Versa Screen Scratches

[ShortBeckie]

Does anyone else have a Versa that seems to be easily scratching (on the screen)? I haven't even worn mine for 24 hours and I already have several scratches on the screen, one of which appears quite deep.

A screen protector is a must!!! All the device screens scratch...

[SunsetRunner]

Will it still look just as sleek with the protection?! That’s what I’m wondering 😕

If you just put on a screen protector it will still look sleek.... if you buy a bumper all around it looks funny....honestly I have the ionic and the casing around the watch I never had a problem with . I’m expecting the same with my versa ......screen protector has always kept it looking new and fresh.

Same. I bought and had these before I even received my Versa. I had major issues with the screen cracking and scratching with my Blaze, and was more prepared for this one!

[daniellemarie94]

just purchased a screen protector and a bumper for my Versa will have it by Saturday! 

[GregJaxFL]

So it scratched itself while you were sleeping?

Think about that.

[Bobled]

Ok. That was funny Greg.

Not too bad I have the Rose Gold finish with a Champagne colored band[Image]

I would recommend a screen protector but not the bumper/case because if you put a case on your watch it won't fit the charging port for your watch. You literally have to take off the band each time to take off the case so you can charge it. I rather risk the scratches on my silver aluminum case rather than deal with the hassle of taking it apart each charge.

Im with @Stollalong on this. Screen protectors are a must for me, but I can put up with scratches on the casing. It is only alumimium so it will scratch. I use IQ Shields on my Ionic and find them excellent. Easy to install (wet install) and you cant see it is on there.

[Jujube289]

Is it full coverage? There are few reviews on Amazon on IQshield but the negative ones mentioned a mystery notch/cut-out that leaves part of the Versa face exposed.

Six days in no scratches. On my first swim I hit the lane rope once and it has left 1 big deep scratch. Time to get screen protectors.

Hearing about the non durable screen on the Versa is very disappointing.  When I bought my charge 2 I ignored the warnings, but they were very true as the screen was very easily scratched. I was hoping I could upgrade to the new versa, but apparently not. Fitbit can not keep churning out junk without consequences.

[kogiboo]

I love the versa and now I have a screen protector. So don't use before
getting one. Still **ahem**s me it didn't come with one. Fitbit would have
known from testing.

I agree with  @Prado I bought mine from Best Buy and got their warranty so I feel more at ease. But I still bought a screen protector and case (even though it’s a hassle to take on and off to charge but not a big inconvenience). I’ve hit my watch on door knobs and such so this case has been pretty good lol.  

[Mike614]

I have used watches for ever and never had to use screen protectors and
with reasonable use they did not get scratched. My cell phone does not
have a screen protector and never gets scratched, but then again it is made
of a durable material (unlike the Fitbit). I just will not buy another
Fitbit until this issue is taken care of. Just use some Gorilla glass for
crying out loud.

[Par007]

Fitbit are not made to last, straps break and the screens scratch, better to pay more money and get a product that jas sapphire crystal face. However these cost more money.

I wouldn't buy anyother.

I've had good luck so far with my Charge 2, Blaze, and now the Versa's screen. 

No scratches on any of them, but I'm pretty careful with my tech.

[melissakdpnas]

Mine is now covered in scratches and apparently that is not covered under the warranty. Incredibly frustrating.
