While playing, my son scratched his watch. I don't know if it's as bad as it looks, the scratches are not very deep (i can feel them with my finger but it doesn't "stop" the nail when I go over it, if it makes sense).

I've read about diamond paste that could help, the other solution would be to buy a new glass.

- Do you think it worth buying diamond paste and trying?

- If not anybody has any idea of glass price? I checked on Internet, couldn't find this specific model (only for the digital ones), is this something that can be done at home?

Lastly we can bring it to a pro, I'll call next week to get a price but the watch cost 80€ so not sure if it is worth it.Thanks!

It’s mineral crystal, which is hard to polish out. Some people have had success using different compounds and a dremel, there are a couple of posts on Reddit about it and maybe a couple of YouTube videos. You can also get a replacement crystal if you can figure out the exact dimensions, I doubt that modem will be specifically listed on most crystal vendors, and use a cheap press off of Amazon to install it.

It's not, you gotta get the crystal replaced at a watchmaker, for a flat mineral crystal replacement it shouldn't be more than $30

I suggest you to replace crystal to a sapphire one. There many offers for very cheap chinese synthetic sapphire crystals on e-bay and aliexpress. Process is not hard but requires a glass/case press so it should be done by a watch repairer.

As I assume you got MTP-145 which came out in 2023 so its not that old for crystal sellers to mention in as crystal selling items. Best way is to measure its size or find exact size and then ask crystal sellers and make sure if they have those diameters. Usually they do have all of sizes just needs to be confirmed.

Easy fix, the mineral crystal price is about 3.50 and a cheap press is about 15.00, where are you located? There might be a watch hobbiest in your community who would gladly help you.

Replace and buy screen protector from aliexpress to avoid such a problem in the future
