So mostly I'm wearing my Nike edition as it came. I splashed out on applecare+ to cover major screwups, albeit at $70 a pop.

Still, I have a long list of home improvement projects and would like to be able to keep wearing my watch while working, so I'd like to add a little quick & easy protection without spending much.

Any particular suggestions for this purpose?

This is what I use! They just started coming out with ones that match the Series 2/Nike Watches.

Since the watch will be worth 2/3rd less in 1 year, save your money, enjoy the watch, and wear it as is.
 
Thanks for your input. I'd already considered that thought and decided that I prefer to take care of my stuff and not have it end up looking it like ****. It's well worth $8-15 for protection I can easily/quickly put on the watch when I'm going to be doing tasks that substantially increases the risk of damage.

You've tried every one on the market? They *all* fall off? I find that difficult to believe.

Now if you'd share the specific models which you had a problem with, that would be helpful information. As a generalization, it's of no practical use.

Looks are irrelevant while I'm doing carpentry, floors, drywall, tile, landscaping, moving furniture, etc.

So... ya got nothin' to back up your specious generalization. Thanks for wasting my time.

I appreciate the actual helpful input from the others who've shared options that they've found to work for them.
