Best Apple Watch Case to Cover Screen Edges?

Can anyone recommend the best case for 42mm Apple Watch Sport that will cover the sides of the screen? I suffered a cracked screen somehow at work and paying $200+ to repair it right now just isn't realistic, especially with the watch being only 6 months old. I am trying to find a decent case that will cover up the cracks on the sides so that they are not as not ice able for the time being. The minor cracks in the middle are not even an issue when the watch is being used as it works fine still, my main concern right now is the edges being damaged and not getting any worse.

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 9.2, null

Check your warranty.

https://checkcoverage.apple.com

Every Apple Watch and Apple Watch Sport model comes with one year of hardware repair coverage through its limited warranty and up to 90 days of complimentary support.

With AppleCare+

AppleCare+ for Apple Watch and Apple Watch Sport extends your coverage to two years from the original purchase date1 and adds up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage, each subject to a service fee ($69 for Apple Watch Sport, $79 for Apple Watch) plus applicable tax.

Hi

Apple advises that you should not use a damaged Apple Watch - including one with a cracked screen (which is mentioned as a specific example) - as it may cause injury.

I suggest that you arrange for your watch to be serviced. You can contact Apple Support (mail-in service may be available) or make a Genius Bar reservation to establish your available service options, timescales and cost.
