This stuff WORKS
I don't write many Amazon reviews, but I felt compelled to write this one because I think this product is UNDER rated. I used this to polish the mineral crystal on an old Citizen Eco-Drive. The results speak for themselves. This product really does work, but one has to understand the effort required, and the limitations.I believe this is basically diamond lapping paste. Understand that mineral glass is an EXTREMELY hard substance. Therefore, it takes many iterations, alot of muscle, and therefore alot of time to produce a result. That being said, VERY deep scratches will never really come out, but rather become valleys with rounded corners. There are some marks on the finished watch that are still deep enough to cast a slight shadow on the dial face in very bright light, but the improvement is easily 95%-99%, certainly worth the cost and time invested.I also think the product documentation did try to accurately describe the effort required, as well as product limitations.This isn't the type of product you just smear on, rub with a cloth and magically get a result. I actually taped the watch down to my granite counter with tape, stood up, and put some of my weight on the polishing stick while rubbing. It requires pressure to the point where you actually become a little weary of cracking the glass...but that is what it takes to polish such a hard material. I also doubt this would work on sapphire crystals, which are even harder than mineral glass.Overall, this product saved the watch from the bin. No replacement crystals are available, and the person I did this for didn't even want to bother with the cost of replacing the strap, battery, etc. if the crystal couldn't be clarified. This was a huge win!

Somewhat worked on my mobile device, but not so well on my Citizen Watch.
It was an easy product to use, and somewhat worked on my Moto G phone. It REDUCED the scratch, I think that is important to note. It does not remove scratches. After waiting a couple days and reinspecting the scratch was right back as it was. I tried on my Citizen Eco Watch, which has Sapphire Crystal glass, and a very minor scratch, and it really didn't help in any way on it. Unfortunately this product is advertised as a glass polish for watches and more, which is why I'm rating it like this...and $17 is too much for something that may not work on what it's advertised for.

Have the right expectations
I dropped my iPhone XS Max and it resulted in a small nick on the screen, right in the middle, that i could feel with my fingernail. It was small but enough to notice when using - I could feel it with my finger and see it on a white background. I didn’t have much hope for this to do anything about it but I figured it was worth a shot.I started with trying to get some scratches out of an Apple Watch series 4 to get familiar with usage. It did absolutely nothing on that screen but it also didn’t do any harm. So I moved to the phone to see what would happen.I started with a small scratch near the edge and surprisingly, that scratch was no longer visible after one application. Encouraged, I tried for the larger nick. And to some amazement, it started to work. After one pass, I was no longer able to feel that nick with my fingernail. Still visible though. Second pass and it really made it hard to notice.Granted, the nick is still there and if I looked really hard, I can still find it. But day to day use I no longer notice it. To me that was a win.So it’s not a perfect product for phone screens but it can work. I think it really depends on the type of scratch. So in short, good success on my iPhone. No difference at all on my watch.

Works, but definitely not cost effective.
I recently purchased this to fix my scratches on my Pixel Watch, and while it did work, I needed to purchase a separate rotary tool and purchase a 2nd pack as the first pack didn't have enough repair and finish paste to fix the scratches.I tried it manually at first with my 1st pack and it did get rid of the minor scratches, but none of the medium/deep scratches (I spent about an hour or two trying to get rid of scratches manually with the included set). Gave up after the manual labor and got the rotary tool, as well as a 2nd pack. I made sure to save enough paste throughout the repair and managed to get rid of my medium/deep scratches.Overall, while it does work, would only recommend this if other solutions aren't working, you have a rotary tool to buff/polish and you really want to get rid of the scratches since this product is definitely not cost effective.

It Works Well with Some Sand and Dremel Help
I used this on a moderately scratched Seiko Automatic with a Hardlex mineral crystal and it worked well with a little help!I started first with wet sanding, using 1000 grit sandpaper followed by 2000, then 3000. This left the crystal mostly free of scratches but 2 or 3 deep scratches remained and it was a little hazy in the sunlight. So I ordered the Polywatch glass kit.I found the kit to be really great. It includes most of what you need beside the elbow grease and ultimately a Dremel.I followed the instructions to the T applying correct pressure at the correct angle for several rounds, using about 2/3 of the primary cream rinsing with soap and water in between rounds. You have to have a LOT of patience. Ultimately I grabbed my Dremel, attached a polishing pad, put a couple drops of cream on the scratches and polished at a mid-low speed. I used a circular motion applying light pressure. I then used a mini buffing wheel to clear.After two rounds of polish/buff/wash the crystal was sparkling clean and very smooth. I inspected it with a loop in bright sunlight and the results were like new. Overall I’m very satisfied but wish Polywatch would just recommend a Dremel. It would’ve made the job so much easier.I would definitely buy the kit again. But I know better now that a little extra help is need. I should note that Hardlex goes beyond regular glass in hardness and difficulty in polishing this would have been much more effective with regular glass or crystal.
