Customer Reviews of Suunto Protective Face Cover
I have recently bought a Suunto T6D as a replacement for my ageing T6. A mistake. But this review isn't about the T6D, rather the display shields.
The shield fits the T6D well, but adds a lot of bulk to the watch and looks ridiculous. The cover darkens the display and makes it more difficult to read. That said, the device will certainly do what it is designed to do and protect the watch face - if you don't mind the watch design being trashed by its presence. Unfortunately, it's a must. I don't know why the designers at Suunto removed the protective bezel from the T6 leaving the lens of their RUGGED SPORTS WATCH completely unprotected but the price of their actions is this shield. T6 - five years, not one scratch to the glass, T6D - 3 scratches in as many weeks. Polywatch is completely ineffective by the way.
For me, the jury is still out. My Vector HR is already quite bulky and the addition of this rubber protector adds more bulkaround the bezel and detracts from the overall appearance. I have decided only to fit this when embarking on adventurous activity rather than every day use. Despite a few nervous moments when stretching it over my watch, it appears strong enough to withstand being taken on and off as required. Nevertheless, it looks up to the job of protecting the face.
I bought this shortly after getting my first scratch on my Suunto Vector. I should have bought it at the same time I bought the watch.
A little bit of a struggle to get it in place but once there it's not going to move or come off and it provides excellent protection. It does reduce the visibility of the watch face a little and restricts movement of the bezel. Due to the plastic material,I am pretty certain it will require regular rinsing with soapy water to keep it dust free and clean.But it doesn't really add much bulk to the watch. It is barely noticeable in day to day use and provides much needed protection.
