Totally expect that this product is not for all but here are more pics for reference...

 

Thanks for review, hope it will work well

 

My great-aunt Tina, who covered anything and everything in her house with plastic, would absolutely love this!

 

A well known Filipino trait as many comedians to include Jokoy always mention haha.

 

Cool idea. If you use it on a phone, a device which is essentially disposable, why not on a watch?

If they figure out how to cover the whole bracelet I might be interested for the sake of possibility haha. Other than that, looks good OP. I already have scratches on mine so it's too late for that. Also, that is a steep price for a DJ

 

I don't mind it, but wonder how will it hold up with time. With all the sweat, water, dirt etc.

 

Gobsmacked that someone made this let alone someone actually using it. It’s a watch fgs! Next thing someone will be worrying that their covers are getting roughed up. A better idea, spend the money on a beater Timex to wear to the office and then change into your Rolex after a shower whilst in a fluffy dressing gown for nights in of admiration. You could even host party’s with like minded fondlers

Yep....
I wear this brand to WEAR them FULL-TIME....24-7-365....shower, sleep, swimming and the rest of it....
I can't IMAGINE plastic stickers on a watch....

 

Not for me. However, that doesn't mean it's a bad idea. Each to their own, when it comes to how they choose to look after their watch.

 

Great. More micro plastics.

 

Good job OP!

Looks great!

 

Looks good from photos, hope it holds up well over time.

 

Interesting comments. For those who are against the protection on the watch, do you have a screen protector on your smartphones ? I mean, I get the whole "it's a watch, it's meant to be worn" mentality, and I don't necessarily disagree. But, with that said, I also don't disagree with wanting to keep your watch as blemish-free as possible. I have watches that I only wear on weekends. I have other watches that I only wear for special events (special dinners, social events, etc). One of the main reasons those watches don't get worn daily is because they will get scratched up, especially the bracelet. Even as I type here right now, the bottom of my watch bracelet is gliding across my desk as I move between the different keys on the keyboard. Now, some will say "yeah but that's completely normal and part of owning a watch". I mean, sure.... It's the same like saying you bought a brand new car and it's getting scratches and dings in parking lots. Yeah, you bought the car to drive it, sure..... But that doesn't mean you have to accept and be happy about it. Many folks these days are putting paint protection film on their front bumpers to avoid rock chips. Further to that, IMO, it's one thing to have an everyday watch that gets some wear and tear, but it's another thing to have a special occasion watch and wanting that one to look absolutely new and pristine. It's like saying you've got a Honda Civic that's in good shape that's daily driven, but you want your weekend-only Ferrari to not have a single scratch on it.

Anyways, I see this as someone being proactive and trying to protect their investment, as well as someone trying to keep their watch in pristine "show room" condition. I'm not sure how I'd personally feel about it as I've never done it to my own watch, but I completely understand the OP's desire to keep their new watch in the best condition possible.

I used to, but I removed it. The screen protectors were always getting scratched. The bare screen doesn't seem to scratch.

I've been wearing the same watch for four years now, pretty much for everything (desk work, yard work, horse work, workshop work). It has some scratching on the clasp, but nothing serious. It got one very light scratch on the mineral crystal, so I replaced it with a sapphire one. Unless you work in construction, I can't see a watch getting very scratched up from wearing it.

A car isn't always the perfect analogy. If a car gets paint chips, it will start to rust. On the other hand, I got a 3ft long scratch from a shopping cart in the driver door of my Saturn and didn't bother to do anything about it, since the car is plastic.

 

All I'm going to say is each to their own but seems to me the concern and worry about wear and tear detracts from the joy of owning these wonderful watches. The watch below, picture taken a few weeks ago, was bought new by myself 34 years ago and worn mostly 24/7 for the first 26 of those years. Enjoyed for what it is and indeed still is. How many of these kits would I have gone through protecting a watch that didn't need protecting. As a temporary protection for that 'honeymoon' period of initial ownership then fair enough but long term just not practical. These watches still look fabulous after many years of use.

To be fair though, your watch is in immaculate condition, being 34 years old and daily worn. Depending on what one does for work, this might not be achievable for a daily wearer.

 

Remember also that you simply cannot protect every surface and sooner or later it will get a mark somewhere. This mark will bug some like crazy if it’s the only one. When they get lots it becomes less important and unless you are constantly looking at your watch with a loupe these small imperfections to new are never noticeable in everyday wear. When you eventually remove your partial cover that’s when it will look odd and even then only under a loupe. Photos on forums only ever show watches big scale and not as they appear when worn.

 

Hmmm. Anyone remember the movie, The Boy In The Plastic Bubble?;-)

 

I didn't see that one but I remember the Bubble Boy from Seinfeld. Do not play Trivial Pursuit with this person.

 

Anything that alters the look of the watch, even if marginally, is not for me.

Something like this for clasps might appeal to me, as they seem to rack up disproportionate wear and tear in my use. Wouldn't use it on the head of a watch though unless it were one I expected to wear only a short time before flipping, and also one whose looks didn't matter to me. Funnily enough, that's exactly the case of my non-sapphire Apple Watch and part of the reason it wears an Armoursuit screen protector.

 

kind of like that Geico commercial with the bubble wrap

not for me

 

its a watch! compare it to anything you like but its a watch. get over it and wear it.

 

Remember when they were tough tool watches for explorers?


whineboy

All mechanical, all the time

 

Thanks for a good laugh.

 

The zag and Oakley solutions don’t contain alcohol? Won’t those solutions play bad with the seals and gaskets? Not to mention, wouldn’t the blow dryer hurt the oils too? I hope you didn’t unload half the bottles like those installation videos do if this the case.

Nah. There is a thread on TRF where a guy boils his Hulk on water while it is frozen solid in ice
