Hi, I am getting an Apple Watch Ultra 3 next weekend. Do I need a screen protector for it? I won't be using it in a gym really, just general life. I wash my hands white a bit though so there may be a risk of hitting the screen on a tap. My current Apple Watch Series 8 has scratches on it's screen so am not sure if I need one or not with the Ultra?
“need”? No, you don’t “need” one. My first 2 watches with Iona both had scratches, since I got sapphire, not a problem, and the Ultras I had, not a problem at all.
There have been posts here where folks reported scratches on their Ultra, only a couple if memory serves right. It is very rare.
I never had a screen protector on neither watch nor iPhone, personally I think they look ugly, YMMV
