IQShield Screen Protector Compatible with Garmin Forerunner® 970/570/965 (47mm) (6-Pack) Ultra Thin, Anti-Scratch Anti-Bubble Clear TPU Film

Purchase a screen protector immediately after purchasing your new watch. I say this because I made the mistake of not having a screen protector. My watch face was clean and undamaged for about 5 months, but somehow my watch face had mysteriously gotten several of minor scratches on the glass. I have no idea how that happened and if it was even preventable which is why I’m telling you to get a screen protector if you haven’t already, it is totally worth it!This one specifically is great. It’s easy to install, and you get 6 protectors for a very good price. After installing, if done right, the screen protector is perfectly secured and I personally can’t tell there’s a protector on my watch, even the touch on the screen feels nearly identical to the regular watch face. I’m yet to see any delay or negative effect on the watches performance due to the protector. Lastly, if you have scratches on your watch already, (like myself) the screen protector will hide the scratches at certain angles and make the scratches less visible at other angles, however, they will still be visible depending on the severity of the scratch.Hope this helps!

Great protector for my watch face. I'm glad it comes in a pack of 10 because it took 3 tries to get it on right. The instructions are awful, it shows pictures of a phone not a watch for starters. But once I finally got it on correctly it fit perfectly and unnoticeable

The instructions don't make a lot of sense but it's easy enough to figure out on your own. The screen is hardly noticeable once applied. All the bubbles disappeared after 72 hours.

Great fit, def saves the watch from a beating when wearing. Good price quality product,

I dislike giving 1 star reviews. But in this case I have to warn you. I was able to get the protector on my Forerunner 970 but it took all 6 protectors to do it. The instructions on the box are for a cell phone. I followed the instructions but and could not figure out how to get the protector on. Every time the protector was upside down. Turns out, they put the stickers on every protector on the wrong side. I had to manually take it apart and install it. Not worth the money since it’s the manufacturer’s fault that I had to use all 6.On a positive note, once installed it’s nice. It does contour to the glass on the FR970 edges too.

I prefer tempered glass protectors these days, but with Garmin putting beveled glass on the 965, I needed to look at something else. I also avoided liquid applications after not having much luck with ones I tried years ago. But I am glad I tried these.Thanks to the liquid application I was able to slide the protector around until I got it perfectly aligned, which is a challenge with no corners to line up. This is cut perfectly, you can't even tell there is a proetctor on the watch. I was able to use my thumbs and included squeegee to smooth it perfectly over the edges during installation.The appearance is great right off of the bat. Even though it is not glass, it is glossy, clear and smooth. Time will tell how durable and scratch resistant these are, but so far after a couple of weeks, it still looks great. I believe this is the best solution for protecting the Forerunner 965.

I was skeptical about the screen protector after reading some reviews, but I had no problem with the installation, it looks and works great! I suggest reading through the instructions beforehand so you know what to expect. That is something I highly suggest if you want a near perfect application. The gap between the screen protector, and the metal on the watch is so minimal that I have no complaints. In fact, it makes sense that there is a tiny gap. I still don’t see something being able to get in between and crack the screen because it will either hit the screen protector or the metal first.Little tip: Spray down both sides of the screen protector generously, then squeegee the excess water out from underneath the screen protector so that you can center the screen protector before it starts to dry. Once you have it centered and it feels like it’s drying (not moving), then palm the beveled edges down for a few minutes.I’m very happy with the application. There are no bubbles and no raised/peeled-back edges!

Decent screen coverage on my Forerunner 965. Reason for 3 stars is that is took me 3 tries to get it on properly as the instructions, or lack thereof are horrible. So I wasted 3 screens.
