Apple Watch 7 scratches

Hello,


Is the new watch not meant to scratch?? Very disappointed with this.


This was one of the reasons I purchased

Glass can be scratched. The Aluminum Apple Watch comes with glass which is harder to shatter, but that doesn't mean it can't be scratched as you've now learned. Apple won't cover the scratch under warranty as that is cosmetic damage. You could have purchased the Stainless or Titanium Apple Watch, which is more expensive, but they have Sapphire Glass, which is very difficult to scratch. There's a reason the Stainless and Titanium watches cost more.


To avoid future scratches, you can buy a screen protector for your Apple Watch. Best Buy sells them. Amazon has loads of options as well. They're inexpensive and fully protect the screen on your watch.
