Not broken mine, but have seen a few with cracked screens. So as a preventative measure I scanned eBay for tempered watch glass covers, and found one for just a few pounds. Smash proof, scratch proof etc!
hopefully it'll save the screen in a crash and save me a few quid or losing a PP session.
just thought I'd mention it!
A few quid .. like about the cost of a new watch, according to Locosys repair cost estimates. Seems like a "good" way to increase the size of a small market. They could have just recessed the glass a bit into the plastic, like Amazon did with the Kindles. I dropped my Kindle Paperwhite many times, and it never broke. My GW-60 screen broke the first time it dropped in a parking lot.
I had one of these spare from my Samsung Gear S3. I just stuck it on figuring it couldn't hurt.

So how does it fit in place? And is the size right?
It takes just a few minutes to fit. Screen needs cleaning with the cleaning kit (included), then you simply put the tempered glass in place. Its not self adhesive, and it can be removed with a razor blade and piece of paper. Here's a video showing how to ........
Thanks Mark, I've ordered this from ebay.auhttps://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Universal-Tempered-Glass-Screen-Protector-for-38mm-Diameter-Round-Watch/132336157006?hash=item1ecfd9814e:g:F3YAAOSwlxRaVz5u
$2.86 free postage, but it may not get here until March 1st. Just have to make sure I don't drop the watch before it arrives.
Its a little disconcerting that the tempered glass sits up higher than the bezel.
Getting a protector that covers the entire glass may be important. The screen on my watch broke when the edge of the screen hit the ground. That could still happen when the protector covers just the center of the screen.

Defo, full coverage has to be best to avoid edges chipping. I've also ordered the 38mm version (thanks for the link deceprit, I could only find 36mm on eBay).
