For you guys long time apple watch users that are clumsy and hit your arms everywhere, those protector bumpers cases are a good idea? how the aluminum hold up with hits on the wall, doors etc?

I have had aluminum 2; 3, 4, 5 n now 7 The only one that ever got a tiny scratch on the glass was series 3. I used a bumper case on series 2 for a little bit due to the “ it easily scratches buy SS” warning. Took the bumper off because it would trap dirt. Have not used a bumper since. Have banged it on walls plenty of times n have never had a scratch on the body. I do use a screen protector on the glass for the 1st year. My daughter gets it the 2nd year n Uses it without a screen protector. No scratches after the 2nd year when it is traded in.

I use a ‘liquid gel’ screen protector that I found in Best Buy and a carbon fibre finish case from Amazon on the watch. I wear the watch all the time and it gets a lot of dings so I prefer a rugged setup.

After trying a few (ESR, New'C), my last is my favorite : Flolab Nano Armour. Picked it based on this review :

Easiest to install and seems like a great product. TOok the anti-glare one, which gives it a kind of mate look. Helpful, but I guess using the non anti-glare would have been pretty much okay.

By the way, they did a review for cases. I tend to find their reviez honest. For example they did one on Qi chargers, and I happened to have tried a few too... and they were not upselling any of the products.

About cases, on my side I stopped using any a few years back... AC+ is my kind of case :)
