Yeah. Nobody know what "composite"back means but it does seem to be easier to scratch than the front face. Perhaps its just transparent plastic. If somebody with watch/edition can respond, it'll be great.

No surprise here, but the sapphire screen on mine is flawless after being dropped, bumped, scraped, and worn during workouts. I'm doubtful it'll get scratched/damaged at any point in time, but still got AppleCare+ if anything were to happen.
Ha....interesting. Your post reminds me of the person who said his grandson's watch spontaneously cracked and a piece broke off overnight while he was sleeping.
I considered that doubtful. Reading your post makes me think something was wrong in that whole situation.
Apple lists the back material as "composite" (whatever that means) on the Sport model, and "ceramic" on the other two models.
Short answer: No problems yet, and not for a lack of trying.
Longer answer: I have always been a strong advocate of using a screen protector on my iPhones. It seems that whenever I don't, I get a ding, scratch or worse within a week. I pre-ordered my Apple Watch Sport, and was really worried about how well the screen would hold up. Honestly, I had worried that I should have chosen an edition with a sapphire crystal rather than the sport watch with gorilla glass.
Once I got my watch (on day one) I purchased a screen protector from Amazon, but it was a big waste of money. The curved nature of the glass made it impossible to stick it on reliably. After a few days of trying, I gave up and decided to let it get scratched up if it was going to get scratched up.
Months later, having dropped it, having banged my wrist against many a hard object, having had the watch fly off of my wrist because I had not fastened the buckle correctly, I haven't got a single scratch or ding, on the glass or on the metal. I could sell it as new.
Same here, I'm 6'5" of clumsy and not a mark or a scratch anywhere on my sport edition.

Which screen protector do you use?
I have the Spegin Steinheil Flex. It's not bad but it's not great either. It's been durable but it was a pain to put on and it is noticeable. bamf-hacker had another brand on his watch that he really liked and recommended. I'd look into that if I were you.
