I spent the extra dosh to get a sapphire screen on my (Garmin) watch. I've had it for 4.5 years, it's been through the wars. The metal around the body has scratches, the paint has come off is a few places. The watch face itself though is perfect - as pristine as the day I bought it. It cost $150 more than the gorilla glass watch, but the investment has totally been worth it, given the rugged life it leads.

Oh. I just looked up the Apple store. The Ultra (Apple's sapphire watch) is $600 more expensive. Yeah - get a cover. :)
