I just bought a Timex IYKYK Episode 5 (Root Beer) and I was a bit disappointed when it came in and the part that protects the dial (forgive me I don’t know what that specific part of the watch is called) is plastic. They call it “domed acrylic crystal” on the Timex website but on my other watches it’s sapphire. I’m worried about the durability of the current material. Should I be worried that this material will scratch? If so, can I take it to a repair shop for a replacement with something more scratch resistant?

I love the watch and it would be worth a couple hundred bucks to me if a replacement will extend it’s life.

TIA!
