There’s nothing, not one single mark on the other side of the aluminum watch. There is a light line on the surface coating of the other side of the watch. By contrast, I was rough as heck on the sport watch, swimming and doing yard work with it on. I treated my gold watch gently, thinking to keep it for 4 years. The back of the gold watch is sapphire and ceramic. Not even to its Ion X crystal).įYI, The back of the sport watch is ceramic and ion X.

I will go ahead and post the picture of my Series 4 Gold next to my Series 2 Space Grey sport watch (which despite much more rugged use and use in swimming pools has NO damage of any kind visible. The first tiny signs of discoloration appeared around 8 months into ownership. I’ve had this watch for almost 2 years now. I’ve been asked if it’s due to hand sanitizer but the answer is that the damage predates any use of hand sanitizer. It actually doesn’t appear to have any scratches, but the finish looks dreadful anyway. I’ve mentioned that my gold finish has experienced some sort of tarnishing. I thought it might help some people get a sense of why I’d do that if I post a picture that tells the story. I’ve mentioned in several conversations in different threads that I am going from a series 4 gold Apple Watch to a Nike Space Grey Watch this time. Just don’t touch the oleophobic coating on the crystal to be on the safe side. The description say to use the cloth only with their silver jewelry but I used it with no harm to the gold finish. ***EDIT, Update: I was successfully able to remove most of the marks with a treated jewelry cloth from Tiffany’s online store.
