Do all of these have the rubber feel to them? I can't stand rubber on a watch or a phone. I had to go with tempered glass on my iPhone and it's amazing.

Does anyone here know any good tempered glass protectors? I was considering either the ZAGG or ArmorSuit, but I don't want to get them if it feels like rubber.

zagg doesn't have glass.. At least yet.. Has received rubber feel but covers the entire glass and looks great..

Just ordered my full body ArmorSuit last night from Amazon. Decided I wasnt sticking with Zagg for my watch (this is my third one via trade LOL!!). Hoping for the more premium protector companies to start making them for the watch.

Not sure if it's been asked in the previous nine pages, but has one submersed their watch (with a screen protector) under water or while washing their hands? I have the armorsuit and love it, but ham hesitant to try it under water.

None of the glass or vinyl-like screen protectors cover the entire screen.

The only one I've seen that goes around the curves is this one, which will be out in June:

Tempered glass and stainless steel cover for $15.

Zagg and Armorsuit cover the whole screen.
Any company that makes a fake screen protector (defined as not covering the whole screen) won't get my or many other people's money.

I have Armorsuit on my SG 42mm and it fits great, but it's definitely taken some of the clarity away from the screen. Has anyone compared the Zagg to AS as far as clarity goes? I want to keep my screen safe, but really hate sacrificing clarity for it.

The Zagg HDX arrived the other day. It was easy to apply. It doesn't quite fit the entire glass area but goes beyond the curve meaning that you can't feel it when swiping for glances and notifications. The screen doesn't feel like glass any more, it does have slight texture to it but I understand from reading other reviews that over the course of a week this will smooth out but frankly I don't mind because now I can worry less about the glass scratching.

I can't resist - gonna have to buy a screen protector!

Today I put a tempered glass cover on my watch - you know the ones that don't fit fully due to the curves.

Does anyone know of a way to cover the whole watch surface or if there are are any protectors available?

I know you can get tempered glass ones for iPhone now which I have for my 6 and it has a black outline and is curved - is this available for Apple Watch?

Thanks

Put me down as a vote for Armorsuit. I installed mine last night as soon as I got my watch and it fits perfectly. It covers the entire glass, curves and all which is what sold me.

I used to use a microfibert cloth to clean my watch face, but now I just use 400 Grit Sandpaper.
