Women's watches by glass type – sapphire, crystal, acrylic
The watch glass is the part that takes the most punishment in a bag, next to your keys. Here you can choose a women's watch by glass type: sapphire, crystal and acrylic models in a wide choice, from fashion watches to Swiss brands. As an official dealer, we ship them with the factory warranty and home delivery, and our own watch service handles glass replacement.
Sapphire or crystal glass on a women's watch?
Women's watches with sapphire glass get synthetic sapphire crystal, which only a diamond can scratch, so rings, bracelets and the zip of your bag leave no marks on it. Women's watches with crystal glass are made with hardened mineral glass: they are more affordable and good for everyday use, but a hard object can scratch them. Most Bering Classic, Citizen Elegance Lady and Longines women's models have sapphire glass.
Who is an acrylic glass women's watch for?
Women's watches with acrylic glass are light, do not shatter on impact, and surface scratches can be polished out. They suit children, athletes, or anyone looking for a retro watch with a slightly domed glass.
How do you look after the glass of a women's watch?
- Do not put it in your bag glass-down among keys and cosmetics.
- When washing hands or cooking, it can knock against your rings – sapphire is the more relaxed choice then.
- If the glass cracks, do not wear it, because moisture can get in – our own watch service will replace it.
In product photos, sapphire glass often shows a bluish-purple reflection because of the anti-reflective coating, while crystal looks more neutral – if you are unsure, the glass line in the product specification is the reliable guide.
Watch glass on women's watches – in brief
Is a women's watch with sapphire glass worth buying?
If you wear it every day and together with jewellery, yes, because sapphire is almost impossible to scratch. On an occasional watch worn less often, crystal glass is enough.
How do I know if my watch has sapphire glass?
It is stated in the product specification, and if you have a question, we will check for you. A drop of water beads up on sapphire glass, but the manufacturer's data gives the definitive answer.
Can a scratched watch glass be polished?
Acrylic glass can be polished out, but crystal and sapphire cannot; for those the glass has to be replaced. Our service checks whether a glass replacement is possible, model by model.
