Does the AWS7 glass scratch the air? This display is only two days old, but it's already disfigured like an old watch

[denisch]

I've only been using this watch for two days without the protective film, and the glass is already in terrible condition. I don't work in a factory, I don't build a house: I just walk around with my watch hidden under the sleeve of my jacket, and I take a shower with it. Are they scratched by the air currents?

Is there something inside your jacket sleeve that could scratch the surface?

I only use aluminium watches and don’t use screen protectors. My screens stayed looking brand new.

You are obviously scratching it on something. It’s not the air doing it.

Your jacket sleeve is probably the cause.

I just work in a factory. I sold the last watch with perfect glass, and I wear the new ones without scratches so far. I hope so it will be.
really , look carefully around what can scratch . and don't worry so much - it's just a thing, albeit an expensive one

I do have a couple of scratches in my 7, but it took nearly a year to get the first one, where as my AW3 and AW4 accumulated scratches early on.

While I think they are overpriced, I wouldn’t consider anything other than an SS model now (only in the sale though)

I use a glass screen protector as micro scratches would bother me.

This is why I only buy Apple Watches with the sapphire crystal.

Don’t blame the “air”!

Blame yourself.

I used my series 8 for a small period without a screen protector with a jacket, did not obtain any surface scratches or deep scratches... I do bang up my watch a lot unknowingly and thats probably what's happening here. The screens are pretty resistant to scratches compared to early gens but still can scratch.

Those are deep scratches... There is either something on the bottom of your jacket sleeve that caused this or you scraped against something without noticing.

A metal popper on the jacket pocket?

I would always be careful in 2 situations.

1. Reaching in and out of dresser drawers.
2. When sitting at a table and bringing my arm up from my lap.

High scratch risk
