Styxx Watch Protection
Anyone seen their ad’s on IG or watch sites? Basically protective stickers, but I don’t hate the idea. What do you guys think?

Protective stickers are for those who don't dare to wear their watches like they are meant to be worn.

I have a nice clear piece of 3M auto protect tape on the clasp of my Hulk and DJ 41. Available on Amazon. Want to thank the guys who proudly posted pictures of their scratched up ones.

Motivated me to put it on.

Well been wearing Rolex watches for over 40 years and used and often abused them underwater as a diving instructor and guide. And never felt the need of any sort of protection on any watches I was wearing Rolex included.

Styxx should sue these guys.

No way Styxx would use any protection. There's 23 paternity suits still pending from the 70's...

I have wrap on my car too.

When my watch is going 75 down the interstate I'll consider adding them to my watch as well.

Good luck going 75 down the Fairfax county parkway or beltway or anywhere else in your area. Average top speed is 30mph in between lights or stop and go's.
