Scratched displays are annoying - because good GPS watches are not exactly cheap and because scratches impair readability, especially in sunlight.
With the tested Polywatch Plastic Polish All the fine scratches could actually be removed and the deeper scratches at least "rounded off" and minimised to such an extent that the surface became much more attractive and the annoying light reflections largely disappeared. However, the very deep scratches took much longer than 2 to 3 minutes to polish. After processing, these are no longer sharp-edged, light-refracting craters, but can only be recognised when viewed from the side - but they have not completely disappeared either. I repeated the recommended process about 5 to 6 times, i.e. polished for about 15 minutes. A plastic chip for shopping trolleys, absolutely flat on one side and wrapped with a piece of the polishing cloth supplied, proved to be helpful. The tube will probably suffice for a similar polish. With a price starting at around six euros (seen at Amazon , and for Voelkner and for Conrad Electronics ) probably a worthwhile job in most cases with visible success. You just shouldn't expect really deep scratches to disappear completely - that would probably require a lot more material to be removed. The pack contains a tube with 5 grams of polish and a piece of polishing fleece.
