Question Screen Protectors - Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

Has anyone gotten a screen protector yet? As of today there are several choices. Just seeing if anyone has one and how much you like it.

amazon says Im getting mine today. tempered glass

I got the one below - Day 6, so far it seems good
Suoman 4-Pack for Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 46mm Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 46mm Smartwatch [2.5D 9H Hardness] [Anti-Scratch]​
Amazon.com

I'm holding out for Spigen. I expect they will be available soon. Their auto-alignment installation kit makes it so much easier to put on. When they are available they will be on Amazon. Here is Spigen's product page for them (46mm):
https://www.spigen.com/collections/...otector-proflex-ez-fit?variant=39982767996975

I used this one on my GW3, and it also fits on my GW4.
Orzero Tempered Glass Screen Protector​Can't even tell its there. - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QR1SXWT?

Anyone in the UK found any decent 40mm protectors? As with most of them the one above only seems to be available in America..

I bought this one, but I don't believe it is a perfect fit.

The Spiglen are too small, CAVN ones are also too small (Galaxy Watch 4 Classic 46mm). They both leave 1-2 mm the whole way around the screen protector. (UK based)

Ref my post above, my watch is the 46mm Classic and the Kimilar screen protector leaves a gap also.

I got this from Amazon UK, happy with it, fits well, clear, not a fingerprint magnet, smooth to touch

I got this one on my GW4 LTE 44 mm and it works well. It DOES NOT have a suction cup or guide, but I put it on 99% dead center on the first try.

I believe there was a slight gap on my last Spigen one (on GW1). It was very slight and I did not have an issue with it. Doesn't there have to be a slight gap so it can be removed?

I'm looking for one from Amazon US that fits the 46mm Classic with minimal or non-existent border gap. The Amazon availability date for the majority protectors listed, pre-date the Watch 4 release date and some of the reviews mention a 1mm border gap.

I went with the Supershieldz screen protector. No guide and kind of a pain to get it on centered. It took 2 for me. It also has a small bubble literally at the edge of it that won't go away. NOT impressed...

Going to try something else I guess.

I am a klutz so I figured that I needed to something on my GW4C as soon as possible. Rather than waiting to all of the first hand reviews I just picked one that looked decent.
The one I picked was: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09BFD6MVN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It is solid rather than film, installation was easy, it passes my inspection. Touch is not degraded, and I feel much better that it is there than I did when it was not...

Another vote for the Suoman brand. Here is the link for the 42mm version

One note/negative is that these fit all the way to the edge, no gap for dirt to get trapped. I kind of mentioned it as a negative as at first I thought one of them was scratched near the edge. Ripped it off and put on a second one only to find out it was just that it wasn't adhering near the edge. Had to rub and press hard for it to finally adhere. Now it looks stock, like there isn't even a protector on it. It came with 4 in the pack so still have 2 more in the event I ever need it but doubt it as my Gear 2 still has the original protector I put on long ago.

The reason for this is that there's a compatible case for the watch that you buy separately. I got the GW4 40mm Spigen Liquid Air case and the tempered glass screen protector and the two work together really well (the case takes a few days to get used to though)

Thx. I will try the Suoman ones. Only $7 as well...

So did anyone find a screen protector (glass or film) that covers the 44mm watch 4 (non-classic) edge to edge?
Would appreciate a link! Thank you!

I'm using these ones, I bought them for my GWA2, but they work GREAT also for my GW4.

Best Screen Protector for Note 7 ? Curved screen peeling concern.

My current Phone is a Note 4.
I have always used Spigen screen protectors. The one on my Note 4 was applied almost 2 years ago and it only has minor scratches.
I noticed Spigen doesn't currently have a screen protector for the Note 7. Should I wait ? If not, is there a good alternative ?
Also the screen is curved. Does this mean the screen protector peels off from the sides ?

I ordered this after seeing a review on the best screen protectors on Phone Arena. It looks like the one in the photo unlike the posted review said in this link. I bought this before the review was posted, and when the phone arrives I will see how it fits. My only worry is if it will interfere with the Unicorn Beetle pro Case that I have.

i use skinomi. works great on the edges (note edge, s7 edge)
They last long and are pretty cheap. if you ever have to replace one.
Wet install so always bubble free.

Not yet. Delivery status showed delivered but typical Dynamex driver lied and didn't actually deliver it.

+1 for the Skinomi's , but on my Note Edge, i had that orange-like surface on the screen when looking from an angle!
I ll go for the IQ shield when i receive my phone. Had good experience in the past with it.
Trying 3 different products I was sent for review. They are in shipment...
Skinomi
IQ Shield
ArmorSuit
The Note 7 will be my first curved screen phone (upgrading from an S5) and I plan to get either an Otterbox or Spigen case for it. I had a screen protector for my GNex and hated it! Is a screen protector really necessary (or more necessary than non-curved screens)? Other than "necessity" what advantages do screen protectors add? I'm looking for some honest feedback since I have zero experience with curved phones.

I have received a slew of cases via amzreviewtrader.com
I have 6 cases so far with a bunch more in the way. Mainly from lesser known brands but I think some will do a great job.
Their is a myriad to try out. I used Versus Thor on my Note 4 & Versus Neo Hybrid (their frame is aluminum vs Spigen had plastic frame).

Will share my results. After seeing that gorilla glass 5 scratch test on YouTube, I definitely want something. It's such a pain. Why can't they make something super difficult to scratch?

So those of you that have experience with the Skinomi HD Clear screen protectors, I have a question for you. I bought this case for my phone:
Galaxy Note 7 Case, Spigen® [Rugged Armor] Resilient [Black] Ultimate protection from drops and impacts for Samsung Galaxy Note 7 (2016) - (562CS20403) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GIUIFEI/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_oNyTxbE3YE34X
Now this case is pretty minimal. Meaning it isn't very bulky and doesn't add a ton of protection. So with that being said, would the full coverage protector work or do I still need to go with the case friendly version? I'd appreciate any advice.
I had to get case friendly screen protectors for my S7 edge, pretty much all of my cases would lift the screen protector. I used IQshield and Skinomi full coverage on my S7 edge.
I also have the full coverage IQshield for the Note 7 and it's not installing very good. The edge is smaller on the Note 7 so the sides keep popping up. I have an Armorsuit case friendly that I will try soon.
I got the official screen protector with my note7 today at my local samsung store along with a bunch of other goodies in a cheap bundle.
the screen protector is film and not glass, but it's not flimsy, and is already pre-shaped to cater for the curve. it came with two in one pack.
the application was easy enough, as it came with dust stickers and a surprisingly high-quality hard-card with soft felt hemming on it for pushing out air bubbles.
it covers around 90% of the front glass panel, but still covers the whole display area itself, and reaches around the curves too, and is inconspicuous when put on properly.
definitely happy with it and will stick with this one until a really good quality curved glass protector comes out.

Question GW4 Classic Screen Protector

Folks
I know a few people (me included) have bought a few protectors which were a bit small for the GW4 classic (basically they were GW3 size). I can confirm the Ringke bezel is the correct size and does not have any gaps at the side.

Thanks, spangelaregreat. I actually bought the ones that Ringke says are for the first gen Galaxy Watch (because they are considerably cheaper, and have a style I like) - and they fit just fine too. *Edit*: Just to clarify, I am referring to the Ringke bezel rings.

I recently bought a screen protector for my Galaxy Watch4 from Gadgetshieldz which fits perfectly. It is an edge-to-edge protector which protects my watch from scratches. What I like is that till now there are only minute scratches that are not that visible.

Question 46mm - Tempered glass screen protector

Hey all,
I picked up some glass screen protectors to hide an existing scratch and prevent future scratches. The only issue I have is that it's not a perfect fit. There's a slight gap around the edges which results in the display's light being slightly refracted around the perimeter. It's quite distracting when viewing content with white or other light-colored backgrounds.
Has anyone found a tempered glass protector that covers the entire display of the 46mm GW4 Classic, from edge to edge?
Thanks in advance!
I purchased this one and it seems to fit good. The protective case fit good too.

Unfortunately, the one you recommended is even smaller than the one I had installed. Doesn't come close to reaching the edges of the display. While I must admit that I'm no longer seeing the type of annoying light refraction that I was getting with the previous protector, viewing the watch from certain angles is pretty annoying because it's very easy to see where the tempered glass protector ends, leaving a weird gap between the display and bezel. Oh well. I appreciate the effort
Sorry about that. It really does not bother me and the glass is crystal clear. That is the main part I was looking for. Also like the protector for the watch body. Hope you do find one that is a closer fit to what you want.

The fit is perfect! The protectors (2 are included) come attached to guide trays that are perfectly molded to fit the shape of the GW4. This makes it impossible to screw up the placement and alignment of the protector. The fit is flawless, covering the entire display from edge to edge. No gap. Can't even tell it's installed.
Nice, when I need a new one then maybe I will order that one. Are you using the case protector from the other order?

No. I tried it and, while it does fit nicely, it makes rotating the bezel really difficult.
I got used to it. Also, you could get one of the bezel covers to make it higher.

Question Pre Installed Screen Protector is coming off

Don't rub on it too hard, especially around the edges. The microfiber cloth that comes with it is more durable.
For anyone else buying a third-party protector -
If the protector is larger than the original (such as this one), make sure to clean the edges of the screen well before trying to apply the new one. Film protectors have a tendency to leave a ring of residue that isn't always easily seen, but will give the new protector a nice white frame. There is no coming back from that without starting over.

My screen protectors were quickly wearing off, and I was having similar problems. I chose to remove it myself and replace it with third-party protection.It was completely safe and I recommend investing in those protectors that are simple to apply and remove without leaving any residue.

Accessories Screen protector compatibility

I recently got got a watch 4 classic 46mm, and cant seem to find a screen protector for it without ordering online, which i want to avoid cuz shipping us more expensive then the protector. So are screen protectors for previous watches compatible with it (f.e. watch 3 45mm sp for watch4c 46mm cuz of the same screen size)?
TLDR:
Can i use a screen protector from previous gen watches if the screen size is the same?
