After a weekend of travel I decided to take my trash out. FML.
Why does this require a thread? Maybe you could describe why you wanted to go with a stainless steel watch...perhaps that would help people who may have been in a similar situation weigh the pros and cons of both. Instead you seem to just be upset that you have to wait for another watch while a ton of people on this forum, including me, are still waiting for their stainless steel watches.

This thread isn't just dull...it's pointless! 
*Ba-dum, psch*
Just kidding, good luck with your new watch and all that.

No one needs a case for a watch. Its a watch.
A watch.
No one needs a sapphire crystal 'protector'.
Its a watch.
I like my car and everything, but I'm not going to put it in an otterbox. Reminds me of someone who buys a Porsche and wraps it in a hummer to take it out for a spin.
But since no one does that...

that makes no sense, and not even close... you aren't planning on getting the applecare+ for the SS version? it's more expensive than the AL version. Glad you made some money though.
Imagine someone wearing a Rolex with a case on it, laughable
Cases shouldn't even exist for this, but all these case makers just taking advantage of these first time watch buyers

The watch was nice but the lack of an OEM color matched adapter for different bands was also a factor.
Good point. Case manufacturers will sell cases to anyone with an electronic device that leaves your house.
Anyone have a case on their Mac mini? You have a case for your iMac?? How about for your Apple TV? No? Ok, so why is that? Because its stupid and no one else does it? Probably, if you were to really stop and think about it. Then why put a case on a watch? It is simply not socially acceptable to put a case on a watch. I've personally handled (and owned) many TRULY expensive watches and I've never even SEEN a case. The whole idea of taking something absurdly beautiful and wrapping it in something bulky and stupid looking is patently ridiculous.
The watch is a beautiful piece of functional jewelry. I know everyone wants to think of it as an iPhone for your wrist, but if you really think that then you're doing it wrong. Phones and watches are tools. The iPhone is beautiful and I enjoy looking at it and I like to appreciate its design and the precision of the engineering involved. Which is why it has no case. Watches are the same way, especially fine mechanical watches. Many watches have transparent case backs to view the mechanism. Would you put a stupid case on that? If so, you're entirely missing the point. Life happens. Dings happen. Scratches will happen. Especially with a polished stainless steel case, like the apple watch. You just have to get over it and remember what the thing is - a functional piece of jewelry.
But, then again, maybe you're the type of guy who uses a pocket protector and a case on your wedding ring...

Good luck getting your credit card company to replace your entire watch for a scratch.
I wouldn't have it replaced because of a scratch but it doubles Apples 1 year warranty. That means if the battery fails or there is a hardware malfunction it will be replaced.
No, it's not. I never had a case for my iPhones 3GS, 4s, 5 and now the 6.
And yes every single one had a scratch or a ding eventually and I still sold them for a decent price when I was getting a follow up.
I appreciate the Apple design and I will sure as hell never put any device in a fugly case. I want to feel and see the nice haptic. Watches, phones, tablets are just devices for me that I use every day. That's it.
