Polywatch is for removing fine scratches so the scratches have to be minor, or it's used as a final polish. Trying to remove large/deep scratches with it is not really the proper use. If the scratches are deep enough, you will just make them shiny rather then remove them. Using Polywatch on this for example, would be mostly useless: Generally, polyWatch fills in the scratches. PolyWatch is a repair tool for watch scratches so the blur is a side affect. I have not tried using polyWatch on my lenses so don’t take my word for it but from what I know it shouldn't intentionally cause blur. not to diss polywatch ... but I bought a bottle of "generic poly carbonate headlight polish" ... big ass bottle for 0.99 ... its the same - works the same Sometimes you will notice that the crystal will look better 24-48 hours after treatment, than immediately after application. That's because you've given the fresh melted plastic a chance to harden. PolyWatch is a cream that contains a very light abrasive material that will gently but effectively grind down your acrylic/plastic watch glass crystal, resulting in a scratch-free finish.

When you are done, it will leave your acrylic or plexi crystal flawless and free of scratches, allowing perfect legibility onto the dial. The benefit of this is that you don’t have to replace your whole watch crystal in case it only has scratches. This is both a cheaper and more effective alternative. As with all polishing, move through grits from coarse to fine, making sure that you remove all of the previous marks before moving on, and finished with Polywatch. Please excuse the dust... What Polywatch (or any other similar product) does is to use a super-fine grit to create enough friction to allow a tiny amount of plastic to melt into the scratches and fill them in. It looked very similar to your watch. It took me about 45-60 minutes and I was rubbing the crystal using polywatch really hard using the cloth that came with the polywatch. Would never rub it that hard on a hesalite. Polywatch alone does remove the tiny scratches and gives a nice overall finish, sort of like a coat of wax on a car finish.

The problem

PolyWatch is a simple and reliable solution against scratches. The unique PolyWatch paste, which has proven itself millions of times, even removes deep scratches! It is not without reason that PolyWatch is the number 1 worldwide when it comes to watch polishes for acrylic glass. The innovative plastic deformation technology, which slightly softens the clear lacquer on the glass to fill in damaged spots, polishes away scratches and blemishes in an instant. Instructions You must remove all scratches at one grit, before moving to the next, and eventually you will get it clear: When you are done and start seeing results, wipe off any residue from the crystal. You can do this with a clean cloth. Some toothpastes might work. We used to use Gleem over here when I was a kid. Don't know if Gleem is still sold. It was pretty abrasive. Such a toothpaste might be harsh on a watch crystal. I haven't encountered any similarly abrasive toothpastes in some years.

I believe that AR coatings are only applied to the inside of the watch crystal. If this is the case, then the scratches you are seeing are not to the coating, but to the sapphire itself. Sapphire is incredibly hard to scratch (bravo for finding a way to scratch it), but that also means it is equally as hard to polish.With the included polishing cloth, rub in a circular motion, with firm, constant pressure. The heat from the friction will allow the Polywatch to smooth out the crystal's surface. I apply Polywatch with a slightly damp cloth and rub in a circular manner. Works great on acrylic crystals and, with enough elbow grease, will even remove some fine scratches from mineral glass. I have lenses scratched by my glasses. Both in the upper middle of the lens. You mention blur... and VR headsets are already blurry. Will using this just cause worse blur so that trying to look through the scratches might be better? My PO have some scratch. I think the scratches is on the AR coating. I have tried to use polywatch, but it doesnt help..

The polishing process is the same no matter what you are polishing typically, so an acrylic crystal, metal, etc. makes no difference to what the process is on the most basic level - replacing larger scratches with progressively smaller scratches. The short answer is that yes, Polywatch works to remove scratches from watch crystals. Note, however, that this only applies to watch crystals made of plastic, hesalite, or acrylic. Polywatch will not work on sapphire or glass crystals as the abrasive material is not able to grind down the glass as it can with plastic. If you use Polywatch on glass crystals, it can instead cause scratches. How does PolyWatch work? Plastic watch glasses scratch very easily and replacement is not always possible, particularly where the case is plastic. Polywatch slightly disolves and grinds down the surface of the plastic watchglass to smooth the edges of the scratch and fill the gaps with dissolved material. I will sometimes, depending on the watch, use a coarse as 400 grit to start - all done by hand and you do need to be careful not to overdo it. It looks worse before it looks better: i just use a generic "polycarbonate headlight polisher" from pep boys or so - I had sitting around in the garage ... works just as fine ... never had a scratch that I couldnt get rid of

Polywatch is so mild an abrasive I have never bothered to tape off anything and I just make sure to keep the cloth with the polish on it on the crystal alone and not rub the Polywatch on the remainder of the watch. I'm curious about Polywatch, or any single product for that matter for a full crystal polish. I assumed that to get a good polish (ranging from scratch elimination all the way to a high shine), you need to progressively decrease the Article size of the abrasive material so that you correct the larger scratches first and then get finer and finer to finally achieve a high shine with the final grit size....I would be skeptical about a single paste, unless perhaps the paste is made up particles that break down into smaller and smaller particle sizes as you work it into the crystal.
