It is not difficult that it sounds to you Invisible ShieldWe are talking about the most popular premium brand of screen protectors on the market, so much so that technical services such as MediaMarkt have been offering their products with guarantees. The smartwatch is a wearable quite prone to accidents due to its exposure on the outside of our wrist, that is why it is important to have it so well protected.
We are going to teach you how to put a tempered glass on your smartwatch, and above all what are the qualities of this Glass Curve Elite, Invisible Shield's range of 2.5D tempered glass protectors. So don't miss our new tutorial and analysis.
The Glass Curve Elite range is not only present in the Apple Watch, it is also fully compatible with devices with such peculiar screens as the iPhone X or the Samsung Galaxy s9. In this case we are going to focus on the smart watch division, the product we have in our hands is the Invisible Shield Glass Curve Elite for the Apple Watch Series 3.
This crystal features black frames with the exact dimensions of the front of Apple Watch Series 3, so that once we have installed it correctly it is practically impossible to detect that it has been placed, unlike other protectors of less known brands that generate a side edge because the protection is slightly smaller than that of the device. Zagg has always offered products millimetrically adapted to the device for which they are designed, so their installation should not pose any problem or risk for us.
It is also made entirely of tempered glass, so The sides are not made of plastic or rubber, no material that is not very resistant or that accumulates certain dirt on the frames of the watch that end up scratching the screen slightly. This time we appreciate a small curvature in the glass that makes it fit great.
Likewise, as with this type of protector, we have a lifetime guarantee with our Glass Curve Elite once we have duly registered it on the web. It has a protection for impacts and scratches, which prevents that when the glass breaks, the Apple Watch screen is also broken since it absorbs all the impact. An important aspect of this type of protector is that it has a good feeling to the touch and above all a quality oleophobic coating (such as the one that Apple includes for example), something that we find in this Curve Grass Elite from Invisible Shield, we will not have any type of usual footprint. Although perhaps more relevant is its guarantee that it can get wet, as we well know the Apple Watch Series 3 is totally submersible, it would make little sense to sell a tempered glass protector that could not be submerged in optimal conditions with the watch.
How to install a tempered glass on Apple Watch
The moment of truth has come, when we receive the product we have to place it correctly. The first thing we must do is set up a well-lit and pollutant-free area that we can use quietly to install the protector. The ideal is usually a table or a desk with its corresponding lamp. Once we have everything prepared, we are going to remove the strap from the Apple Watch and prepare the different elements that the Glass Curve Elite brings in its box, which are the following:
- 1x Cleaning cloth
- 1x Adhesive to capture small impurities
- 1x Cleaning wipe for residue
- 1x Placement adapter
We then proceed with cleaning the device, first we are going to pass the alcohol-moistened wipe included in the box to remove any type of impurities before installing the glass. Then we go through the chamois making sure we don't leave too many fibers around the screen. Then we are going to activate the lighting and look at the clock from different points of view to pass the adhesive that removes the impurities, we remember that if we leave any fiber inside it will be almost impossible for us to remove it again once installed.
Now that we have made sure we have the watch completely clean, we are going to add the crystal placement mold to proceed with the installation. We remove the glass protector and slowly place it while pressing from the center to the outside to eliminate as much air as possible. If a small bubble remains, the glass itself will expel it between one and two days, so we should not worry too much. Now we only have to worry about enjoying our watch without too much fear, since this protector has a lifetime guarantee. You can get it from 29,99 euros on Amazon, an exceptional opportunity. It is clear that we are not facing a cheap protector, but the firm gives quality guarantees that are difficult to match.
Well, I bought one and the fact that the bubbles disappear in 24 hours nothing. They don't go away.
