Never thought it'd be me posting this about a damaged screen, I'm usually reading stuff like this from others.
I've never scuffed an iPhone since iPhone 4 so was surprised my Apple Watch scuffed so quickly (15 days).
Anyway, here's the pic:

So what happened?
That's the part I'm surprised about. It wasn't anything out of the ordinary. I do recall bumping it here and there (not on concrete but on stuff like a wooden headboard or door etc) but after those bumps I've checked each time and the watch held up fine.
So I noticed the first chipping, the one on the right, yesterday. No bump on anything yesterday, just noticed it. I remember discussing it at home and agreeing I'll live with it.
So I was shocked to see today the second chipping, the one on the left (middle of the watch, left side). Again, for no apparent reason today. I don't recall smashing it anywhere and the main thing is, I've never dropped it, it's been on my wrist almost all the time. I can say I've been as careful as you probably can with your wrists without hiding your hands all the time.
For something on the wrist seeing day to day life, I would've expected stronger durability (I had a £25 watch for over a year with no such scuff). Or at least, to see stuff like this MONTHS from now by which I could just get generation 2. But within two weeks, I can only dread what it'll look like in a year's time if it makes it at all.
Options:
1. Sell it on eBay and buy the stainless steel sapphire version, but some say that also chips?
2. Repair it via Apple, though no idea how much it'll cost or if it's worth it.
Either way, the Apple Watch experience has suddenly gone from high to low.
Anyone else chipped their's? What did you guys do to resolve it? Anyone decided to live with a scuffed watch?
