I put a Defender on mine when I first got it, too. SS Black Series 2. I did have a SS Series 1 and after about 6 months the SS was micro scratched to hell and I put a chip in the upper right corner of the glass. Ultimately had it replaced because of a black spot about the size of the crown appearing on the screen directly to the left of the crown button.

I have AppleCare but I put it on for a few weeks to see how I reacted to having a watch on that has such an exposed face. Kind of like training wheels to see if I actually bumped a lot of surfaces or not. I've taken the Defender off and have had the new watch for about 2 months now and don't notice any damage or scratching.

Currently using the Tahoe Blue Woven Nylon with the Space Black. Loving the combo for Spring.

Ordered a Worn and Wound leather strap that I will pair with a Clockwork 22 mm adapter for 42 mm watches. I'll post pics as soon as I get them.

How did ss series 1 have micro scratch? It's suppose to have better scratch resistance? Or is it only series 2 with better quality?

The stainless steel got covered in swirls probably from cleaning and just everyday use.
I looked at my boss's series 1 a couple of days ago. It was bought at initial launch. It is almost dull and not shiny after getting even more of these scratches. This is one reason I bought the black stainless this year.

I have a 20 year old Citizen watch that still shines like day one.

So far like I said, I see NO scrAtches on my black SS series 2. I assume it is harder to see them on the black....

I believe they were referring to the stainless steel body, not the screen. Stainless steel gets scratched, that's just the way it goes.

Correct. I wrote that the SS got micro scratches. Not the sapphire which I did manage to put one 2mm scratch/gouge in.

Post all your photos! I wanna see everyone's watch when it arrives. Anything specific you want photos of just let me know.

*Sidenote, it's not bent. The light makes the top look that way in one of the photos lol.`
