Hi
Whether or not to fit a screen protector is a matter of personal preference.
Stainless Steel and Ceramic (Edition) Apple Watch Series 3 models have a sapphire crystal, which is substantially more scratch resistant than Ion-X Glass.
Scratches aside, a screen protector may also protect against impact-related damage.
You may wish to consider, for example, products from:

If you have not yet done so, then you may wish to consider purchasing AppleCare+, which provides for up to two instances of accidental damage (but not cosmetic scratches or damage), each subject to payment of a service fee / excess.
Once you have received your Apple Watch, if AppleCare+ is available to purchase online for it, then it may be offered as an option when checking your service coverage here:
Check Your Service and Support Coverage - Apple Support
Otherwise, to learn about any AppleCare+ policy or plan that may be available to buy in your country and the applicable time limit for purchasing it, follow this link, select your country and, on the next page, see the information within any section headed "Can I buy additional coverage for my Apple Watch?":
Details for the US and UK, for example - including instructions at the bottom for buying AppleCare+ - are detailed here:
