I’ve been using these plastic type protectors for my Apple Watch since October 2023. I’m not responsible enough to have a watch without protection, and with these type of protectors, my watch is able to withstand drops/bumps without damage (broken screen before). The material does harden over time, but for the cost, it’s worth the investment to replace the protector compared to a new watch. Definitely would recommend this over the harder type plastic covers or screen stickers.
