Is anyone using a screen protector on a Apple Watch SS?
Maybe I am a little bit sensitive on this topic because my Series 2 got very bad scratches by a slide on a wall. The sapphire screen was the reason (besides the nice gold finish) for me to justify the additional costs.
But will this be enough? Imagining a scratched screen like this on such a costly device gets me nervous...

If anyone is using a good screen protector which match the look of a SS or don't let the watch look too worse, can you share a link?

After the accident I used Skinomi which was barley visible but got dirty easier than the original screen and was not 100% the screen size and though easier to distinguish.
The gloss version of Appskins might be an alternative for a 100% cover but I can't find any reviews.
 
I’ve owned two SS models in the past both the S0 and S3. I put them through some hell. Including sliding against a wall and a direct hit to the glass with a metal door frame. The sapphire crystal never chipped, scratched, or shattered. To this day both look brand new. I had the SSSB version if that helps.

There is no need for a screen protector on the SS model. It’s a tank. Understand the silver version will show hairline scratches around the silver case, this is natural though and not specific to Apple. The SB version is diamond coated and will not do this.
 
I purchased a full body protector for my blk ss from armor suit they also do sell just screen protectors, regardless of its really needed or not just for the piece of mind.
