Glad to hear Apple replaced it quickly, as far a a screen protector for the watch goes I think your just wasting money. The screens on both the aluminum and SS watches are very durable and scratch resistant....
That is a SS so it will be a complete waste of money since only a couple of materials (like diamond) can scratch sapphire. There is NO screen protector that can offer ANY more scratch resistance than sapphire.

My wife and I each have an original watch hers is an AW Sport and mine is an AW SS, we have had since launch have worn them daily and neither has any scratches on the screens.

But YMMV and you may feel more comfortable with one, either way good luck with it and enjoy

I know it's probably overkill but once my eyes became fixated on the bubbles under the screen I did see a few light scratches. I work in a busy environment and don't have time trying to baby it. Better safe than sorry right.
 
Do you put protectors on your other watches?

Well besides the AW2 that I bought the only other watch that I spent $400 on was the Samsung Gear S2 classic. And I really wish I did that thing is all scratched up. Lol.

Let us know if you like the protector. I've read good and bad about if they're needed and how well they fit. I have Apple care but hope to never use it.

So just to update. You guys were right about the screen protector. It never really stayed perfectly down on the edges and yesterday started peeling up on one corner. But I'm still a little scared to take it off and go without protection.

You're afraid your screen might look less than 100% perfect but intentionally keeping it less than 100% perfect. At least enjoy it while it's 100% perfect.

I only use a case on my iPad. Nothing on my watch or phone. No scratches on either.

Heck, I should follow my own advice and lose the case on the iPad.
