For some of the first adopters of the Microsoft Band 2 – those that have been owners since it released in October 2015 – the ZAGG has been a bit nightmarish. I can usually put up with the loose corner for another week or so before needing to replace the shield.

When I installed it the first time it had a couple of bubbles on the bottom edge but the company sent me out another set of covers, no charge of course, and the second time was a charm.

While it took me two tries to get it right, my application of the armoursuit protector looks perfectly invisible. The ArmorSuit MilitaryShield that I chose comes in a 2-pack with the promise of lifetime replacements. Screen has protected my phone well and when I did have an issue the company was great, very quickly responsive honored their warranty service.

It also features corrosion and moisture protection to prevent substances from migrating through the film to attack underlying substrates. So all in all, I would have to give the Armor Suit Military Shield for Apple watch a big thumbs up for protecting my watch. With the application process it gives you the spray and a microfiber rag only and it gives you the most sloppiest look I have bubbles, streaks, and the sticky side makes the screen appear dirty. And for an extra challenge, with the new watches using more of the screen, protecting those glorious rounded corners and not cutting off the edges of the image is a must. And according to the manufacturer, the shield is equipped with self-healing technology, which will help eliminate minor scratches and dings that the film may pick up over time.

I was recently asked how happy I am with my final choice, the ArmorSuit MilitaryShield, and I think it’s worth a follow-up, considering there are now new Band 2 owners. Just a light spray on the screen and then a light spray on the protector seems to do a better job at adhering to the screen and when you lay it down on the screen spray a small amount on the screen protector itself so the squeegee can move smoothly to take out any bubbles.

The Shield needs to set for approximately 15 minutes before adhering to the curved edges of the watch face. I should also note if the shield has picked up any scuffs or paint, they can be easily cleaned up with a little isopropyl alcohol and gentle cleaning.

Since the shield is not tempered glass and since the film is fitted to protect the curved edges, the shield does not last as long as it’s tempered glass brethren. The Bad News is that I was going walking outdoors and sprayed bugspray on myself and it kinda destroyed the protector a bit since it now has a slight hazy look. If you are anything like me, the screen on your watch takes a greater beating than the phone and could definitely use some robust protection.

But if they are more durable it might be a reasonable compromise, time will tell as I only applied it yesterday.
