What Is DLC Coating on Garmin Watches and Bands?

The watch material term DLC stands for Diamond Like Carbon coating. Our DLC coating is designed to be more resistant to scratches and scuffs while maintaining the aesthetic appeal. Over time, you may notice slight changes in coloration, akin to the patina that develops on leather.
