IQShieldScreen Protector Compatible with Garmin Forerunner 645 (6-Pack)(Full Coverage) Anti-Bubble Clear TPU Film

UPDATE 4/11/18:Still going strong! The tiny bubble that occurred from the charger has stayed exactly the same (virtually unnoticeable) and the protector still looks the same as the day I installed it. This is despite the fact that I even tried connecting the charger backwards (teeth side on the screen) one morning, which should’ve messed the protector up if anything was going to.Definitely recommend! Especially considering the fact that they include six!UPDATE 3/28/18:After having the protector installed for a couple days, I’ve noticed that there is a very small amount of separation occurring where the charging clip rests on the screen. I would imagine this could happen with any protector because of the design of the charging clip. I’m very picky and the separation is not enough to bother me. It’s not noticeable unless you really, really look for it.I may try installing another protector (great that they include six!) and letting the new protector dry for a couple days before attempting charging if the separation gets a lot worse.ORIGINAL REVIEW 3/26/18:I will update as time goes, but I just installed this about an hour ago and didn’t see any reviews, so I thought I’d post one.I Installed it in my bathroom with plenty of steam from a hot shower to keep the dust down and the install went perfectly. Much less stressful than many other screen protector installs I’ve performed.The protector fits perfectly and you cannot tell it’s there at all essentially. You have to really look for it. Best part about the these are the “wet install” process, which allows you to position it perfectly on the screen before letting it adhere.As I said, I will update as time goes if I have any trouble.BTW... I was not paid or gifted this product and am not affiliated with this company in any way. Bought and paid for this on Prime with my own $$$ just like you.

Overall turned out to be a decent screen protector. Installed the first one successfully and had been using it for about couple of months without any issues (no peeling off, protects the screen from scratches very well). Took one star off to account for not very smooth installation process... The problem is when screen protector is wet, it's close to impossible to keep it in place in order to squeeze extra water out. It was moving all over the place (over edges of the watch!). As I was 'fighting' it to keep it on the screen, picked up a dust particle on one side... fortunately, was on the very edge, not really visible and doesn't seem to impact the performance - thus, I just left it as is (so far so good). After fiddling with it for some time and not seeing any bubbles, I finally decided just to let it dry since I didn't want to pick up more dust particles and destroy the screen protector - it worked. So, decent screen protector, but be ready to deal with a 'slippery beast' during installation.7/26/2020 updateTaking more stars off, unfortunately. Charging cable seem to be pulling screen protector to the right of the screen... and eventually the edge creeps over the bezel (even if you're able to pull it back, it'll still be sliding to the right due to charging clamp). Thus, eventually the whole thing just peels off... I'm on my 3rd screen protector and looking at the current one's condition... a new replacement is coming soon.

IQ Shield has become our favorite new manufacturer for all our screen protectors: phones, watches, etc. Like lining up a phone protector, it pays to use a lot of fluid to allow easy adjustment of the screen to as perfectly aligned as you can get it. Once it's there, a finger holds this one in place fairly easily while you squeegee away the liquid. It dries and sets fairly quickly compared to a larger phone screen.I shifted and mangled my first protector a couple of times (and reinstalled it once) before I notice it was the charging clip that was pulling it. I sure wish I had read the comments here because just slipping a hard card like a credit card between the face and charger clip looks to be all you need to do.

I don't know how easily the Garmin 645 crystal scratches, but after spending this much for the watch, why take the chance? The IQ Shield website has a great video on the application process, which I encourage everyone to watch. Application was straight forward carefully following all instructions. Using the squeegee was a bit problematic because of the rim lip on the watch, but works well enough. It is important to be very careful when applying the shield so that it aligns properly on the watch. The shield is so transparent that it is not easy to see where the edges are. I was a bit slow and had to peel the shield off a bit to reposition it. But, when lifted slightly, I was able to slide it around into perfect position and carefully re-squeegee. The instructions say to leave the watch sit for 12 to 24 hours. This is important. After about 12 hours I put the watch on and noticed 3 very small bubbles. I worked 2 of them out using my fingernail, but the 3rd I could not, but it was hardly noticeable. But, after about 20 hours post application, even that last bubble had completely disappeared, just like the video said, so I probably didn't need to work any of those small bubbles out. I now have a perfect fit and a perfect surface. If I didn't know that the shield was in place, I would never guess so. Six shields are supplied just in case of need.

Bought a pack of the screen protectors for my Garmin watch, and I've only used one so far. Since the protector is soft, it doesn't crack like protectors on phones. I also haven't noticed any scratches on it. I put a 245 case on my watch, so when I charge my watch the clip lies on the case on the bezel of the watch instead of on the screen protector. Highly recommend combining a 245 case (or 645 case if you can find one) with this screen protector to avoid any charging clip issues. The protector itself is quite clear and does not impact viewing at all. There really isn't a point in including 6 of these in a pack since 2 or 3 will probably last you the entire duration of your watch life if you use it with a case.

This is an excellent product. It goes on flawlessly and stays on. The only difficulty I have had, and it's not due to the product, is that when I sprayed on insect repellent and got a bit on the protector it lifted the edge of the protector. That being said, it is three months later and the screen protector was still perfectly in place when I finally got around to changing it yesterday. I like it so much that I have ordered one for my phone and one for my tablet.
