In the deadly 2011 tornadoes that came through Alabama, a 100-foot oak tree was docked down in our yard. It crushed my wife's Jeep Liberty, which was parked next to my Jeep Patriot. Several of the branches hit my Patriot, scratching up the paint on the top, sides and back, yet these glass windows came out unbroken and unscratched.

If you are going to spend anywhere between $350-$20,000 on an Apple Watch, buy a $6 screen protector and a $15 bumper case. Sure it might give your beautiful, expensive piece of wearable tech a cheap rubbery appearance, but at least the screen won’t get scratched! I’ve got the ArmorSuit MilitaryShield screen protector and the Poetic DuoLite case that I am going to install on my Apple Watch Sport this weekend to protect the screen in the future.
