Facts About (2 Pack) Supershieldz Designed for Garmin Instinct and Instinct Solar Tempered Glass Screen Protector, Anti Scratch, Bubble Free
Yes it would be difficult. There is a small lip you could possibly catch but not 100% sure haven’t had to change mine yet
Removing this thing is absolutely terrifying. I ended up using the small blade of my Swiss army knife. There was a lot of cracking and chipping I was thinking oh my goodness I’ve ruined the crystal of my watch! Fortunately it was only the screen protector that was breaking and chipping. I finally removed it without any… Removing this thing is absolutely terrifying. I ended up using the small blade of my Swiss army knife. There was a lot of cracking and chipping I was thinking oh my goodness I’ve ruined the crystal of my watch! Fortunately it was only the screen protector that was breaking and chipping. I finally removed it without any damage to my watch. There’s no way to get under the screen protector you basically have to break it to remove it.
I’m not 100% sure, but the glass shouldn’t prevent any solar charging.
That would be a question better suited for the watch listing rather than the Supershieldz glass protectors, but since I have a Garmin Instinct, yes it’s waterproof. These shields fit absolutely perfect to the point you can’t even tell it’s on the watch.
no
I’m not 100% sure but i think it will. Good luck mate
My guess is that it would fit but I can’t be sure.
I’m -assuming- that Garmin didn’t change the size of the face of the Instict 2 but you’re best bet would be to contact Garmin tech support .
Yes, you can. I do and have no problems with the adhesive on the screen protector. I will defiantly recommend this screen protector.
Yes
3" +- 1/16
The only difference between instinct and the tactical is the branding on the bottom and the software features. This will fit both
I can’t say that I’ve had it completely covered in dirt or mud, but I wear the watch all the time and work outdoors. No dirt between the protector and bezel. The fit is pretty solid.
I’m assuming that all Garmin Instinct editions are the same size, with the only difference being the functioning of the watch. Shouldn’t be an issue.
Info About (2 Pack) Supershieldz Designed for Garmin Instinct and Instinct Solar Tempered Glass Screen Protector, Anti Scratch, Bubble Free (Reviews From Amazon)
I bought this for my Garmin Instinct watch. While I know it is a rugged watch, I would hate to have the screen scratched or broken for any reason. I like the idea of being able to remove the screen if there are any scratches on it. This product is the exact size of the screen, so getting it out of the watch may be an issue down the road since the screen is recessed in the watch. In the photo I attached, you can sort of see the edge of the glass. For now, this watch screen is exactly what I needed.
Because the Instinct watch screen is recessed and the protector is the exact size, I had zero trouble getting it on and honestly probably didn’t need the guides it came with, but for those of you with a different watch, the kit comes with guide stickers and cleaning materials of all sorts to make sure you get it centered.
I got the watch and the protector in the same delivery. Before I even charged the watch I set about applying the screen protector. I peeled the stock film off the watch and immediately applied the screen protector.
This isn’t my first rodeo, I use these on all my phones and have had several smart watches.
There’s a HUGE BUBBLE right over the word “Garmin” at the top of the face. I can push it to the sides but it returns within 30 seconds. I can’t get a hook on the sides to remove it.
Hopefully it will come out with sun and time, but I have doubts. I’ll update if it goes away. But as it stands I wouldn’t recommend these. My experience appears to be the minority in the reviews, so your luck may vary.
****UPDATE – the next day****
I put a little vegtable oil on a q-tip and put some near the edge of the bubble, I then pushed the bubble out with the q-tip. Instead of filling up with air, this pushed the oil under the screen protector making it adhere to the screen. I then wiped up any excess oil. So far so good, no bubble everything’s golden.
I use Supershieldz for our phones and wanted something as good for my new Garmin Solar Instinct watch. Even though the Instinct is supposed to be able to take a beating like my Gshocks I dont want to risk the screen getting messed up. This screen protector fit perfectly and took all of a minute to clean the screen of dust and install. Not a single bubble and I already know from from using these screens for our phones that they will do their job to protect against scratches, cracks, and punctures. The watch screen is still crystal clear and no issues with the Solar charging so far. I absolutely would recommend this over competitors if you have the Garmin Instinct watch.
Purchased the Supershieldz because a co-worker had his Garmin Instinct lens crack after being struck by a simunition round. The product was shipped very fast, the instructions were easy and simple. The Supershieldz protectors adhered well, no bubbles, and appear to actually enhance the clarity of my Instinct in daylight conditions. Time (and exposure at work) will tell, as to durability, but the product appears to be everything anticipated.
The install process is pretty simple. Clean your watch glass with the included supplies. Use the adhesive sticker to get any dust or particles off, then carefully apply the tempered glass onto your watch. Press out any bubbles and voila.
I would NOT want to try to remove this. There’s not much lip at the edge and it’s rounded, so getting anything in to break it free is going to be exceedingly hard.
I’ve whacked the hell out of my wrist and watch a few times since I got it in December, including twice on the edge of a counter directly on the watch face. No scratching, no damage, no shatter. Perfect.
The oleo-phobic aspect of the protector is wonderful as well. You can simply wipe the surface clean with almost anything and any oils just swipe away.
I bought the Instinct partially for the features and partially for its toughness. So I didn’t think I would need to get a screen cover. However, after having it for about a week I realized it would be smart to protect the investment and ordered these. They were super simple to install, we’re sized almost exactly to the screen diameter. I followed the instructions to clean the screen first and remove any dust that popped the sticky backing off the screen cover and pushed it onto the screen. Had a small blubber initially, but after wiping with included cloth all the bubbles came out. Very good investment at a cheap price.
Perfect fit! Easy install! A little protection will go along ways.
I would highly recommend this protector! I just put it on my new Instinct watch and it is great! It comes in a 2-pack, with everything you need for a perfect install-alcohol wipe, dust remover (sticky), install sticky strip (to place it perfectly) and dust-free wiping cloth, all times two, for both protectors. It fits perfectly, and is crystal clear. Nice to know that if I ding it up after a while, I’ve got another one ready to go! It’s great!
Install was kinda hinky getting it lined up correctly. But once you get that done, you probably won’t have to do it again. I have put this watch and face protector through absolute hell. It’s been covered in wood stain and paint ( wipes off with no scratches once dry) It has made it through sandblasting various things. I’ve banged it on rocks while hiking and banged it harder on rocks when falling on the trail. About 5-8 times a day I will knock the watch face on doors, railings, door jambs, truck doors, tailgates. As for replacing the face protector, I cannot give a review. I’ve had this watch for a year and this face protector since day 4. I haven’t had to replace it yet and probably won’t have to for awhile.
I put this screen protector on my Garmin Instinct Solar watch because I broke my Apple Watch 3 times, I’m just tough on watches (or clumsy). Went on easy, couldn’t even tell it was on, 5 days into it, I’m at work and a piece of chain hits the watch face, the screen protector cracked, but not the watch face. Watch was in perfect condition. A little tricky getting off to replace, but the second one looks just as good. Will definitely buy another set of these.
