Unfortunately there is a small gap where particles of dust can get in, but you can get rid of the dust with compress air. When I try to blow the dust away with my mouth I can get rid of the small strands of lint. I really don't notice the dust that much during normal wear unless I really focus on it. I am a little ocd about dust and stuff on my screen but I can live with the dust on the edge as long as there's none underneath in direct view of the face.
That is to be expected. If there was zero gap you really would never be able to get it off. There has to be a little room, so it can be installed without having to use a soft hammer to tap it into place.

It looks like the "SIKAI" brand is selling for a premium price. And there are others for sale on Ebay for less with the "Link Dream" brand.

If I get one of these, I'd probably get SIKAI not knowing anything about the cheaper "Link Dream" option. But has anyone tried the "Link Dream" version?

For what it's worth, I paid $10.19 for my SIKAI and am VERY happy with it. Most importantly, it came with a suction cup which made perfect installation a breeze and will likely aid in removal (I don't think that one comes with the Link Dream). There were a couple of extra surprises as well beyond the usual in the box, including a little string bracelet with a ceramic Chinese bead that I gave my daughter, and a fish-shaped headset wrap. I recieved it via EMS only 8 days after the order was placed, which was rather amazing.

And I bit that bait! That price is too good to pass up. They now cost $11.04 each. I've ordered 2. That's still a much better price than anywhere else. And if they can get it to me in less than 2 weeks, that's great.

I was looking at my watch the other day. And noticed the wrinkles on the screen from the protector I'm currently using. And was thinking how I would not have those with a glass protector. So I'm going to give the tempered glass a try. The additional protection will be nice to have. It's the kind of thing you wish you had if you don't get it and mess the watch up.

Got mine this afternoon and installed. Wow, it was super easy. If anyone is debating between tempered glass and a film protector, get tempered glass. No ripples, no waiting for it to settle in for a clearer look, no need to use a hair dryer :D .

It looks really nice. The fit is nice and firm. I do notice a slightly additional glossy shine when I tilt the watch face away from me. But none at all when it is facing me directly. And no real issues in direct sunlight, no more than before. Touch sensitivity has been impacted 0% IMHO.

Now that I have mine, I can say the extras are a stylus, which works with the watch or any similar screen. The stylus has a decorative bead with a red string tied on it.

What I have noticed is that with the SIKAI tempered glass screen protector on there are a lot of fingerprint now on my watch screen. Anyone also noticed that? It's like if the original POLED screen was much more oleophobic and the screen protector is not. It's annoying me.

Also, I find that visibility outdoor, even when the sky is cloudy, is very reduced when display is dimmed. Argh.

The glossy shine prevents me from seeing the screen when I'm driving for example. I was able to before putting the SIKAI on.

I weighting buying a Tesa Powerbond Extra strong roll,as advised above, just to remove it... ?

the watchface in your review...

Mine just arrived today. Already installed and stuff:

So far it came with a cool looking tin can with a plastic window on top (covered with a sticker), alcohol wipe, microfiber cloth, stickers to get rid of the dust and to guide the protector on, and, surprisingly, a cheap stylus and a few useless stuff for free.

The cut is extremely exact to a point where I have no idea how I would remove it. So my recommendation is the make sure you properly clean the surface and use the stickers to get rid of any dust cause once it's on it'll be extremely difficult to remove.

Once it's on, it adhere to the screen leaving no bubbles. The feel is nice about as smooth as a typical tempered glass screen protectors for phones. The sensitivity isn't affected, as sensitive as the actual screen.

One thing I like about it is that it gives the screen a little height so it makes the screen a bit more flush with the bezels. It definitely looks as if there is no protector on the screen.

I attached some pictures of what came in the package and how it looks on the watch. Don't mind the Skinomi body skin around the watch.
JDLion, what watch face is that in the pictures with your review?
