@@Robstrap Yes but that doesn’t mean the cause was the glass. Sapphire is going on more expensive watches that are going to have much tighter tolerances and precision cuts. Plus they likely have overall better engineered cases. All of these factors play a huge part and it cracks or not despite being a more fragile crystal. Good example is the Apple Watch. In stress tests it’s far more shatterproof than the original glass A watch but they’d bc of the design not the crystal.

@blackrockcity Жыл бұрын

@10:42 you can see that the Apple Watch and the Samsung reflect the overhead light. There is a purple iridescence that is visible above the specular highlight of the reflection of the overhead light. This is a sign that an anti reflective coating has been deposited on the sapphire using vapor deposition, an additional manufacturing step that happens in a vacuum chamber. They bombard the surface with rutile, a titanium mineral. This would diminish the hardness but improve the user experience. The Garmin is shown seconds later and it doesn’t have the purple iridescence above it’s specular highlight of the overhead light. So this test is more of an investigation of product design rather than conclusive science. If anything the first two watches will have a better user experience than the Garmin because of their brighter, anti reflective coatings.

Here’s another happy Garmin Fenix 7 Sapphire Solar owner without any scratches or marks on the screen. However, the DLC coating on the bezel showed one tiny chip after a bump, nothing to worry about but definitely not “diamond like”. Loved the video, I waited so long for it!

@i5lee8bit Жыл бұрын

My nearly 5 year old Fenix 5 Sapphire has a nearly immaculate display even to this day. There's like 2 very slight hairline scratches when looking at it from the right angle in the right lighting. The bezel is an entirely different story, hahaha. But then again, I was doing network and systems admin work the entire time I owned that watch, which at one point involved some construction on a new building my company acquired and running all the cabling, installing the entire camera system, some electric work, building out a server rack and its contents, and manhandling a ton of equipment. That watch scraped against a ton of sharp metal and all sorts of nasty construction gunk (dust, dirt, "sandy" as in scratchy stuff, etc). Not sure if the Fenix 5 (not 5X) Sapphire had "DLC" bezels or not. But the bezel is practically 2 tone from all the abuse it took, lol! I now own a Fenix 7X Sapphire Solar for the last 2-3 months, and I absolutely love it (especially the built in flashlight - total flex). Even though I've since temporarily retired from full time work to be a stay at home dad to our toddler son, my bezels are also scratched up a small bit, with "deeper grooves" along the 6 o'clock position. Probably since I am still doing a ton of house work and upgrades since we just bought our first house 2 summers ago. While I have total faith in the integrity of the sapphire glass, I just consider the "DLC" coating to be total marketing jargon and basically always have assumed as such going into my purchase, haha.

Garmin Epix 2 user and I wouldn’t give this watch up for anything. GPS connection is amazing. Long battery life. Excellent display. And…not locked into an ecosystem.

I would be very interested in testing sapphire screen on Coros watches as almost all of them features sapphire screen and are quite affordable. I am curious if build quality level is on par with Garmin 🙂

I‘m glad that, even though apparently it doesn’t make much of a difference to those picks, it seems to make a difference in day to day life and activities. My other Apple Watches have scratched more easily (even just by being wiped clean with my shirt) than my current Apple Watch. It still looks like it’s just been unboxed, at least the screen. In the time I’ve had it, the others have collected many micro scratches that are hard to notice but if the sunlight hits the screen just right, they’re fairly apparent.

I'm literally choosing between Garmin epix (same as fenix in many aspects) and Apple Watch Ultra right now - timing couldn't be better!

@gamebuster800 Жыл бұрын

The ultra has mobile data, the garmin is a better sports watch and has way better battery life. I eventually went with the ultra, but I still have some buyers remorse (but I do like my Ultra). If you're using Apple Pay, see if your bank is supported on the Garmin!

I've got the S Watch 5... I wouldn't undersale the thing, it's very good. The fitness tracking, imo anyway, is lightyears better than anyone else's. Sleep tracking is best in class too no less. Battery life requires attention and discipline for sure, but it's perfectly doable to have it last you all day and all night, every day and every night. Just takes a lil bump charge in the morning after waking up, while getting ready, and before going to sleep. Beyond that though, the things stable, got top notch software, excellent screen, excellent haptics, excellent durability, and a good deal more pros, all for quite the low cost, comparatively... a fair price really... while everyone else is just p'sos about pricing.

@james11h Жыл бұрын

I’ve had my Ultra for months. I’ve hit it against walls and other hard things quite a few times in ways that definitely would have caused deep gouges in my old Watch. The titanium bezel is scuffed but not a single scratch yet on the screen. Very promising.

@brando12343 11 ай бұрын

i’ve had my series 4 stainless + sapphire for a few years now, just today i accidentally scuffed the screen well working on a car, i panicked and thought i’d just messed up my watch but it turns out the screen itself must’ve been harder then whatever scuffed it because with a small felt polishing cloth the scuff came off entirely, meaning the screen had actually scuffed the material not the other way around, pretty impressive, not to mention me and my father bought apple watches at nearly the same time, he however didn’t spring for the sapphire version, his screen is covered in microscratches well mine is still perfect with no zero scratches, apple may not use perfectly pure sapphire but it can definitely take a beating

@ChadyotheWallnut 8 ай бұрын

My previous applewatch 4, had scuffs all around the rounded edges but my applewatch ultra I've smashed against doorhandles, dropped on shower floor screen side first and I've got a few tiny chips missing out of the edge. The ultra is a tank.

I have an apple watch series 6 and it is so scratched up, the aluminium and the display is scratched and a while ago I hit a ledge making the screen to detach from the case. I'm getting the ultra 2 and hopes it will hold up way better!

Garmin Fenix is an awesome watch. I bought a Fenix 6X Sapphire last year and the display glass is still like brand new. Not a scratch on it after wearing it in all conditions, including a barn renovation. And the 7 day battery life is so much better than daily charging an Apple watch!

I tried the Fenix 6 and Fenix 7, but in the end there was nothing really that convinced going with something other than another Apple Watch… To be honest the round display on the competitors is a huge downside for me. In the end I decided to went with the Apple Watch Ultra this year and it’s a massive improvement over the older Apple Watches.
