Screen protector on watch

[Highrisedrifter]

I wonder how many of the folks above are using a Sport vs a Regular Apple Watch?

I wear a watch every day and most of my daily drivers are pretty beat up. I don't want my Apple Watch to suffer the same fate, so a screen protector will go on the device on day one I think.

I had not worn a watch in years. When I did wear a watch back in my younger day, they were usually inexpensive. A little better than Timex, but not much. Those screens back then would not have held up as the Watch screen does. Even so, I never scratched or did damage to any of them. So I figure I'll be fine without a screen protector on the Watch. If I thought I needed a screen protector for the Watch, I just wouldn't use it. But that's me and my lifestyle. Retired homebody! Lol

Never in 30+ years of watch wearing have I even considered using a screen protector on a watch.

I'm sure as hell not going to start now.

 

[Snoweagle]

No for mine and I don't see why I'll need one too.

I did on the Sport before I traded it in on the SS. Tried on the SS before I gave up with the peeling corners (didn't encounter that with the sport!). I was nervous at first but it's been fine after over a month without it.

I took an old coffee can lid and a couple of rubber bands and made me a screen protector, but it kept cutting the back of my hand so I stopped wearing the watch... I'm saving up for a new pair of shoes, I figure the shoe box top will make a better screen protector...

Not true, I had a watch 40 years ago that was able to tell time...

Exactly, and one I had showed the day and date... And you didn't have to charge it at night, just wind it up... Now that's a smart watch...

How's it holding up without the screen protector ? Considering removing mine and just opting to get AppleCare in the event something happens.

I found one screen protector glass version and it's great stays on there

Here's my 42mm  Sport Watch with a screen protector, case, and a great watchband from CaseMate.

I use a screen protector since I work in a CNC machine shop. My hands usually have some kind of dirt or grit on them at all times.
I don't use a case though. And the watch as far as I can tell doesn't have a scratch yet.

 

[rdmedina7]

where did you get that protector from?

 

[gilligan793]

I had a similar problem with my screen protectors. I finally stopped caring and took it off. Caused more annoyance than what it was worth. So I purchased a case that had a built in screen protector for the times I might need it (working outside, hiking, ect.)

Pretty much. The rounded edges are not conducive to keeping a protector on there. Been fine without!

No screen protector or case. I bought them and ended up not liking them. I love the clean lines of the watch and I find the cases take away from the design.

I totally agree. I have a case that I got for free months ago and haven't used it once. Although it's made by Apple it's still a watch. I've worn watches daily for years and haven't felt the need to cover it with a case.
