So was wondering since the black/space grey apple watch is similar to the black/space grey iPhone 5 that got all dinged up easily if the same would happen to the watch? I know that is why they went away from the "black" color iPhone and now have space grey. Thoughts?

They went to space gray for a reason. Sure anything can scratch if you scrape it against something. My space gray iPhone and iPad doesn't show a single scratch.

My space gray iPhone 5S and iPhone 6 Plus are still good as new. No scratches, scuffs or dings. Hope the watches hold up as well.

This is a real concern. Allyson brought this issue up recently on a podcast. So, I think it's something many people are thinking about. To be honest, this is why I didn't order that model. Now, if it tuns out "not" be an issue, my next Apple Watch will be Space Grey.

Only time will tell. I believe the iPhone 5 was called Black Slate.

Well I doubt you'd be dropping an apple watch nearly as much as an iPhone so it should be fairly less likely to get dinged up!

The space grey that was susceptible to scratching is a very different finish than what they've used for years now on the 5S and 6/6Plus...which don't have the same issue. I wouldn't worry about it.
