Still loving the SB SS - a thing of beauty and I increasingly appreciate the added weight. I feel like I'm wearing a watch again! Picked up the black Milanese loop tonight and the combo, as most you already know, is stunning.
Got a tip for us?

Loving my SS AW3 too after just owning it for 48 hrs. I notice the extra weight helps to keep my charging cable from sliding all over the place on my bedside table when connected to my AW. I really need a dedicated charging station. I'm contemplating putting an Armor Shield film on the screen just because I am so paranoid and have the worst luck.
I'm getting tempted to upgrade to AW3, but for me it's harder to justify it as I have a SS AW2 and it's in mini condition.
AT&T allowing me to purchase using Next makes it more tempting...

Had my SS S0 for 2.5 yrs The screen was perfect when I sold it to buy the SBSS S3. Your not going to scratch the screen.

I did the same. It is a stunner for sure. I also bought the charcoal leather loop.
I bought the SBSS S3 with the sport band. Then, I bought the Milanese loop separately when I decided the sport band did not do the watch justice. I am using the LTE 3 month trial on Verizon.
As someone who has lots of experience with the stainless steel Apple Watch models and sapphire display, the sapphire display is extremely and highly durable against scratches. It would be very difficult to scratch, which could happen, but the likeliness Would be rare On a occasion. For someone who has read many of the threads on the Apple Watch forum, I can only recall maybe two or three individuals ever saying that they scratched the Sapphire.
I personally don't think you would need the Armor shield, but of course that's your preference if you feel it's necessary.
I've owned the AW S0 and some Garmin watches with a sapphire screen and have never scratched any. It's up to you but to me the single biggest reason I paid for the SBSS model was to *not* have to use a screen protector. I like stainless steel but without question I would have gone aluminum and saved the money if I was going to use a screen protector anyway. Enjoy your watch!
