ESR2 Pack Armorite Screen Protector for Apple Watch Ultra 2/1 (2024/2023/2022,49 mm), Military Grade Protection, Tempered Glass Film with Aluminum Alloy Frame, Keep Original, Anti-Scratch, Titanium

I really like these little screen/bezel protectors from ESR! But you have to know what to expect and being willing to accept their limitation, otherwise you are going to be disappointed.I have a black ultra 2. I am fairly rough with my wearables! I am a firefighter and do not take off my watch at work. I also like the things I pay good money for to stay is good condition. I have average to less then average size wrists (6.5”).I would love to have complete coverage and protection on my watch, I have tried all the minimal sized cases and still not like the added bulk and/or look of them. I like the naked watch as it looks out of the box. But I also know I will break and scratch this watch!I bought these little protectors to try and it turns out I love them, even better than a regular screen protector because I don’t feel an edge of the glass when sliding my finger across the screen. It protects the bezel, which I think is the most prone spot on the watch to be damaged. I also appreciate that it softens edge of the watch bezel, I find it is a little sharp from the factory. Touch sensitivity doesn’t seem to change with or without the protector. It’s easy to install and remains bubble free.I can hardly tell there is a protector on the watch, it blends in very well and the color seems to match quite well, the sheen is slightly off in bright sun. I also have a couple of similar products from other manufacturers, but the bezel is just slightly thicker to the eye and doesn’t blend in the watch as well.Now for the limitations. As I mentioned, the bezel seems to be the most prone spot for damage on these watches. This is apparent as every time I put one of these on, I get a scratch on the protectors bezel within a day. It doesn’t bother me too much because I know the watch is safe, but it does stand out if you go with black. It would be nice if ESR made it a bit more robust, but I can’t say I would want to pay much more for a stronger coating. I know it will get replaced with a new one, which brings me to my second limitation.This protector creates a very small lip at the base between the protector and the watch. The lip is more subtle than I imagined when I looked at the pictures originally. However, it is just enough to every once in a while, catch on something and cause it to pop off. If this happens, it needs to be replaced with a new one. I currently have one on my watch that popped off and while it still functions great, there are two small bubbles where dusk got stuck to the inside.Even knowing the limitations, I will continue using this product, in fact I will be purchasing a few more packs just to have them on hand for when they pop off.I give this a 5 star, not because it is a perfect product, but because it performs just as a would expect it to understanding the limitations of the minimal design.Thank you ESR, keep up the good work!A note about other brands similar protect. I have a couple of these from a different brand. They were gifted with other products I bought. The bezel is ever so slightly larger and doesn’t blend nor blend into the watch as well. If you are going to buy one of these types of protectors, look carefully at the users photos to see the difference, these are better. And I’m not sure what to say about Zaggs version. It looks the same, but at $45 I will never get to test it, I know it’s likely to pop off within a few months, so that price is crazy to me.

So full disclosure, the first package I got, there were issues getting these to adhere correctly in that there seemed to be a few small areas missing adhesive. This resulted in a few little speck like areas that one could potentially confuse for tiny specks of dust preventing adhesion, but under a macro lens it was easy to see that wasn’t the case. Just some areas that wouldn’t adhere 100%. I got in contact with ESR support and they quickly sent me a replacement no questions asked. Lacy with customer support is the best!Upon receiving the replacement, I did the install again taking care to properly follow the instructions (as always) and this time I got a perfect installation.It’s been about 12-15 weeks thus far and no issues at all. Still perfectly adhered, and amazingly scratch free which is saying something since I’m constantly bumping and scraping my wrist against random surfaces lol.Aesthetically, the fit and finish is outstanding. I completely forget it’s on there. Looks 100% stock. Very little to nothing about it says “aftermarket screen protector installed”. You just forget it’s there and go about your life bumping and banging into stuff with no consequence. If you really sit there and stare at it, yeah it’s noticeable then. Otherwise, it’s very understated and any change to the app dance or profile of the Ultra is minimal, at best.And it’s inexpensive! For me, that’s peace of mind well worth the price of admission. Shout out to ESR. I now have cases or screen protection products of their design on my iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. They’re really making some great stuff, and have begun to replace the use of Spigen products for me.UPDATE: 12/27/24I’ve had the same protector on my Apple Watch Ultra for over a year now, and I’m honestly surprised it looks nearly perfect. No air bubbles, still completely adhered, no scratches or wear to speak of honestly. I’m impressed. I still have the other protector in the box. Ain’t had to use it yet!

Excellent screen protector. Installed in a matter of minute without any issues. Looks naturally like a watch itself. You can swim without issues, everything works perfectly, as like watch without anything on it. Great stuff.
