A few tips for installing a very good product

Firstly I will not give any product a 5 star rating unless the product significantly exceeds expectations. However, this is a great product and once you understand the installation process, it works very well. A few tips for installing screen protectors that I learned through trial and error (and as promised, a free set of screen protectors after messing up installing my first watch). First, I find it useful to use fine-tipped tweezers to grab the protective sheet. Simply peel off the protective film slightly and GENTLY grasp the screen protector with a pair of pliers. This method avoids the risk of fingerprints and/or dust getting on your fingers from the time you wash your hands until you begin installation. Second, I found I had applied TOO LESS soap solution to begin with. I've found that installation works best with a full but thin coat of soapy water on both the watch face and the adhesive side of the screen protector. With the pliers you can then place the protective film precisely on the dial and don't have to move it too much (I messed up a setup). Finally I put the watch in the sun to warm it up a bit; This (slightly) speeds up the "hardening" process. As promised by the manufacturer, all bubbles, streaks, etc. disappear within 24 hours and you don't even notice whether there is a protective film due to the excellent optical clarity.

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • Not everything fits
