Apple Watch's ion-X glass put to the test [video]

A little more than 48 hours for the first Apple Watch to reach their owners, is circulating on the web one of those videos in which you can see how they mistreat a device or, as in this case, a part of it. The chosen device, how could it be otherwise, is the Apple Watch. More concretely, the crystal that they will mount the smartwatches of those from Cupertino is their Sport version.

Apple included in the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus a new crystal that they baptized as ion-X glass. This crystal, for some people, is at the level of Gorilla Glass 3, but it is far from being at the height of the Gorilla Glass 4, which already comes in the Galaxy S6, or, as no one will doubt, far from the scratch resistance of sapphire, a crystal that will be carried by models with a higher price as they are the Watch model and the Edition model. The question is, how long will the glass of the Apple Watch Sport hold?

It seems that Lewis hilsenteger, better known as Unbox Therapy, has the answer. For those of you who don't know who he is, almost certainly if I tell you that he was the one who started the last gate against Apple, I'm referring to #BendGate, you will know who it is. To find out, how could it be otherwise, torture an Apple Watch glass with objects such as a key, knife or sandpaper.

As you can see in the video that heads this post, and if you haven't seen it and you don't want me to gut the result, stop reading, el crystal endures like a wild boar both the blows with a key and the "stabbing" with the knife. Honestly, I did not expect this crystal to withstand these two cases that take the situation to the extreme.

But there are a third and fourth test that are that of the scourer and that of the sandpaper. The scourer test also passes it but, how could it be otherwise, the sandpaper leaves the glass in very bad condition. This third test is an extreme case that no user will reach, so I think we can be quite calm that the glass of the Apple Watch Sport will withstand normal use and even a little "gross".

    Envy corrodes you, those who insult or those who criticize the brand especially the IPHONE 6 and Apple wacth is what I see eh? Without offending anyone, who then jump with all their weapons loaded and wasps begin to rain… It's a comment that I don't want them to be offended, but I see envy, if you buy something expensive it's to take care of it, I've had my iPhone 6 since it came out Without a cover, I never dropped it and it is IMPOLUTE !!
