Apple Watch Scratches

As with every Apple product launch, we get a new #SomethingGate thrown around to report issues with the product on social media. This time, its the Apple Watch and well, being made of Stainless Steel it gets scratched easily (#ScratchGate). People have begun reporting that after just mere days of wearing their new Apple Watch, they are beginning to see scratches on it even if they have been very careful with it.


This is neither unprecedented nor new, Stainless Steel is a soft metal and after polish, it becomes even more susceptible to scratches. The cheaper Apple Watch Sports variant has an aluminium casing with matte finish which does a great job of hiding scratches.

If you have purchased the Apple Watch Stainless Steel, its easy to get those scratches out for less than $5 and get that shiny new toy you just got, well, to shine again. All you need is some metal polish and a micro-fiber cloth and steady hands. Watch the video above to see the results for yourself.
