Sorry if this has already been asked or should be obvious from the Apple store, but im struggling to work this out.

Which models of the S5 have the sapphire glass screen, is it all of them or just the Stainless Steel? I'm currently on a S2 and the reason I spent more for a stainless steel model is for the sapphire screen as I know the standard glass one would get scratched to pieces with my usage.

I like the idea of upgrading to an S5 but i'd like to save some money and just get the sport/aluminium model instead as I'm not so fussed about the aeethetics as I once was, but the less durable screen is a bit of deal breaker for me. Is there any clarity anywhere on which models of the S5 have which screen, I was sort of hoping that from S2 to S5 they have managed to include the sapphire screen in all models but that may be wishful thinking.

Every model but the aluminum ones has a sapphire screen.
 
I can’t find that confirmed anywhere on Apple’s site...?

It’s listed under the product tech specs.

I can't find any mention of sapphire glass for the Stainless Steel Series 5. Can someone confirm?

Confirmed. If you select the Apple Watch stainless Series 5 on Apple‘s website/app, scroll down to ‘tech specs’ and it’s underneath there, where it will tell you that includes a sapphire display.
 
The only mention I see regarding sapphire is "ceramic and sapphire crystal back". I can't find mention of sapphire display.
