Looks significantly better this morning, but it looks like I may have some dust underneath along with the remaining air bubbles. I'll give it a few days before I try again.

Does anyone have any advice for these wet install screen protectors? Tried installing an armorsuit protector tonight and failed miserably. The edges just would not stay down, especially in one corner. I followed the directions and even tried a second time using some tips I read on Amazon (waiting before pushing the corners down, using a hairdryer). Also, second question- those with armorsuit, did the edges or corners eventually peel up after usage?

I got the Zagg Shield for my Apple Watch. The install was just a tad offset since while it's wet and you're working the bubbles out, it can slide around. But I'm very impressed by the quality, protection and especially the warranty. I've replaced it twice already, both times totally covered under their warranty. First time, I snagged the watch on something and it peeled a corner. Another time (pictured below) it dragged hard on a painted wall. Both times Zagg insisted on replacing it with no questions asked. The paint was ground so deep it couldn't be scraped off but was able to be removed with only nail polish remover and left ZERO damage. Either way, Zagg is the way to go. Just installed my warranty replacement 2 hours ago and it looks great. Made sure it was properly aligned this time. And no, I have zero issues with the corners sticking down. Just follow the directions and use tissue to absorb the leftover spray. Don't mind the micro bubbles, they disappear. For you guys doing the wet apply and having it look horrible, I don't know what you're doing wrong but as I said, the 2nd and 3rd pic below show it installed after only 2 hours.

Do the bubbles go away or did I just mess this up? This is an armorsuit protector.

Those bubbles are huge. I think you messed up. Shouldn't have bubbles that size. Look at my post above this one with the pics of a just completed install. Your bubbles are big air bubbles that likely will not go away. They should've been squeegeed out.
