yea that part actually impressed me

i saw it on techrex video too

The same thing happened to me about the 5 series, I made a wavy slide and found myself with a broken watch ...

my samsung J5 2 years ago dies without any crack on screen, this happen also to 3 another friends that have the same Samsung. it was a problem with the LCD that isn't quality as the glass. ------- I think apple can improve the LCD and they will make the most indestructible ever.

That's because the screen actually cracked beneath the cover glass. Happens pretty often with OLED (I'm working at phone repair service/shop and I've seen a lot of these)

Yeah I have one and this is tough to watch. I’m at the 10:50 mark, I’m like stop it lol 🛑

The word cringe just doesn’t do it - but it’s great to see Apple finally make a watch that matches the price tag. Well done video.

Same here

Just drop it from vary high

Same

Yeah , i have a series 5 titanium and after 3 years the screen still looks new, it’s worth paying extra and not caring that much that you’ll scratch the screen and imo I don’t like adding screen protector or cases to my watch

I hope JRE checks out the glass's material

My series 5 had a bunch of scratches although it’s the aluminum.. I used a uv screen protector to cover the current scratches 😅

You don’t need one with the stainless steel or ultra. My series 3 stainless steel has zero scratches/dents. Pretty crazy glass tech.

Never ever feel stupid for buying a screen protector

Don't forget powerbank incase!!

How is the performance after ur recent hiking experience??

no way, im using ultra😂 if you are using cellular in it, it will only last for 24 hours

It is! I e had mine for a few months and love it

@Extremos ikr it’s just pointless

$1,100 for me :(

@@HeroOfComberthHarbor really? What country do you live in? For me its £850 but that includes tax as everything does in the uk. In America its $800 but that doesn't include taxes I don't think.

1000€ in germany

Bro 💀

@@Thron2111 same in Hungary. I got it today and I love it so far

When it sparked i was convinced that was the end.... NOPE! Sucking amazing!

Probably not, i think the flat screen on the ultra reduces the chance of breaking.

True

True

Yea but it was more hit and later on it got hit hard You would be surprise how easy these watch break

That was more of a medium overkill hit*

Not at all

Прошло 9 месяцев? Как вам часы и в каком они состоянии?))

@@Lucius2204 huh?

@@CeeJayDee94how’s the watch holding up?

@@edwinfernando11 not a scratch on it. The band is a bit stained from all the different greases and paints and chemicals etc that get on it, and some slight wear. But that’s easily replaced. Other than that the watch face itself is as good as the day I got it 👍🏻

It's probably a combination of engineering and glass. It's like physics of adding beams into concrete. Concrete can absorb one type of force and steal another, but together they mitigate both. the lip around the glass and frame combined with glass is key to spreadng impact across a larger area and avoiding any singular impact point being more destructive.

@@mysticalos The crown guard was much needed as well.

😂

Considering taking mine off too now

How is it holding up so far? I work in a industrial environment and I take this Watch with me to work so I’m afraid of cracking or scratching the glass.. I have broken two screen protectors at work 🥺

@@Bipets2001dont risk it man

Given the abuse it took I'm betting on real sapphire. The internals broke before the glass - amazing.

Yeah this is sapphire no doubt given the abuse

Yeah lmao

I dont blame it but it does sound kinda mad ngl

🤣

Yes shoot a gun at it !

Don’t give em ideas 🫣

I used to use a 38mm 💀

How's it holding up? I work in a kitchen with a stainless everywhere, this is a pain with watches.

I have a "Series 0" steel/sapphire Apple Watch, and I actually got a bunch of what looks like scratches on the display. I'm almost certain it's the anti-glare/anti-reflective coating being scratched, and not the sapphire itself, but it still looks bad. I'm honestly surprised your 2015 Apple Watch has no visible "scratches" on the display. I was so disappointed in how the sapphire screen ended up looking that for my next Apple Watch (Series 4), I just got the aluminum/ion-x glass version (which also, not surprisingly gets scuffed up pretty bad). I'm glad it seems like Apple is no longer putting that coating on the Ultra's sapphire. For context, this is a thing with non-smart watches as well. As an example, Omega often puts AR (anti reflective) coatings on both the underside & top of their sapphire crystals, and as such, they do get scuffed up pretty easily (lots of reports/videos online about this). Whereas Rolex/Tudor only put AR coatings on the underside of their sapphire crystals, so while they won't look as crisp new (due to the increased glare), they are as scratch resistant as the Ultra is in this video.

I have done that and put a screen protector on it, I know the screen is seemingly almost indestructible, but knowing my luck I would get the Ultra that cracks 😂 The case I brought looks really nice on the watch and stopped me worrying about scraping it across a wall whilst I’m out on a photography trip, whilst I’m doing that I often drag my watch on walls without knowing it.

@@UHDGamers-re2xj which case did you end up going with?

I’ve been wearing a series 7 45mm for a good while now and when the ultra got announced I wasn’t that into it. Just kinda like “that’s pretty badass for athletes, I bet marques will love it” but the more I watch videos on it the more I kinda want to buy one lol.

You‘re acting like this was a ridiculous price for this product.

@@monsi9626 it is. $600-$650 would be a fair price

@@monsi9626 stop being so judgemental. $800 is a lot of money period. 💰

@@TheGoDoT96 let me know when you find another titanium Watch for 600$ besides the Samsung watch5 pro

Spoiler alert… it is

The stainless versions of the watches have more durable crystals.

I had the same observation almost immediately. The sapphire glass wasn’t advertised to have been strengthened since the first Apple Watch. The Ultra seems to have the same glass as the stainless steel series 5 on my wrist and series zero in my drawer. That said, I’d still bank on the ultra’s display being a bit more durable because it sits flat instead of curved like the Series Stainless Steel displays.

Good observation. I don't think it would've done much though. The curving class on the series 8 is supposed to be more durable than the series 4 design. I highly doubt that is the case. The curving class on the 8 makes it so the casing around it probably wouldn't do much to the watch.

@@mathmanchris666 that is not what we meant. The watch that comes with the stainless steel case has the same sapphire crystal screen as the ultra and as the previous titanium models. The aluminum models have what they call Ion X glass. I have a series 3 stainless steel watch that has been dropped, hit against walls, scrapped and the screen is intact. Meanwhile, people usually scratch up the aluminum model's screen near instantly.

That proves that it’s built to last

@@abbystephens9766 you’re 100% correct.

why compare two with the same material? i guess the curved glass might crack easier but who even wants an SS model now since it’s like the same price as the ultra which is way better

@@nickbobronnikov7213 because he was highlighting the toughness of the screen as a major feature of the ultra and I am calling out that the feature is also on the SS version.
