I never had a watch with Gorilla Glass but if that’s the one used in smartphones - I’ll pass. Used glass protecotors and after few days-week my screen got scratches. Now it’s 2 years Vertical with no scratch (0 protectors) on Sapphire Crystal (some more/less visible scratches on titanium bezel). For my lifestyle and work, Sapphire is must have for sports watch. I don’t know it’s true but on Mohs scale Sapphire is 9/10 and Gorilla Glass is 6-7/10. I wear Vertical 24/7 with taking off for shower and cleaning only. Suunto Race S is designed more for running than adventures. I can’t provide that it’s durable for scratches. Probably any protector will be less durable than Race S glass but at least You could easily replace it.

@katec I can’t speak for the Race S, but with my Gorilla Glass Garmins I never had a screen protector and no problems either…
-
I intensively use my SRs since last july (hiking, moutaineering, climbing, trail ruuning, mtb…)
Not any sractch on screen.
I have never put any protection on any of my suunto’s and won’t.
(It’s an adventure watch, let it live its life fully !

I’ve owned several Suunto watches, both with and without a sapphire crystal. Based on my experience, I recommend buying a screen protector if you don’t want scratches. I wish I had put one on myself. I didn’t even notice in what situation my RS got scratched. It happened during everyday use.

@katec So far I’ve always bought watch protection and the one I bought for the Suunto race S is by far the best I’ve ever had.
I just found this on AliExpress:
€7.12 | Mr.Shield Screen Protector compatible with Suunto Race S [Tempered Glass] [3-Pack] [Japan Glass with 9H Hardness]

@Dragan thanks you for recommendation. It looks good. I ordered the same screen protector yesterday.
