Pretty sure you do not literally have tons of scratches....Yeah... mine is scratched all over the place already, and I've only had it for six hours. The MS Store didn't have any protectors in stock, they're supposed to send me one when they get them, but I'm disappointed. There are literally TONS of small scratches all over the face of the device. None on the actual screen itself, but the entire bezel area is scratched like crazy, and I work in an office at a desk.
I love the device, but am not impressed by this.
I know a trick to avoid those annoying bubbles...I just had a terrible time putting on the screen protector. There's a ton a bubbles and scratches. Most likely my fault. I called MicroSoft and the guy in the call center said he can ship me a new one ($9.99) with free one day shipping (normally costs around $16). Awesome.
On Amazon, I can see protectors by ArmorSuit that will only sell by Nov 22.
No, not joking. Good point. So the activity pretty much dictates how you should wear it.Well if you are typing at a desk with the screen facing the desk, I'm guessing a screen protector might be a good idea. Wait, or were you joking?

Pretty sure that the bezel of MY device is littered with MANY scratches already after less than one day of normal use. I haven't even worked out with it yet, just been wearing it at the office and at home. It doesn't impair the use of the device, but it sure looks ugly, especially when I tell people it's "brand new."
i get it but given what this thing is designed to do, i've given up on the idea of keeping it pristine. on the other hand, i do wish the top panel was made of one piece of glass set in the rubber casing. i think that would feel better and would have looked and felt better than setting the panel in the grippy plastic that catches my finger every time i touch the screen.

This is what mine looks like after wearing it for a few hours at the office yesterday (desk job) and wearing it at home for one evening. Put your screen protectors on, people. I did not do anything aggressive or even work out with it on yet, this is simply from performing normal tasks while wearing it (face in) on my wrist.
It's hard to capture the scratches properly in this lighting with a camera, it looks worse in person.
