Live with it or have a new crystal fitted are two obvious options for you unless you are saying that it was there when you bought it in which case take it back!! Nice watch by the way!

Polywatch also makes a product for sapphire glass crystals. I have not used it but use their other version for plastic/hesalite regularly. It鈥檚 good stuff, and I鈥檇 bet the product for glass would be good as well.

I wouldn't worry about a puny ding like that. Just have the crystal replaced when the watch is serviced.

I wouldn鈥檛 touch it and risk scratching the AR coating. I say love with it if you can. At least you know at some point you can replace the Crystal if it鈥檚 a keeper.

If you have rinsed it with water and dried with a microfiber cloth and the mark is still there, then it is most likely a scratch on the anti-reflective coating and there is nothing you can do. Some have removed the AR coating, but this is not a trivial job, so I would recommend against it.

Its probably the anti reflective coating that is scratched or chipped. Could be from anything, your belt buckle, seat belt buckle, phone charging cord, desk, door door frames etc.

Don't be too obsessed about it, I know to you it looks like a massive crater on your crystal. But to the rest of us, had to zoom in to the image to see it.

Wear the watch in good health, you will soon forget about it. If it bothers you that much, take it to a watchmaker to get the coating removed.

Me personally, I would just leave it and enjoy wearing the watch even more.
