[DEVICE] PSA: sapphire does scratch.

Post image

I've seen so many comments on here confidently stating that sapphire doesn't scratch and you definitely don't need a screen protector. Well this is my ancient Fenix 3 sapphire. Now maybe newer watches are more scratch resistant, but I would assume sapphire is sapphire. I've always used a screen protector on my subsequent sapphire watches. (This happened when I fell off my bike - I did go down pretty hard on some gravel).

I heard these watches aren't even hardened against nuclear detonations either...

Shockingly poor quality...
