Reply to comment by DwelfGG_ in Left my Xm5's overnight on a box of TicTacs, woke up to this permanently printed on them. I hate TicTac :( by DwelfGG_

True, I bought a fancy watch and 2 days later scratched it. Was a painful week but after another week I noticed another fine scratch and then I realised I'm just enjoying it and using it as it should be and now it's no longer 'perfect' I don't need to worry about other minor marks, just enjoy it - it's mine, I don't have to return it - once I got over that it was bliss.

Also I dropped my XM2 headphones couple years back in my second week of ownership, 2 minor scuffs to the outer of the headphone which are noticeable, again - after that I felt bliss that I could now use them without worrying aha.

You got this, enjoy the brilliant ANC and relax in public transport with the knowledge your ears will be more comfortable than 90-100% of fellow passengers ;)

This is so me hahah. I remember getting the s21 ultra and feeling so bad about those minor scratches, the micro ones - now, after like an year of ownership and I don't gjve a single flip. I have 3 deeper scratches and it's kinda whatever. I think i really need to work on simply enjoying stuff and not worry as much. Warranty is there for a reason. If someone does break, the brand should have my back (if it falls under warranty that is)

Thanks 😊❤️

Curious about the watch you got that got scratched. Almost all expensive watches have sapphire crystal glass so it’s incredibly tough to scratch it. Or was it the bracelet? Depending on the colour and metal it’s possible to buff or polish the scratch out if it’s not a deep scratch

Wasn't the crystal or bezel, just the steel 👍

If it’s silver coloured steel I’d suggest looking into getting it buffed out. If it’s not too deep it can be a viable option. Or embrace the character it brings it :)

I was about to recommend a sapphire crystal for his next watch. I've had mine for over a decade and it's still scratch-free.

Almost all watches above low end should have sapphire crystal faces. It’s become a lot more common place and it’s much better for the Watch community. I used to sell watches and I found it’s more about teaching people that sapphire is even an option and why it’s worth it to save another $100-200 in the long run. My faces are fine after all this time, even when my bracelets are not
