1 month and looks like the day I put it on. UPDATE - 3 years later
Update after 3 years of use.Purchased again recently. 4 disks lasted me the three years. One I messed up on applying, and another I replaced on my Fenix 3 when I sold it looking as good as the day I bought it. This size works perfect on the 6x Pro.I put a lot of wear on my device, hiking, backpacking, working on the house and car. When it gets scratched, usually just a wipe and it looks new again. Eventually though with enough scratches it is time to replace. Not a problem since they're so inexpensive.One got melted when removing something from the oven and I bumped it against the hot rack, but the watch face was completely fine. Without that mishap, I expect they'd average about 1 year each.------------Really pleased with this screen protector. I've used these film-type screen protectors on my phone and didn't care for them. They had too much of an orange-peel texture. I only use tempered-glass now for my phone and had ordered a tempered glass protector for my Fenix3 (from the other large online market). What I didn't realize is that the Fenix3's glass is very-slightly curved. So a rigid tempered glass protector lifts from the edges until only the center is sticking. No go. BTW, any seller that says a tempered-glass protector works for the non-saphre Fenix3 is lying. I wasn't even able to leave a review for that because the seller refunded me. I can't say if that is the case for the saphire edition. I would guess the saphire crystal is completely flat and it would work, but then, what's the point of using a protector on a saphire crystal?Anyway, I was reluctant to try the film-type but figured it was my only option. Very glad I did. These are super smooth. No orange-peel texture. There is an extremely slight texture that is only visible if looking for it. Even when looking for it you really have to hold it at the right angle against the right light. Not at all a problem since I don't use my watch to look at light reflections. It does not distort the watch screen at all.Even better, before I put this protector on, I found myself constantly wiping the watch face. It holds oils and you really have to wipe to get the glass clear. This film is resistant to smudges. Wiping with my finger will get it clearer than a quick wipe with a cloth on the original glass. A quick wipe with a cloth is all it takes to get it perfectly clear.The fit on the glass is exact. To the point that if you have the first edge slightly off, it will overlap onto the bezel. I wouldn't mind if they were just slightly smaller so that didn't happen, but then I know there are just as many people who would be bothered by a perfectly centered protector that didn't go to the edge. It's really not even a problem overlapping to the bezel. It doesn't cause that edge to lift or be noticeable at all. Even after a month it doesn't show signs of wearing on that slight bit that overlaps.Adhesion is very strong. I actually got half-way putting it on and realized my edge was not exact. So I started to try to remove it but figured I was going to end up stretching it beyond usability if I tried. I don't expect this is coming off until I'm ready to remove it. Even with the slight overlap on one side.

Great protection
Installs easily and lasts long. Nice that it comes with 6 shields.

Don't get frustrated...there is a solutions for the curved face
As mentioned in other reviews, fitting this screen protector to the curved screen on the Vivosmart HR+ is a challenge. Certainly, watching the installation videos is necessary, as they show you generically how to manage the "wet" installation technique needed. This said, I couldn't find a HR+ specific installation video, so I was on my own to figure out how to deal with the curved screen. Here's what worked for me:1) Fit the protector to the flat surface on the top of the screen using the "wet' technique.2) With the band open, stand the watch with the face up and weight the extended band arms so the protector can dry with the screen face up. Do this in a quiet and protected area so dust doesn't get under the "side flaps" which aren't yet adhered to the screen.3) After the screen is largely dry (about 2 hours) wipe from the middle to the outside, pressing the flaps over the rounded edges.4) Once fully adhered, allow the protector to dry overnight.This process seems to address the challenges of fitting the curved face. Sadly, I had to "experiment" with 4 protectors before I perfected the technique. Perhaps, the folks at IQ Shield are snooping these reviews and will provide replacements. If not, I guess it finally worked and I am only out $8.00.

Minor fitment issue, but otherwise great. Easy application, clear and responsive screen. UPDATE. New version much better fit.
Update 5/11. Manufacturer sent me an updated version that fits much better. I've included a picture showing the old vs new, as well as a pic of the included installation accessories. Rating changed from 4 stars to 5.I generally don't use screen protectors on phones, what with the excellent scratch protection provided by Gorilla Glass. Didn't really plan on one for this watch, either. Unfortunately, Garmin inexplicably chose to use hardened plastic on the face of the Vivoactive HR, which is a premium-price activity tracker. It's bound to get banged up and scratched, so I figured I'd better protect it post-haste. I ordered the IQ Shield Screen Protector in advance of receiving my VHR. As it happened, I managed to pick up the VHR at a big box store on the same day as the protector arrived (May 3rd). Still technically hasn't been released yet, so I lucked out.This is my first experience with a liquid application screen protector, so I was a little leery of the application process. Needn't have worried, it was a cinch to apply. Clean your watch face, wash your hands, peel off the Screen Protector, spray the included liquid on the sticky (tacky, really) side, then plop it down on the watch face. Squeeze out any bubbles with the included rubber squeegee, and you're good to go.I installed it last night, then promptly left it alone then went to bed. It's recommended to give it 12-24 hours to dry before use, so a good nights sleep was in order. 9 hours later, I'm messing around with it and everything seems to be just fine. The screen is perfectly responsive and there are no obvious bubbles. It feels smooth as glass, as if there were nothing applied at all. The screen protector does nothing to decrease glare or reduce the smudges from fingerprints, but it wasn't advertised as doing so, so that's fine.The reason for 4 stars vs 5? Well, it doesn't cover 100% of the watch face. Maybe 98%. I've included a picture where you can clearly see a gap on the left side and on the bottom. It isn't horrible, but it makes it obvious (if you're looking) that you didn't get it perfectly centered. I would think if it was sized properly it would be easier to use the watch face as a guide to get it just right. I'm also guessing that, as an early release for something unreleased, perhaps later versions will fit better. For now it's not too big of a deal, but worth mentioning.Time will tell if this manages to keep the VHR scratch-free. Most of IQ Shield's products seem to get good ratings, so I'm fairly confident I made the right choice. If there are any significant issues that pop up in the future, I'll come back and report.In the meantime,Official Seal of Approval applied.
