Any scratches on your Apple Watch?

Nope, had it since Friday morning and no marks... it's gonna happen though, to everyone.
Can't see it in your pic though.

Is the scratch on the bottom left? This has concerned me with the sport. But the watch is supposed to be weaker on impact.
I'm looking at it and it looks like more of a defect in the protector rather than a scratch. Looks like it is not completely flush to the screen.

Better pic of the scratch:
Several Apple employees have told me that AppleCare+ will not provide a replacement Watch for cosmetic damage. They will only replace a Watch if the functionality is affected. They said if the screen is horribly scratched so much that it is hard to read the screen then they would replace that, but not for minor scratches.
If you call Apple you can buy AppleCare+ after you already received your Watch. They have no way of knowing if it is already damaged.
Buying AppleCare+ after purchase requires you to bring your watch to the store for inspection. If it's still undamaged, you can buy the AC+ for your watch.
And yes, AC+ covers accidental/cosmetic damage for 2 instances, but you have to pay a minimum charge to get your watch replaced each time.
I called Apple yesterday and ordered it over the phone with my credit card number. He didn't even ask me about the condition of my Watch.
Again, AC+ does not cover cosmetic damage that does not otherwise affect the functionality of the Watch. Read the terms and conditions.
If you look through other threads you will see the same exact scratches on other Sport and non sport models. One guys thread was wondering in the Milenaase... however you spell it.. loop was causing it.
The rounded part just seems to be more prone to scratching. I can see scratching it there under my desk at work just rolling the chair forward.
Also.... many many... people with the Iphone 6 and no case have the same exact scratches on the curve on the glass. I can remember a thread on apple support that was like a 100 pages long.

You're paying for accidental protection. if you want a replacement stomp on your watch and bring it in.
Well it happened to me, I was skeptical at first that it would happen easily but was being careful with it on. Some how I managed to get a small scratch right on the middle of the screen. I just bought the armor suit screen protector, so hoping it'll help avoid more. Will take a picture of it later, 42MM SG sport.
This is one area where bezels are actually useful, as it would protect from most day to day scratches. The fact is though, this is a watch, and watches come into contact with walls, doors, desks, debris, etc. It's going to get scratched eventually.
That's called fraud, and people wonder why Apple jacked up the AC+ deductible for the iPhone to $79 from $49. We can thank people like you.

Don't be absurd. I'm paying for car insurance too. Doesn't mean I should go out and crash my car to collect on the insurance.

One of the reasons I went with a small watch is that I knew I would wreck it if it was too large on my wrist. So far, so good.
