Product Description

THE PROBLEM Plastic watch crystals scratch very easily with the result that they soon look unattractive. Replacement of the crystal is not normally possible, especially where watches have plastic cases. THE SOLUTION Watch owners the world over suffer from this sort of problem, but now polyWatch, a new type of special-purpose polishing paste, offers them an extraordinarily simple solution. For the first time, consumers can remove scratches rapidly and cheaply from their plastic watch crystal by carrying out an easy-to-follow "do-it-yourself" procedure. Apply polyWatch to the watch crystal. Polish the scratched areas for 2-3 minutes with great pressure at a right angle to the scratches, using a piece of cotton wool. Deep scratches need to be treated more than once. Finally, remove any remaining polyWatch with a cloth. The tube contents of 5 ml is sufficient for approximately 10 uses. The plastic glass is very slightly dissolved and ground down by tiny abrasive particles. The edges of the scratch marks are then smoothed off and the cracks filled in with some of the original plastic from the watch crystal.

Customer Reviews

Great Stuff!
Really pleased with this product. From the two other reviews I expected it to get my crystal into better shape but not brand new shape. But, in fact, it looks brand new now. I had a very annoying scratch that must have been relatively superficial since it came completely off after only a few seconds of rubbing this stuff in without applying a lot of pressure. I had a longer and apparently deeper scratch which took a couple of applications with some serious rubbing (my thumb started getting hot from the friction!) for 2-3 minutes each to disappear, but it did disappear completely. Great stuff!

Works great with a little elbow grease
I bought a tube about a year ago and keep finding uses for it. I first bought it for a Polar heart rate monitor and I was able to eliminate all but the deepest scratches. I next used it on a couple of Timexs, a Swatch, an old Seiko, two other heart rate monitors and two Ipods. The last I checked I still have some polywatch left in the tube.

I received the best results if I shook the tube, then applied just a drop or two on the watch and then buffed it with a cotton ball for 5-10 minutes. After this initial buffing, grab another clean cotton ball and polish the face.

Great Watch Crystal Polisher
Works great for minor scratches. I had a deeper scratch that product wouldn't remove. So, I got a sandpaper assortment (from byadolia at eBay) and used 1200 grit until scratch was removed, then sanded with all grits up to 2500. Then I applied applied the Polywatch for about 10 minutes (used an old cotton t-shirt). Watch looks like new now. The whole procedure took about an hour. So, instead of wearing out your arm and using up a whole tube on one watch, consider this alternative.
