Nice. As I wear my watch in the office mostly, the only place I would probably use this would be on the clasp which is the biggest scratch magnet.

Is it possible to get a barcode on the case-side sticker? I think this would really make the watch seem new and more enjoyable.

I, for one, don’t have the time for this nonsense.

Not difficult as long as the surfaces are clean. With included spray solution, you can't go wrong because you can make your final adjustments while wet.

It may last years as long as you install it properly without the edges hanging where dirt/water will get in.

Probably just pocket change for those who have them, don't really care about scratches on their watches as they can get another one in an instant.

Good that you started this topic, clearly more people suffer from OCD :thumbs:

I don't feel scratches, so it doesn't matter to me. Same for my car, really don't care about a scratch more or less but I can understand the fellow members who have this "sickness"

HAHA

Maybe even lamination for the receipt and B&P while we're at it...

It’s a Datejust, not a faberge egg.

No thanks to plastic anything on my watches.

Edit: I actually used to use Zagg protection on my phones, but it always peeled off eventually and never really looked completely clear.

I think it's a great idea. Just not for me.

Some people who are really anal about their watches is would be a decent option.

For me it's kind of like a Watch Trojan.

See the thing is folks, all of us will die, we are only here for a brief time and will die. Our watches will continue to tick on without us. The watch will outlive you and can be easily polished at regular intervals if one desires and will look good for generations to come. It’s like that old quote, I don’t intend to tiptoe through life just to end up safely at deaths door. Same for my watches.

Just an update after a month, Zagg protector still has no signs of wear or dirt accumulating along the edges. Still looks invisible providing a look of a mint clasp without any micro scratches.

Exactly what I was thinking!

This is like those bumper belly things you see on the bumper of nice cars in cities.

I can't believe people actually like the idea of this stuff enough for it to become a thing. Slight orange peel effect, but that is to be expected. Invisible other than that though?
