or for a freebee just carefully cut off the tab on the plastic cover that came with your watch , as that makes a good screen protector , you get 2 with the watch one also on the back which fits perfectly as well , so far after 3 months no scratches on the plastic protector.
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

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):

I used this one on my GW3, and it also fits on my GW4.

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.

So I'm curious after 1 year for the folks who didn't use a screen protector, how does your front glass look? Any scratches? Large or Micro? My latest protector just fell off and considering going naked.
It will get scratched. It's just glass.
One grain of sand is all it takes... are you feeling lucky today?

Firstly ,
i have never used a screen protector on any of my Note devices.!
From my Note 2,3.,4....5..... ....up to my Note 20 5G Ultra.
When i handed my other old phones "down " to my family members .
not one of them ever had a scratch on it .!
However, if i look at my old phones now ,they all have scratches...!!!
because of the "don't care attitude "
Currently my Note 20 ( after a year ) has no screen protector and no scratches .!!
My setup is ...
i have x 2 UAG cases, that i change from time to time .
(Depends how i feel )
If i go ,for my daily jog or to the shops.....,
i place my phone (UAG cover and all )
inside an old used big flip case ,that covers/protects , the screen .
At home i just use the Note with UAG case ,as is .
This method has worked for me .(No scratches .)
If you care about the fact that the phone is an expensive item and
take a simple preventive measure. (Eg like i did )
You can use your phone ,without a screen protector and have no scratches on it .
Bottom line ,its what works for you !!!
Good luck

So I guess the main reason I ask is because I've read in a few places while Gorilla Glass Victus is stronger against drops its weaker vs scratches then previous glass. Also I just tend to keep my phone in my pocket, I also have a work iphone 11 and oddly enough it doesn't have a single scratch on the screen but I think they use a different glass.
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.
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.

Just received this one today. I've tried so many and this is definitely the best one out there. The others were definitely too small, but this fit is really good. Thanks for the heads up @Cyclops1055
