Worked a charm on my Casio 3240 - Just a note though: watch out for toothpastes with "microbeads", the beads scratched my watch further. Fortunately normal toothpaste with moderate force for a about 2-3 minutes removed most of the scratches.
This happened with me also. I bought a fitness band as a Christmas gift but it got scratched in just one day but the trick is working and it is very useful and don't ever try to put a tape on the screen or else, when the tape comes out, your screen will be full of marks. Thank you!
this works! i scratched my watched on the street. the scratch was pretty wide and dramatic so i polished for like 30 minutes but it did work, i was going to wait till i got to my town to take it to the jeweler but i couldn't wait a second longer looking at the scratch every time. so glad i gave this a go, thanks!
Well, i tried this method on 3 different watches with 3 different scratches kind, one has only surface scratches and the other has very tiny scratches and the third has deep scratches and i did the method really carefully and it did not removed anything at all! And it looks like that people thinks it works because they might be not able to spot scratches. I did it in the sun light.
It really depends on the quality of the watch crystal. This works on cheaper watches like Casio where the crystal is a softer material. More durable watch crystals won’t see any effects from this
Totally works! Timex Expedition was really scratched up and I put a little Crest on it and rubbed it with a dry microfiber cloth. Literally looks like a new watch! I was about to buy a new watch, now I’m good to go!
I've seen videos like this before. Never thought it actually worked. But today I tried it with my watch and after doing it 3 times i was able to make a lightly scratched area look much better. Doesn't work with deeper grooves at level 7 though
That only works with acrylic crystal. Mineral glass such as Hardlex and sapphire crystal requires more serious grit such as cerium oxide paste. Those so called scratchless blue Scotch Brite pads are 1000 grit so they might work though the white Scotch Brite pads at 1200 grit would be better. Those green Scotch Brite pads are 600 grit and the brown ones are 240 grit, both of which are better for a brushed or matte stainless steel finish on your bracelet and clasp if you have stainless steel bracelet and clasp.
Thanks so much I work outside a lot with heavy equipment and I use my watch to keep track of time but 50 percent of the time I can’t tell the time because of all the little scratches and this got rid of 90 percent of them
I had 2 watches i thought i would have to throw away because the faces had lots of white scratches that made it hard to read the time clearly. Just tried this toothpaste trick and the faces are clear again! I had to do one a few times but i'm super happy with the results...i feel like I have 2 new watches! So glad i didnt toss them.
OMG it actually worked i got a brand new watch before my birthday and it got scratched by the wall and i'm so happy it worked thank you soooo much!!!:) Now my watch smells good too!!
OK non-believers, here is a true story. This very afternoon not 4 hours ago, my wife presented me with a beautiful new diver's watch. While helping carry shelving into my son's room, I caught a corner and put a very noticeable scratch on the face. I won't go into details on how upset I was. With a little blob of Colgate, and a plain white T-shirt, and 30 seconds of circular buffing... as God is my witness, the scratch is *COMPLETELY GONE*. If I didn't say anything you would never know there was a scratch at all. It works!!!!! TRY IT!!!!
well it's worth a try, I don't know how but I've got a small scratch but seems to be deep, I'll try and hope for a miracle ...I'm so upset as I watch this watch VERY much, I remove it when it's about to do any physical work, remove it when going to take a shower, remove it in the night just in case etc. We'll see soon enough!
crackerworld did it work for you? you can also use this on very minor surface scratches for sunglasses. But deep gouges, you might just want to hit the mall for some new ones.
*This actually works really well*...if you have patience. I have a Casio AE-1000W that I have worn everyday since August 2014 (bought it after my other Casio was stolen). It was so scuffed up that the watch face was hazy. 5 minutes of tough polishing rewards me with a like-new shine. Obviously the deep and *really deep* scratches were still there, but there is a true shine on the Acrylic Crystal face now. Dunno why I haven't done this before. *9/10 Works Well.*
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH my dad bought me a new beauty watch but i wasnt watching what i was doing and it was scratched soo bad this help me a lot god bless you
I had what I would call a "smudge" over hours 1 & 2. A vintage military Bulova. So I thought, "Why not?" Rubbed toothpaste with my finger for 30 seconds, cleaned with facial tissue for 30 seconds. It looks brand new!
Well it works I mean not entirely it's not magic but it made the scratch WAY LESS VISIBLE and for just 2minutes of rubbing some toothpaste, hell yeah!I don't get why this has so many dislikes, what do people expect it's just rubbing some toothpaste on glass .
I can't believe it but it actually worked!!! It took more than one try, and about half a tube of travel sized toothpaste but it actually worked : D Thank you so much!!!! P.S. If you don't have a glasses cloth, you can use a rolled-up tissue.
Guys stop arguing about it works or not it does work but only for GLASS watches (often cheap replicas or even just cheap watches) for mineral glass (crystals) you'll have to wet sand the fucker, and put a real polish on it and rub it. If you use toothpaste, don't take the ones with tiny marbles or i dunno how you call them. A cheap and simple toothpaste will do the work just fine. And remember it'll only remove little scratches you can only see looking at sideways pointing at a light source, not deep scratches.
OMG o think that the toothpaste thing was fake but IT WORKED SO WELL on my casio OMG THANKS MAN I'M SO HAPPY 45 MIN AND SCRATCHES GONE, I'm sharing your video right now
Glad I stumbled on your video, I was actually trying to find something for a different watch but this worked great on a protrek that had a scratch big enough to annoy me every time I noticed it. Thanks
Tried this several times and it didn't work. I'm using a regular wash cloth, do I need any special kind of cloth? Also, does the type of toothpaste matter?
Okay everyone... I have a theory. Normally I don't bother commenting on videos, but I'm curious to know this; For everyone who had success, what brand of toothpaste did you use? I suspect the mixed results may have something to do with the brand of toothpaste being used. Please comment below.
the tooth paste sands down the surface and polishes it at the same time, although this does work you could get a lot better results using actual sand paper in a crosshatching sanding pattern along with actual polish. Idk why but this just seems pointless to me, if you actually give a shit about your watch, why not do it the right way for a few extra dollars.
Should I look for this kind of toothpaste in particular, or just a type of toothpaste? What type is this? I don't read chinese hieroglyphs. Or any toothpaste will do?
+Ty-Ty I see that it's colgate. There are several types of Colgate and other brands though. My question was whether I need to use this brand/product or any/all others will do? "Hieroglyps" was a snide remark, but it's actually quite true: en.wiktionary.org/wiki/hieroglyph en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ideogram I know they're more accurately called logograms, but they're ARE Chinese.

Its for small scratches guys it isn't going to take out a 1/16 crater that you dug into it with a needle to see if this would work

worked, even 4 years later
