And some people are still wondering why people like me are buying screen protectors or cases
That's so sad. Buying a screen protector for a watch only points to one thing bad watch design. Oh and silly consumers who buy crap design.
Got a tip for us?

check your credit card. my credit card has 90 days of accidental damage and 1 year extra warranty.
Also, if you don't have those services with your cc, I would attempt to return the watch and just tell apple you are not satisfied with its function and quality. You do have 14 day return policy and although its scratched up, that's the only issue. I think apple will accept it back.

You already pay for Apple's huge margins, why is another fraction of a fraction of a cent bothering you?
This is precisely the excuse I used when I pirated Commodore 64 games. I at least had the excuse of just being a dumb kid.

Calling it a "stupid mistake" seems unfair. More like "something bound to happen." I get the rationale for buying a cheaper first gen product, and I get that some people prefer the look of the sport. But a lot of these watches are going to look like crap way too soon.
Sorry, but...what?
Go take another glass-faced watch and drag it along a concrete wall.
I wouldn't buy a screen protector to wear on a watch, either, which is why I bought SS AW.
It's not hard, as long as it's legit. I bought mine off of craigslist, but got a copy of the original receipt, checked the serial number to make sure it was correct and had the name of the previous owner. That night I called Apple support to change the registration to my name and provided them with the name of the original owner. Today I called Apple support to add AppleCare+. They ran a remote diagnostic, charged my card and that was it.
BTW, You call 1800-APL-Care and not 1800-My-Apple.

There's a word for that. It's called fraud.
However, the scratches appear deep enough to affect the functionality (namely readability) of the screen so it's reasonable to expect AC+ to cover it.
There are so many things wrong with this post that I don't even know where to start...
I would have paid the extra $$$ for the black steel but the freakin' unbelievable $499 for the black link band was out of the question. The watch that was the best option for anyone who works with their hands had a band that cost as much as the watch. Just unforgivable.
The part of the entire launch that pisses me off the most is the artificial marriages between case and band. Pick a case, pick a band. We're all smart enough to put it together ourselves.
I'm not disagreeing with you, but I think the difference is most of the watches such as those you mention have screens that are recessed even if so slightly below the dial.
Therefore, it's far more likely you'd hit the metal or whatever meterial the dial is made of rather than the glass.
With the apple watch the glass sticks up so high it's impossible to not hit it first In most scenarios.
What on earth do some people do their devices? I've had mine since the 24th and it has zero scratches. I've not even tried to be anymore careful than I would be normally with something that expensive.
Not rude. He was the one who said he didn't know where to start. If that's not an admission of brains or lack of I don't know what is.
