Scratch on Bezel of Garmin Forerunner

Hi all,

I recently did a little gardening and ended up scratching the bezel of my forerunner. I understand that the bezel is plastic, is there any way to remove/reduce the scratch marks ?

Any advice will be helpful!

It's Garmin's fault? If you dropped your cell phone and it broke, it's the manufacturer's fault…

I have not tried anything on watch face, but as far as wet sanding goes likely following a similar procedure for plastics/paint would work. Although to prevent issues I would start at the least grit step first... working way up as needed, then going back to the smoother grit steps. I have used toothpaste and electric toothbrush in final steps of sanding, could be a decent first try. I'm sure google has better ideas on this however.

Highly recommend these 8$ protectors (3pack) from amazon! Cant tell they are on!

I also got a scratch on my 945 watch face. I am very dissapointed and would have purchased these covers if suggested by Garmin.

I will try.

Anyone successful rubbing out a scratch on the face?

It's Garmin's fault? If you dropped your cell phone and it broke, it's the manufacturer's fault for not suggesting a protective case? Shame on your automotive manufacturer for not suggesting a windshield shade and now your dashboard is sun faded. Classic example of diverting blame from oneself.
