Screen protector possible on Instinct Crossover? And does it help against condensation issues?

Hi all,

there are reports about screen condensation on the Garmin Instinct Crossover 2 models.

So I am wondering two things:

Is it possible to place a screen protector on the Instinct Crossover? Or does that interfere with the hands of the clock?

And also - would a screen protector help against the condensation issues?

Many thanks!

Stevo

Thank you for your answer. I thought maybe the screen protector could help with this issue, but it seems the condensation problem comes from something else then. Does anybody know why this only happens to the Instinct Crossovers?

Hello 7018218

While it is possible to add a screen protector to the watch, Garmin does not recommend this. Since Garmin does not have screen protectors directly, these would need to be purchased from a 3rd party. If eventually this were needing to be removed/replaced , the included adhesive will damage the surface of the native watch face material.

You are correct, a screen protector would not prevent fogging of the display. But here are some details provided by Garmin if you are experiencing this. Troubleshooting Condensation Under the Screen of a Water Resistant Outdoor Watch
