Our Review of the Suunto Face Protector
The Suunto Face Protector protects your Suunto watch face from nicks and scratches. Plus, it doubles as a magnifying glass when you take it off your watch. The Face Protector includes two shields per package.
The Face Protector fits most Suunto Wristop Computer models. The Face Protector does not work with the Suunto X10 series, the Suunto X9i, X9M/i, or the Suunto 9 series (M9 and G9).
(Observer SS/SS and TI/TI ship with a hinged band that will make it more difficult to install. Replacing the metal band with the elastomer band will ease use.)

Initial impression
Reviewer: Michael , San Diego, CA
Date: December 04, 2008
My initial impression wasn't very good. The product looks cheap and doesn't fit the watch. I have a Suunto X-lander that I have had going on 8 years and am very happy with it. The service you provide to clean/re-calibrate is fantastic. In my line of work, it demands a rugged heavy duty watch which the X-lander is. When I saw you had a shield for it I thought I'd try one to keep the face in good condition. The circular piece of the shield is far to small for the watch. I would like to see it match exactly the watch face with the angled edge on the bezel. I would also like to see a selection of colors for the side pieces (black to be a little more tactical for us military folks) I will keep it on my X-lander for a while to see if it actually protects it. Please make it to the quality and standard of your
wrist computers .

I got the protector for the obvious reason. It meets my needs and I am happy with the protection it offers. If you make the investment on the Suunto Watch spend the extra on the face protector to save the wear & tear on your investment

Face protector

It's too bulky and difficult to read through. If you want protection though it does do that, and can be removed after the threatening event

Face Protector
Reviewer: Ben B , Ft Wainwright, AK
Date: December 13, 2007
I only had it on the watch for a day or two. My vector watch is already pretty big, with the face protector attatched it is huge. While it makes the watch larger it also magnifies the display and it will protect the face. So if you are more concerned with appearances than function don't buy it. If you want to protect your watch face then get it. Two protectors come in one order. Next time I go to the field it will go back on. As for starting an emergency fire with it....... Good luck.

SUUNTO WATCH FACE PROTECTOR
Reviewer: Mike , California
Date: November 23, 2007
The watch face protector is a must for suunto watches. I use one on my Stinger and my Vector. The magnifying lense assists with underwater reading. The plastic watch face has a tendancy to scratch in harsh environments.

Although it looks a little weird, it certainly does the job it is designed to do.

Too clunky
Reviewer: Anonymous , Park City, UT
Date: October 14, 2007
The protector is a great idea (considering how easily the face gets scratched) but was poorly executed. It is much too thick and distorts the view of the numbers. In fact, it's harder to see through the protector than through scratches! Its bulky and looks terrible.
Why not just make the Suunto face more scratch resistant? Getting a scratch the first 24 hours of ownership isn't a sign of quality. (Though, I love everything else about the watch, so.....)
