I've worn my Sport every day since launch day and the screen is pretty bad with scratches. You can really notice them in the light. I've had every iPhone since the 3G and NEVER have gotten a scratch on any of my phone screens. I wish the screen was more durable on the Watch, but I get that with it being exposed on the wrist it is more open to scratches than the phone. I'm a pretty careful person and tried to "baby" it too but it didn't matter.
Got a tip for us?

I have the stainless steel model and there are no visible scratches on the screen. I have micro scratches on the stainless steel case that bothered me at first but really only noticeable if looking for them. I wear the watch daily but am careful with it.
Mine has certainly seen better days. It was a day one preorder that I got in June of last year and have worn it every day since minus July and August of this year when I was rocking my HTC 10 and Moto 360, but I'm back.
It's got a lot of scratches on the glass, only a few on the casing though. And one tiny chip missing from the glass on the top. Bumped into some concrete I think.
The bottom right has a SS crown, but the color of the case look like Space Gray.
Got the SS because I like look of the case more than Aluminum. I guess the sapphire crystal helped since no scratches on my screen.
