Guys - I got the basic apple watch 45mm for my 1st watch and wondering if I should get a screen protector + case or only former. Would you recommend Armorsuit?

Thanks
 
I would recommend a screen protector. I got mine from Amazon. I didn’t have a screen protector for my series 4 and had a huge scratch on the front of it. I now take off my series 7 when working in the car lol
I won’t use a case but def recommend a screen protector

I also use a screen protector… (I got a huge scratch from the brief time last summer when I didn’t…)

I don’t know if the exact brand really makes a big difference because at some time the edges start to peel of anyways and after some time you have to change them anyways… I usually use 2-3 a year…
I would recommend one that wraps around the edges…
(I use one that come s with a liquid to apply… that makes it easier because…)

I recommend this screen protector from Gadgetshieldz which I'm using for 2 months now and it gives good protection. Also, it has this self-healing feature that heals most of the scratches that occur on it, I was amazed that it actually works! Cases make the watch heavier so I prefer this film protector.
 
I used an Armor Suit on my Series 4 and got it for my Series 7... I do feel that the first one I put on my Series 7 so far doesn't fit as great as my previous shield... the edgers are white and peeling up after only a month.
 


I use these. At least I think it's the same ones.

I find they last anywhere from 3 days to 3 months.

My SE is 11 months old and the screen is flawless so far, although I've probably been through a good quantity of these protectors.

From this month on I'll just forego them altogether and see how the screen fares in the run up to the SE2 or S8.

I’ve been using these on the last 3 watches and they are awesome!

search Amazon for this:
