Never used (or thankfully needed) a protector before. But given the cost of my new Fenix, for the sake of around £3, I consider it to be a no-brainer now.

The missus got a nasty scratch on her 230 within the first week and has been upset that she didn't use one for the past 5 years.

I've got a deep scratch on my Vivoactive 4 and really wish I'd put on a screen protector :-(

When I bought my 645 (still in the box awaiting birthday) I bought a screen protector too on the basis that I've so often scratched something on day 1 I'd rather try the protector at first and if I hate it for some reason I can take it off easily enough.

OK, thanks. I've ordered the watch and added some screen protectors too.

I’ve just ordered a tempered glass one!

I have a glass screen protector on my phone which cost less than my watch 😂
Better safe than sorry!

I have the screen protector on the Fenix 6s as I mistakenly ordered the pro not sapphire - you wouldn't know it was on its brilliant.

I took a heavy fall wearing a fenix 5 sapphire on a rocky path - casing was badly scratched, but not a mark on the screen.

When I upgraded to the 6s made sure I got the sapphire again and no need for screen protectors

Sapphire glass really is the business isn't it?
