A tempered glass screen protector can potentially cause several issues with the Redmi Watch 5 Active, similar to other devices. Here are some of the common problems that might arise:
1. Touch Sensitivity Issues: Poor-quality screen protectors can affect the touch sensitivity of the screen. This might lead to unresponsive or erratic touch inputs, which can be frustrating when trying to navigate through the watch's interface[2].
2. Ghost Touches: Sometimes, screen protectors can cause "ghost touches," where the screen registers touches that weren't actually made. This can lead to unintended actions on the watch, such as changing watch faces or opening apps unexpectedly[2][5].
3. Screen Protector Quality: Using a low-quality screen protector can exacerbate these issues. It's crucial to choose a high-quality protector that is designed specifically for the Redmi Watch 5 Active to minimize potential problems[2].
4. Dirt and Moisture Accumulation: If dirt or moisture accumulates under the screen protector, it can further impair touch functionality. Regular cleaning and ensuring the protector is properly applied can help mitigate these issues[2].
5. Visual Interference: In some cases, a screen protector might cause minor visual distortions or bubbles, which could affect the overall viewing experience on the watch.
To avoid these issues, it's advisable to use a high-quality screen protector and ensure it is properly applied without any air bubbles or debris underneath. If problems persist, removing the screen protector and cleaning the screen might resolve the issue[2].
