Apple Watch Screen Protectors are required for all Apple Watch Series 1-5.
Apple Watch is quickly becoming a need in our daily lives. We wear it to meetings, dates, sports activities, and other events on a daily basis. Some harsh things, such as table corners, will unavoidably scratch the watch screen due to continuous use. As a result, Apple Watch owners will require an Apple Watch screen protector to safeguard the screen and ensure its long-term endurance.
We'll examine two types of screen protectors in this article: the Simple Screen Protective Film and the Tempered Glass Screen Protector. You will be able to select the most appropriate one for your favorite Apple Watch after reading this post.
Table of Comparison
1. Coverage:
The tempered glass 9H screen protector is a 3D protective layer that protects the Apple Watch's surface as well as its four curved corners. The screen protector's black curved edge gives optimum protection from all sides. It successfully keeps dust and fluids out of the watch's inner workings.
The basic protective film is a 2D protective layer that protects the Apple Watch's surface (screen). The protective coating will protect the screen from scratches and fluids after you apply it. The protective layer will not protect the four curved corners of your Apple Watch if it unintentionally hits a table corner. Apple Watch's four sides and edges can cause scratch marks.
To summarize, the tempered glass screen protector provides more extensive covering than the protective film in terms of coverage.
2. Protective Level
Apart from basic anti-scratch, anti-dust, and waterproof capabilities, the tempered glass 9H screen protector can also resist oil and fingerprints. What makes these two characteristics so important? On the screen of a smartphone or an Apple Watch, fingerprints are always an issue. Fingerprints might stick to the screen due to the oil and grime on our fingers. As a result, if there are less fingerprints and grease on the screen, it will remain clean and crystal clear. This screen protector also has an oleophobic layer and is composed of 9H tempered glass. It protects the Apple Watch screen with a military-grade tough protection.
The major functions of the protective film are anti-scratch, anti-dust, and waterproof. If you unintentionally hit the water sink and splash some water on the Apple Watch screen, it will not be severely harmed. It serves as an additional layer of screen protection.
To summarize, this screen protector outperforms the 2D protective film in terms of protection.
3. Transparency & Sensitivity
Both the protective film and the 9H screen protector function admirably in terms of Apple Watch screen transparency and sensitivity. These two screen protectors are transparent to the point where you can't tell there's a protective layer on the screen. The touch screen's sensitivity will be intact, and it will feel like an ultra-thin second skin. The tactile sensations will remain smooth and pleasant. Both of these screen protectors are capable of shielding the screen from impediments while maintaining its transparency and sensitivity.

5. Applicability:
There are four sizes of Apple Watch screen protector film: 38mm and 42mm for Apple Watch Series 1-3, and 40mm and 44mm for Apple Watch Series 4.
Only the Apple Watch Series 4 and 5 are compatible with the Tempered Glass screen protector. There are two sizes available: 40mm and 44mm, which are ideal for protecting the screens of the Apple Watch 4 and 5.
I hope you now have a better idea of the differences between these two Apple Watch screen coverings. You can choose whether you want a basic or advanced level of watch protection.
