How to remove scratches from the Apple Watch case: practical experience. The first claims of users to the Apple Watch

Steel Apple Watch - the most scratchy models of the entire line. After a few years of daily use, the case will lose its presentable appearance.

But they can be easily polished. And this has long been known. For what? For example, they are no longer satisfied with the appearance of the watch. Or are you going to prepare them as a gift.

Let's say the solution is nice. Where to begin?

1. Where to buy get polish

There are a lot of videos and instructions on this topic. Everywhere offer different means for polishing. Sometimes a whole bunch.

It is unlikely that there will be a desire to buy several varieties of these products, moreover, in large containers. This is quite expensive, and for the Apple Watch you need quite a bit.

How I did: On the way home from work, I stopped at the nearest car service. Usually they have everything to work with a car body, including its steel surfaces. As a result, I was "poured" a little polishing paste into a cup of coffee for a symbolic 100 rubles.

Moreover, two types.

2. What type of paste is suitable for Apple Watch?

Everything is very simple.

To eliminate small scratches, you need a paste for gentle processing.

If deep scratches need to be repaired, tough. But the steel will lose its luster.

The girl polishes the case with hard polishing paste.

Therefore, be sure to grab a “delicate” paste to apply the final touch and return the glossy surface to its place.

3. What to do before polishing

In the last picture, the holes for the microphone and speakers are not covered by anything. I didn't cover anything either. As a result, I picked out the paste from the cracks in all possible ways, because it was not washed off with water. Consider this moment.

The holes are too small, but it's better to cover them with tape beforehand than to suffer later.

And do not forget to completely clean the watch case from all contaminants.

4. Don't put on too much paste

The more the better - not our case. It is for this reason that you may experience the problems described at the beginning of the previous paragraph.

Apply a small layer of paste to a piece of microfiber cloth and rub it. The rag should soak the paste so that there is no excess left. If they remain, then there is too much paste, and it will be pushed into the cracks.

5. Don't go overboard

Perform polishing with gentle, calm movements. The rag will turn black - this is normal. In fact, we remove the thin outer layer of the case along with scratches.

Outcome

My Apple Watch before polishing:

The result is excellent, the watch is like new.

But I don't recommend polishing your Apple Watch unless absolutely necessary. A small number of small scratches will not affect the overall perception of the watch.

P.S. After some time, I decided to try a sporty aluminum model. For 8 months of active use, not a single scratch appeared either on the glass or on the case.

But in the future, it will not be possible to get rid of scratches: only the steel version of the watch can be polished.

And the first complaints about scratches on the watch case have already appeared. It turns out that stainless steel models do not have sufficient wear resistance and are covered with a network of small scratches on the very first day of use.

In contact with

At the same time, from users Watch Sport And Edition no complaints have been received so far. However, despite the usual Internet hysteria in such a situation and even an attempt to stir up a scandal on Twitter (photos of watches with scratches received the #Scratchgate hashtag), the device can easily be restored to its original appearance. It is also worth noting that virtually all steel watches are highly susceptible to scratches. You can also recall a similar problem with the iPod.

So, in order to get rid of shallow scratches, you will need aluminum or chrome polish, which you can get at any auto shop, and a regular clean towel or piece of cloth. Recall that this solution to the problem is valid only for steel watches.

Apply polish to the watch case, being careful not to get on the display, plastic parts and gaps. After that, carefully wipe the places with scratches with a cloth, and then remove the polish from the case with the clean side of the towel. This simple method will allow you to remove shallow scratches and make deeper ones less noticeable.

If you do not want to fix the problem manually, you can take the watch to any watch workshop - there you will quickly and efficiently remove all scratches and scuffs. For such a procedure, they usually request from 1000 rubles (in Moscow).

At Sport there are no problems with case scratches, however, they have a display for physical impact. So before buying, it will not be out of place to think carefully about what is worse - a scratched display or a case (which, as we have seen, is easily fixed).
