What do you mean by liquid, the ones where you only pour a liquid and spread it around the display, or the ones where you put a liquid glue and a tempered glass on top of it + cured by UV light?

The first ones are a scam and they won't protect anything.
The second ones will come off just like a regular screen protector, there are videos of people removing them.

Nope, had my 1st gen since it came out. Wear it from 6am till 10pm every day. Not a scratch.

Sapphire glass? I've had stainless steel model in the past screen was perfect with daily use, but now I have aluminum model I put on screen protector.

I've been wearing a series 0 aluminum model every day since they were released 4+ years ago, and the screen is pristine.

I've also never used a screen protector on my iPhones, and I've never had one get scratched or broken.

My series 4 has been a total scratch magnet. I scratched it real bad in an unfortunate pickleball mishap and I use a screen protector now basically to cover up all of those scratches. Since then I've dragged it across a chainlink fence as well accidentally and I'm glad I had the screen protector on for that. I just use the Skinomi skins.

I do. Already saved my screen once. It’s pretty invisible, especially because I also wear a case on my watch. Scratched it somehow once. Took the film off, put a new one on and it was good as new again. I think it helps with finger prints as well.

No screen protector on my Series 2 and now my Series 4. I can't tell you how many times I clipped or banged this thing against something. No crack or scratches.
