Best Tempered Glass Screen Protectors?

[Dankees]

Which tempered glass screen protector works the best with the LG Watch Urbane? Is it easy to install without getting dust beneath the glass?

Because it is glass and it is flat, does that make it easier to install without there being air bubbles?

The best tempered glass protector is the cheapest one you can install the soonest.

And yeah, with the tempered glass protectors especially, the flatter the install surface, the easier installation is.

Well, I haven't opened up the box to my watch, yet (I just got Best Buy to sell me two for $100 each - price matched to Verizon).

So, since I have time - which one is best?

I just got my watch as well, When I get the AnoKe screen protector I will post my impressions...

Got this one and put it on as soon as I took it out of the box. It matches the outer lip just fine with me and fits perfectly. No complaints here! Used it about a month now and haven't had any problems

The reviews are so varied. I've looked at other ones - are they really any different?

 

[tpence2177]

Oh definitely there are some that are way better than others. OK something this small those differences aren't anywhere near as pronounced

 

[Dankees]

Aren't they all made in the same factory? How are they different? You mean, some from the same brand are different? Like QC issues?

 

[tpence2177]

Some have better oliophobic coatings than others. Some are thicker better glass. I just got one for my turbo 2 the other day that has round tapered edges which i like. Don't think that the tapered edges would really matter on a watch though. I think you're stressing way too much over a screen protector lol. Not sure if they are all made in the same factory but I kinda doubt it.

 

[tpence2177]

Oh and anything mass produced has the chance to have QC issues. Just the nature of the beast.

OCD causes stress. ;-)

I just want to make sure because I don't wanna put one on, then it sucks, I have to remove it, something goes wrong with peeling it off the screen, etc.

Are certain brands known for having better smudge-proof/oleophobic coatings? Is thicker glass necessarily better, or will it cause an obscured view of the watch face?

As you can tell, I like to do all of my due dillegence before I buy and install things. :-D

 

[tpence2177]

Of the probably 10 that I have had some are better than others. They all will get smudges and finger prints though and the coating generally don't last forever. I haven't ever had one that left a residue on the screen when taking them off though. I wouldn't spend a bunch of money on one. It's just a tiny piece of glass and may eventually crack due to hitting your watch face on but that's what it's supposed to do. I'm perfectly happy with the thinner one in my watch but I like thicker ones on phones

I typically put Zagg-type (wet application) screen protectors on my phones, but I thought that this might be hard to do on a watch with a bezel.

I have a Samsung Gear S, and I have a screen protector on it (wet application) because of its curved screen.

I guess the glass one makes sense for the LG Watch Urbane, but I wasn't sure which one is the best, and if a thick glass is better than a thinner one, and how easy/hard they are to apply. From what I understand, the glass screen protectors (just like the soft/wet application ones) don't get any air bubbles, so that's nice.

 

[tpence2177]

I think the one on my phone is 0.9 thick which is nice, but for my urbane the one I posted matches the lip of the watch casing just about perfect. One that's thicker I would bet would be more likely to crack because it would stick up higher than the casing making it more vulnerable.

 

[Dankees]

Which one did you get for the watch?

Can you please post some photos? Thank you!

How easy/difficult is it to apply nicely centered on the watch face? Any issues with air bubbles, dust? (I haven't opened the box to my watch, yet.)

 

[tpence2177]

Should be as simple as open up both clean the screen and apply. The watch was the easiest thing I have ever put a screen protector on. There's literally no centering it just fits
