Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I own two Tissot watches with sapphire crystal faces that are over 20 years old and have no scratches on them. When I heard Apple Watch Series 8 had a sapphire crystal face, I was excited. Is that an accurate claim?
iMac 27″, macOS 12.6
Apple has offered a sapphire crystal going all the way back to the original watch but only on the stainless steel and titainium models.
See the bottom section here:

I can confirm they are pretty darn scratch proof.

iMac 27″1. : The iMac 27-inch is a large desktop computer produced by Apple. As of my knowledge cutoff date in September 2021, the latest macOS version was macOS 11 (Big Sur). If macOS 12.6 is a future version, I would not have information about it. Please check the official Apple website or other reliable sources for updates beyond my knowledge cutoff date.
macOS 12.61. : As mentioned above, I am not aware of macOS versions beyond macOS 11 (Big Sur). If macOS 12.6 is indeed a future version, I recommend checking official Apple sources for information about its features, updates, and compatibility.
What does this have to do with the original poster's question?
I have a series 6 iWatch with a Saffire crystal and I'm not particular easy on the device. After multiple year of abuse, it still doesn't have a mark on it. I'll never girt an dither apple watch without it.
I'm not aware of a medical technology that doesn't measure blood pressure without using a pressure cuff. That wouldn't be practical with a watch on your wrist.
BTW, if it makes a difference, Apple's sapphire crystals are synthetic rather than naturally occurring.

I originally wasn't going to buy one with the sapphire crystal, but another user here, Lawrence Finch, suggested it would be a good idea. I also wouldn't buy one without it at this point. I tend to keep my watches for about three years or so.

I'm hoping for glucose monitoring. I find it hard to imagine how a watch could accurately monitor BP (but I haven't really researched the technology). BP monitoring is something I only need to do once a day so, it's less critical for me.

I agree I’m not sure how it’s gonna monitor BP but I like the idea my BP is in a major issue. It’s just something I’d like to have in the watch.
Oh, I agree it would be nice. But if they come out with glucose monitoring, I'll be happy to upgrade.

As long as they're this scratch-resistant, I don't care.
Yeah, I don't like girting or dithering either
