....gutted!
Only had it about a month and i dropped it yesterday from a small height onto a hard bedroom floor. Landed face down and put a 7mm scratch on the watch face. Its not too bad but i can pretty much see it every time i look at it which is annoying.

Anyone know of ways to repair a scratch without spending £40 and sending it to Casio to repair? My other option is to live with it until there are more scratches (which is inevitable really) and then get them all done in one go. Basically i need to man up i think, but it hurts at the moment!

Scratched my GW3000 a while back, got over it now hehe but the most frustrating thing is that I had, and still don't have, any idea as to how I did it!

Mineral glasses can be had from as little as £5 tho might be worth fitting a flat sapphire at £25+.

Hell even sapphires scratch even if it's just an annoying microscratch.

I have no idea what type of glass it is, i will go with the above poster's answer!
I think its one of those things with watches, same with when you get a ding on your car. You just grow to accept it as part of it, gives it character.

Casio said £40 to fit new glass and it would take around 10 days, which i thought was quite good. But they recommended waiting until it has more scratches before doing it. They also said its almost inevitable you will scratch it at some point, one of those things.

I'm a bit of a specialist at walking too close to brick walls/doorframes and skimming the watch as I pass.

One of those things...

Mineral glass does scratch quite easily even hardened mineral glass a hardened knife blade will scratch mineral glass, it's hardness around 5.5mohs Sapphire being 9mohs and SiC around 9.5mohs.
