microfiber cloth gently polish/press the protector, from the middle outward, all the way into the curved edges. They'll stick. Push them evenly around the face of the watch and all will be great. - And finally, wait 8 hours. Come back and give the edges another little pass if you need to. I'm deducting one star primarily for that 8 hour wait. I've never had to do that before. The installation instructions mention a hair dryer for quicker drying but they also mention simply doing this right before bed, and that seems to be an easier and perhaps better option. Once in place, the screen protector is crystal clear and doesn't interfere in any way with using your watch. Which is really all you can ask for. I'd like these to be ever-so-slightly wider. They don't quite cover the entire glass face of the watch. (They're short by maybe 1mm.) That's fine from a usability perspective and you can barely see it but I think a bit more edge-to-edge coverage would help improve snag resistance. These sorts of protectors, for me, always seem to wear out at the side because a bit of lint or dirt gets under the edge and destroys adhesion, so having the protector right up against the metal would help. Anyway, that's that. Easy install, great clarity, does what it's supposed to do. No real complaints except the 8 hour set time, but even that is not a very big deal. Good product.
