I have been reading the reviews on the sport and some say it scratches to easy and they advise getting a screen protector. For the luck ones out there that have their sport please report any scratches and how they happened. Thanks!
Got a tip for us?

Sport face scratches???? Is it an issue?

I don't have a single scratch on mine and I haven't babied it. It's smacked against a couple things accidentally at work and I don't set it on anything special when I charge it. Others have had scratches appear by seemingly not touching it. YMMV
Here's something I shared in another thread: https://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=21237049#post21237049
TL;DR: no scratches and not babying it.
No scratches yet, but if you know that scratches will bug you throw a screen protector on; you'll kick yourself if you don't and subsequently scratch it.
I'm guessing there was a bad batch of glass. If people are experiencing both ends of the specrtrum, it only makes sense that some watches ended up with bad glass and others didn't. Especially with reports of abuse with no visible damage and reports of extreme care and scratches all over
Thanks for the responses. Looks like some of the you tube videos are bogus. This one in particular is BS.

He talks about scratches but never shows you until the end and it looks like one aggressive full face scratche all going the same direction....

Babying the heck out of it. Tons of micro scratches up and down from daily use.
Called Apple, they acknowledged there is an issue without outright saying it's an issue. Said bring it Genius bar and they'll exchange.
Guessing some may have a 'soft' application of the anti-glare/smudge material.
It's definitely not in the glass, looks like in the top layer. So annoying, every person that 'wants to play with it' asks about the scratches....

Got mine a few days ago. I've been super careful with it, but accidentally bumped my arm on a car window and the casing got a scratch.
I was very careful with mine for the first few days, ended up with a light but long scratch on the glass.
I was a little less careful and now I have a fairly deep scratch almost the length of the entire glass.
I'm far from abusing the thing, but it doesn't seem to be holding up well during normal everyday use for me.

Had mine for two weeks now and there's not a single scratch on the glass no matter what angle you look at it at, and there's no damage to the aluminum case either.
That being said, I'm very aware that this thing is on my wrist and I've subconsciously been babying it.
