Curved glass and scratches

[red41]

I'm on my 3rd Apple watch and all three have had issues with deep scratches. I'm not out working construction or working with my hands a lot but my current series 5 has scratches all over the face. I know some came from catching it on a door and once I was working out on my driveway and it touched concrete. I know there are screen protectors and other items out there that would help with these kinds of issues but I feel like a watch shouldn't need that kind of thing.

I think it boils down to having curved glass that makes it easier for it to come in contact with surfaces and get scratched. I'm honestly tired of spending $500+ on a watch that looks like crap after a year of wearing it.

I find it hard to believe ANY watch would survive being "touched" by concrete without getting scratched. Maybe a G-shock is a better watch for your expectations?

To be perfectly honest: Maybe you‘d be better off wearing no watch at all?

Sure, it‘s entirely possible to bang on something occasionally, but I wear a watch since I was 14 or 15 years old (that‘s for quite long now😜) and never managed to scratch any of them really badly….

You should think about watches with sapphire crystal I guess.

Maybe opt for a stainless steel version with sapphire crystal display?
