Why High-End Players Choose Watch Protection Films
High-end mechanical watches are not only timekeeping tools but also collectible and investment assets. The second-hand prices of popular models are highly sensitive to cosmetic integrity, while traditional polishing reduces case thickness and damages the original factory finishing, which may affect the long-term value of the watch.
Therefore, watch protection films that do not alter the original factory structure and provide high-precision fit protection have become a new choice for collectors.

Comparison of Protection Film Development Methods
1. FWC Development Model: Multi-Round Manual Measurement + Precision Digital Modeling
FWC adopts a development method combining multi-round manual measurement with digital modeling. Technicians measure key curved surfaces on real watches, including lug curvature, crown guards, chamfered edges, and bracelet connection structures, to obtain precise structural data.
The entire measurement process does not require spraying scanning powder or applying scanning auxiliary materials on the watch surface. While maintaining the original surface condition of the watch, it improves data stability and accuracy. After establishing the cutting model based on the measurement results, the protection film tolerance can be controlled at approximately 0.01mm, making the fitting effect more invisible and natural.
2. Other Brands’ Development Model: 3D Scanning Modeling
Some brands mainly obtain watch structural data through 3D scanning technology. During the scanning process, reflective powder is usually sprayed on the surface to enhance device recognition, and protection films are mass-produced through templated production methods. The accuracy of 3D scanning modeling is highly related to the spraying method, the quality of scanning agents, and the quality of scanning equipment. Under normal circumstances, measurement tolerance is relatively larger and can only meet general protection needs.
This model offers higher modeling efficiency and is suitable for large-scale model coverage. However, since the scanning process involves surface spraying, some collectors tend to prefer measurement methods that do not require additional surface treatment to reduce potential risks to the watch appearance.

Materials and Actual Protection Performance
FWC mainly uses high-grade TPU material, balancing flexibility and impact resistance:

|
Flexibility |
Covers curved surfaces and resists edge lifting |
|
Impact Resistance |
Absorbs daily friction and minor impact energy |
|
Self-Healing |
Scratches can recover through material rebound |
|
