sapphire crystal

I am a proud new owner of a Planet Ocean (black bezel, black rubber strap) and plan to never remove it from my wrist. Which leads to my question - just how durable and scratch-resistant is the sapphire crystal on these watches? I realize that the watches are very rugged but the domed crystal concerns me somewhat. I am someone who is quite active and don't like to have to be concerned about my watch. That's why I got a PO. Between the sports I do - skiing, cycling, hiking - to miscellaneous knocks and bashes, I don't want to have to remove my watch. Am I going to end up with a scratched up crystal? I've had good luck with sapphire crystals in the past but never had a domed one.

Any experience or thoughts?

Thanks!
