Is apple watch screens really that fragile?

I just bought my apple watch se (2nd gen) 2 days ago. Today, I accidentally dropped my watch on the floor. It's not really that high. I'm 175cm tall and I dropped it above my hips. Really disappointed with the screen it got easily broke just like a 5-dollar watch.

Iwatch 8 too fragile This morning, my son put is iwatch8 to his wrist but accidentally, the watch fell on the floor. Result : the glass behind the watch where you put the power magnet is partially broken. My son started to cry, he worked hard to buy his watch 1 month ago and it is already broken. You could say, that's not Apple fault but I found not fair to buy a 400 $ watch which is soo fragile she can brake when it fall from 1 meter height. He contacted Apple chat and he was reply the repair will cost 350 €, soo the price of the watch ! I think it is a missconception of this watch which is too heavy and too fragile. I have a 50 $ watch which has fallen several times and has never broken ! You can see the white crackles on the right on the picture. I don't expect Apple to replace the glass for free but 50-100 $ would have been more fair. Who can I get in touch in Apple to discuss about this issue ?
