If that is true, why does it make sense on the watch even?

  Because watches are bound around your wrist, thus making them much less likely to be dropped (and they're much lighter if they are dropped) - scratching is the big concern with watches. I believe many (most?) high-end non-smart watches already use sapphire instead of glass for that reason.

  You're less likely to drop a watch (the band), and more likely to scratch it (brushing up against stuff). That's my guess anyways. I thought it was interesting that the "Watch Sport" actually comes with the glass display. Which seems like they put some thought into it?

    That definitely makes sense then, if sapphire is more scratch resistant
