Google is now selling screen protectors for the Pixel Watch 3 that are “like glass.”

If you’re looking for a screen protector for the Pixel Watch 3, Google now offers an option in its official store.

The design of the Pixel Watch is absolutely great, but it’s not immune to damage. Because Google continues to use glass instead of the sapphire used in other watches, the watch’s curved surface is not easy to protect. A typical glass screen protector cannot easily adhere to the display. That’s why the first “official” Pixel Watch 3 screen protector that Google started selling was effectively a case from Zagg.

Now Google has opened sales of another Zagg screen protector for the Pixel Watch 3, the “InvisibleShield Fusion,” which is made from materials that it claims “feel and look the same as glass.”

Fusion is designed to ensure everyday shocks don’t impact your everyday life. It is made from a flexible polymer hybrid that ensures military-grade materials feel and look the same as glass.

Of course, this screen protector is not made of glass (although the pictures in the listing really make it look that way). It is a screen protector made of plastic – specifically “polyethylene terephthalate” – that can adapt to the shape of the watch design.

At $29.99, it’s an expensive option, but one that’s good to have in the Google Store to use with store credit (e.g. One’s “Cashback”).

But there are plenty of other options, especially since the screen protectors for the 41mm Pixel Watch 3 are the same ones used on previous models. One of my favorite screen protectors for the Pixel Watch is one that uses adhesive and a UV curing process to attach a piece of real glass to the watch and even hides scratches well. At just under $20, it’s also cheaper than this plastic model.

Unfortunately there’s no 45mm option yet, and these are certainly still limited on the third-party market, so it’s nice that Google has an option in its store.
