so the sapphire crystal on our watch not scratch resistant?

It is scratch resistant, but I am sure many things will be able to leave a mark (coin, bag zipper, stone, door edge etc)...

It works like an army helmet. Direct hits, close to zero degrees, a bullet will still penetrate, most other angles will be deflected off.

And because of the way it is made, it is slightly brittle & prone to chips.

Hope this helps!

Man made sapphire crystal do have man made error. I will make a visit down to ask them what is that first fine circular line at 12 o'clock. If they can do for me remove it fine be it charge to me or not, if not they said will not harm the watch i live with it till next servicing.

The thing is it cut so nicely small circle, at first i though reflection of the lume close look one circle, use a loupe, like fine scratch. so fine that only i was wiping my watch then i saw it.

I think i just need a explanation that's all from them.

The "sapphire glass" on our watches, are man made. They are not the real deal semi precious stone.

I got a prob, when i first bought my watch, i saw something like scratch, only a loop can see, send in rsc said i wanna replace the crystal, they once asked me why i wanna replace, they told me stain, i still go ahead with the replacement.

Now recently or today i saw circular fine line used a 30x to see like scratch. I can tolerate scratch on case or small dings but not crystal.

My watch still under 2 years warranty, what should i do?

Go and buy a handphone screen protector and cut to the size of your watch crystal...

Just kidding, don't think too much bro... no watch is scratch proof... if you still can't stand the fine scratches on the crystal, sell me cheap cheap and buy a new one for yourself... kidding again....
