The Apple Watch is not any less resilient than other steel sport watches, the problem is that people that are not used to wearing a watch believe they should be scratch proof (ever seen Spigen make a case for a Speedmaster?), which none of the ones you listed are, even at 250x the price, like the Nautilus (which was never a "sport watch" in the sense that you are using here, by the way). Go diving with a Submariner and it will get scratches and dents and no one will be surprised.
