Elite Shield EZ Fit Apple Watch Series 10 (46mm) AFL08579 Screen Protector Review

Elite Shield EZ Fit Apple Watch Series 10 (46mm) AFL08579 Screen Protector Review
The Apple Watch Series 10 is a significant investment, and protecting its beautiful display is a top priority. Enter the Elite Shield EZ Fit screen protector (model AFL08579), a two-pack promising easy installation and reliable protection. I’ve spent the last two weeks testing this screen protector, putting it through the paces of daily wear and tear. This review details my experience.
The Elite Shield EZ Fit boasts several key features. The most prominent is the included EZ Fit tray, designed to ensure perfect alignment during installation. This is a significant improvement over traditional methods. The screen protector itself is a flexible EPU film, not glass, which claims to provide better shock absorption and prevent shattering. The package also includes a wet installation spray solution for optimal adhesion.
The manufacturer claims the touch responsiveness would remain unaffected. I tested this extensively, and I’m happy to report that this claim appears to hold true. I experienced no delays or ghost touches throughout my testing period.

Installation, thanks to the EZ Fit tray, was surprisingly straightforward. While the wet installation process felt initially unconventional, the provided instructions were clear, and the result was a bubble-free application. The spray solution’s scent was mild and dissipated quickly. After the initial 24 hours, as promised, the full transparency was achieved.
In terms of protection, the screen protector has performed admirably. I’ve accidentally bumped my watch against various surfaces, and the screen remained unscathed. The flexibility of the film has likely contributed to this. The touch sensitivity remained consistent throughout the test period.
One minor point to note is that there was a very slight initial reduction in screen brightness but this is minimal and not overly distracting.
Pros:
- Easy installation with EZ Fit tray
- Bubble-free application
- Excellent touch responsiveness
- Good protection against scratches and minor impacts
- Two screen protectors in the pack
Cons:
- Very slight initial reduction in screen brightness (minimal and temporary).
- Requires a wet installation process which may be off-putting to some.
Overall, the Elite Shield EZ Fit (AFL08579) is a solid screen protector for the Apple Watch Series 10 (46mm). The ease of installation, combined with the reliable protection and maintained touch responsiveness, make it a worthy investment. While the wet installation might feel unusual at first, the benefits outweigh this small drawback. I would confidently recommend this product to anyone looking to safeguard their Apple Watch display.
