First of all, we rub the display on the wall of the stone of a sticky club with a great momentum.


Next, scratch the surface with a coin all the time.


Rubbing with a key without inserting hair ... ...


Verify that you hit by scratching.

Use polishing paper to polish metal and wood, so it's gorgeous.


After being rubbed with abrasive paper, only the display is copied for a moment, but there is no scratch on the appearance at all.


Next is not a bad thing such as a coin or a key, but a hammer to verify how strong it is.


I hit the display with a hammer, but I am sorry a bit because I do not want to beat pretty much.


It was a drill that appeared the next time as though it had took away this thought 'I'm sorry I did not hit the battle with a hammer.' I thought that the drill was hitting the display while rotating at high speed, "I will not be able to win the drill anyway ..."


If you look up the display after the experiment, you can see that the other side is not scratched enough to look beautiful.


It is surprising that there are no scratches even if changing the angle.


In addition, the sports type Apple Watch Sport employs tempered glass specialized for shock resistance, not sapphire glass.


Experiments with coins, keys, abrasive paper, even hammers and drills have shown that Apple Watch's display boasts considerable strength. In addition, the sapphire glass is installed not only in Apple Watch but also in the camera cover of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus and the cover of the fingerprint authentication sensor.
