I have tried the Spigen and others found on amazon but this one really did the job in many aspects where the others just didnt cut it for me

1. completely obtrusive
2. ease of installation
3. fingerprint proof(i have oily fingers)
4. does not effect the touch sensitivity in anyway
5. just does as it sez on the box !
6. comes with a spare in the box

ESR ultra screen protector can be found on Amazon

I think I'd go that route if I bought the black Ultra (black one obv).

The bezel is the only area I'd worry about damaging.

I tried this one, but the touch screen was funky for me. swipe to type on the keyboard was unusable... Had to tap twice to open notifications... putting in password to unlock the watch would miss digits... It was very frustrating and I just ripped it off and went without a protector...... I did try a second one to make sure I hadn't received a dud. and both same results.

I have been using the Zagg Shield with the aluminum metal trim on my Ultra 2, but ever since the WatchOS 11.4 and 11.5 updates screen touch sensitivity has been spotty, especially for touching to open apps.

Apple suggested activating Assistive Touch might help some.

I’m using SWUU on my Apple Watch Ultra 2 and thus far, absolutely no touch issues.

I’m using the ESR protector on my Ultra 2 just as I did on my Ultra 1, and I haven’t been disappointed yet. You can’t even tell I have a screen protector on.
 
The Zagg Shield with the aluminum metal trim might have a slightly thicker screen protector glass than others, which might be why I am having touch sensitivity issues, but I never had these before the 11.4 or 11.5 WatchOS updates. The day after the 11.4 update - boom! sensitivity issues.
