So I recently got a Garmin Vivoactive 3, and I realised that the metal around the edge of the watch has been scratched and it really annoys me because I spent good money on it. How can I fix this? I have no idea what I'm doing, so any and all help is appreciated.

Have a search here for buffing or polishing. Many topics on the subject do exist already. 

Hey, sorry, I’m new to this stuff and I was kinda upset that it’s already scratched and I didn’t know. Could you please link me a post or something?

Hi  The only way to get rid of the scratches is to buff/polish the case, If you are going to do it your self it will require some tools  ie buffing machine and, types of buffing soap in different grades.  Or as an alternative take it to a watchmaker/jeweler to have it done.                            https://www.great-british-watch.co.uk/how-to-polish-a-watch-case-and-bracelet/

The above link should give you all the  information  you require. 

We do appreciate an indroduction from new members  when asking for help.

      L&R Varimatic Needs Adjustment

      By clockboy · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, enjoy. I have a varimatic that went  out of sequence because it’s hydronic oil ran very low. Must admit it’s still in my garage just know time to fix it. Purchased a cheap Indian Junta/ sonic Pearl as a stop gap a few years ago and it still performs perfectly so no incentive to fix the Varimatic.

      Is this a 'hack' ?

      By dnhb · Posted

      The plate is OK, thanks. It seems the answer to my question is that this is a 'hack' & for me another reminder that in general, one won't be the first person to be tinkering with an old timepiece!. As you day, I've been fortunate to have gotten some good advice and, just as important, encouragement. I've been lucky then not to have the balance spring break as a result of my novice 'ministrations' - but I did remember to 'stroke' rather than bend per se. The clock is of sentimental value to the owner so I'm relieved to have now got it running to time with the support & encourage of forum members like yourself.

      L&R Varimatic Needs Adjustment

      By storminwestie · Posted

      Recently purchased a L&R Varimatic knowing that the piston does not fully rise in the cylinder. The likely cause is air in the system. The manual calls for using a bleeder cup, which is as rare as hen's teeth.Does anyone have any experience with this issue and if so, how did they resolve it?
