Apple Watch Screen Repair Using the Nail Polish Method
In this video I try out a new method of repairing a scratched screen. We've all head about the toothpaste method but nail polish? That's a new one. I offer up my fairly new Apple Watch Series 6 as the guinea pig for this video. Let's find out how well it works.

no close up of after so we have no idea?
Nice trick buddy
Hello really liked the video
Glad you enjoyed
Good try mate. I was thinking of doing this and having watched I wont bother so it was helpful.
haha glad I could help I guess. I am going to trying using a CD scratch repair kit. I think that might do the trick.
This actually worked well for me! used just a clear Naiil polish (Sally Hansen) and regular strength Publix brand remover. it's not perfect... BUT WAY WAY better! I can't feel the scratches anymore and can only see them if I really try. I had one DEEP scratch (and long) and several milder scratches. Was afraid to try this... but glad I did! Should also add... I tried the toothpaste method.. many times... with little success.
did it still hold till now?
It's a solvent removing the fingerprint resistant oleophobic coating. It's easier to scratch the softer coating, so that's why some of the scratches disappear. I would order a replacement coating fluid and apply it or else your watch will look smudgy all the time.
where can one find one & what brand?
@@Alex_564 You apply a liquid on the top and let it bond to the screen. There’s a lot of brands out there because it’s just a chemical solution. It’s not super expensive, but I would not go with the cheapest option. It probably won’t be as good as the one applied by the factory. That’s why cheap tempered glass screen protectors smudge so easily
@@kylet3390Basically.. a liquid screen protector.
Did the scratches make it so you couldn’t use the screen I have that issue on my Apple Watch series 2
No I can still use the screen but it is very annoying to look down and see my beautiful watch all scratched up.
@@TheGeekZone ok
You didn’t show us the outcome like you did when you first started, really need to show us how it turned out in the light..
Yeah great way to earn a ton of thumbs down on your video you wasted so much time making
Your profile picture looks like white Xavier
Would have been nice to see a before and after.
Normal if it's a Mi Band watch 6
So a very important FYI- nail polish remover is acetone and acetone will absolutely remove oleophobic coating on your watch screen which is a big nope…
will also damage all the seals holding the watch together and giving it water resistance
@@Fuzzfoogerthen tape off the edges??🤯🤯
Why you didn’t show the result from close up? It’s kinda useless to watch the whole video
I would've thought the nail polish remover would take the coating off the glass! 🤷
Didn’t work for me
start of the procedure is at 3:30
Didn't want to give you a thumbs down because I really appreciated the effort, but unfortunately this did not work for me even after several attempts. I used two different "branded" nail polishes and neither filled in the scratches. Nevertheless, thank you!
I was thinking about trying a CD scratch repair kit. They are fairly inexpensive and it may give better results.
@@TheGeekZone did it work? I had the same crappy results unfortunately
You dont get an charging brick because environment, but replacing a piece of shit glass on a watch must be 327 euro's. So instead people trowing away more E-waste than saving the environment. The Charging brick dont get trowing away anytime. They should put the prices attractive to repair the watch instead buying a new one. 1 month old 7 serie... Already 2 scratches, my series 0 watch guess what? zero!. I almost believe apple is just making those watches weaker and weaker so people will buy them faster.
You could be right. They keep saying the glass is better but I honestly don't believe that either. I feel like the glass scratches way too easy. I thought they were supposed to be using sapphire glass too.
Pretty useless video if you fail to show us the end result in close up.
The front of my watch is fine, but I have a big scratch over the sensor. It’s completely functional, but because it is visible, Apple will offer me no trade in value. I’m going to give this a shot.
Clickbait lies plaguing KZhead once again
Does it work???
Not as well as I had hoped.
Wonder if it lasting over time.
No I don't think it will. For longer lasting results there are speciality cleaning kits that will do a better job.
Acetone or non Acetone NP remover, because there's a reason for non acetone and acetone , one may CAUSE more scratches because it's more abrasive for removing glitter polish which is a bitch btw to remove..... but that np remover I WOULD NEVER USE.... same reason you DO NOT USE WINDEX ON YOUR PC's Laptops, TV's , phones ect .... I'm a nut when it comes to scratches even smears or prints, that just my OCD.... I carry a littlie package of cell phone wipes for my phones and my watch, but I have tempered glass on all my devices , Still i want a clear shiny look on my shit at all times!!! I WOULD NEVER EVER PUT NAIL POLISH ON MY APPLE WATCH OR ANY ELECTRONICS, LET ALONE NP REMOVER!!!! F THAT !
Now I know I am not alone lol, I watched this with mixed emotions. Part of me wanted it to work theater part of me remembers whipping the faces off of my g.i. joes with nail polish remover . 🤣
why are you so mad
This is fake
Dislike
Maybe speak less and shorten your videos.
