I just bought a Timex IYKYK Episode 5 (Root Beer) and I was a bit disappointed when it came in and the part that protects the dial (forgive me I don’t know what that specific part of the watch is called) is plastic. They call it “domed acrylic crystal” on the Timex website but on my other watches it’s sapphire. I’m worried about the durability of the current material. Should I be worried that this material will scratch? If so, can I take it to a repair shop for a replacement with something more scratch resistant?

I love the watch and it would be worth a couple hundred bucks to me if a replacement will extend it’s life.

TIA!

    “Domed Acrylic Crystal” is the highest form of marketing bullshit I"ve ever come come across.

    The guy who came up with that must have climbed a mountain of shit to get that tidbit of inspiration.
