They beat the Apple Watch Ultra and the table breaks before the watch

Apple, during the presentation of the Apple Watch Ultra, indicated that this new watch, designed for extreme sports, is its most resistant model to date. To achieve something similar, the company includes, among other things, a sapphire front glass which prevents the screen from being damaged by bumps or scratches when, for example, the wearer is scrambling. But, How durable is this watch and, in particular, the glass in which it is built?

YouTube channel techrax He wanted to check it out. For this, various durability tests have been carried out, including one in which hammer on the Apple Watch Ultra screen. Result? The table on which the clock stood was broken before the glass of the device itself.

This can be seen from minute 2:34 of the video. Youtuber begins to hit the clock with a hammer with considerable force. Glass, though not damaged.

If it seems like internal components — other than the table — are doing it, then the Apple Watch Ultra won’t turn on after a few hammer blows. Glass, on the other hand, also shatters, but after about 15 hits.

Apple Watch Ultra is very durable

Of course, the hammer test is just one way to test the durability of the Apple Watch Ultra. Achieving this level of damage in normal use is next to impossible, even if the user is into extreme sports. This, however, suggests that the It perfectly withstands blows that can be inflicted by accident.

Channel techrax he also performs other resistance tests that may be more realistic. One of them is the one throw clocks from different heights, something that could simulate, for example, a fall. The screen in this case also remains intact. The case, made of titanium, also does not have significant damage, although there are surface marks or scratches. Another test, which should demonstrate scratch resistance, also completed without serious damage.

Recall that the Apple Watch Ultra costs 999 euros. It’s a watch designed for extreme athletes, as it includes much more advanced features than the Apple Watch Series 8 and the rest of the company’s devices. Among them are dual-frequency GPS, water resistance to a depth of 100 meters or a battery of up to 36 hours of use.
