Very light surface scratches on OHR

Former Member over 5 years ago

Hi, everyone! I've had my FR245M for a couple of weeks. This week I noticed very light surface scratches on the OHR. They are not cracks by any means (like the ones I've seen posted on these forums) and can't even be felt when I touch the OHR, but I've been super careful with it. I clean it everyday after my workout and make sure to carefully dry it.
From what I've seen online seems to be common and should not affect the sensors in any way but I just wanted input from the community to confirm it's something normal and that it can happen even if you are very careful with it.
I've attached a couple of pics. Thanks in advance!

I had the same problem. After one month of use, the sensor showed several small scratches. Even taking alot of cares with the watch. I dont know if any dirt enters between the arm and the watch during the use. Anyway, I expected to be build with a more robust material, at the end it is a Garmin watch.
