Apple Watch Ultra Hammer Durability and Drop Test - Will it Survive?

Just how durable is the new Apple Watch Ultra? I decided to drop it, shake it in nails, and use a hammer on it!

Whatever it was sitting on started to crumble before the watch did. Pretty impressive. That is a much more extreme test than you would find in the wild. You could encounter something hard like that, but your body is going to be a lot softer on the other side and absorb some energy.

[@Yep6803]

there’s pretty no motivation for being so surprised, it isunder military parameters and those standards… keep in mind those sportwatches are pretty whole sturdy at the same level, what they say is about: a) battery life, 2 days aren’t enough if you do such extreme sports most of the time (I doubt in Himalaya you can charge them!); b) same cost are sprtwatch with better and more trustworthy sensors, so isn’t even perfect.

That’s crazy way over preformed my expectations I had no idea it would never break lol. There is no way I ever put it through anything close to this.

[@ericiidx]

The presentation reminds me of the first few batches of the Apple Watch. They took a page out of the mechanical watch handbook with the packaging and first impressions, and the stainless models (and up) received their own "rounded square" hard cases. I'm the type of tech nerd that keeps the box, and it was always nice to come back to the earlier Apple Watch boxes. My last Apple Watch was a Series 5 in stainless steel, and if I recall correctly, it just came in a very boring, rectangular paperboard package. I probably damaged it while opening it. I probably threw it away.

[@RudraNaruto]

[@feiwong70]

I did enjoy the video but felt bad for watch itself! This is exactly the test I’ve been looking for to seeing. No screen protector needed for me knowing that I ‘m pretty careful with my gadgets and if I happened to drop AWU2 its screen won’t easily crack. Thank you!

[@heyspookyboogie644]

Just before the screen goes black you can see the OLED cracked even though the cover glass didn’t. I bet the watch still worked and just the screen didn’t. At least until he completely smashed it.

[@diplexnormal3353]

Damn, you could be right. But honestly, he hammered that thing so hard, I’m convinced that the bunt trauma messed up the internals like the motherboard but I’ve never seen glass so durable in my life.

[@TamerBekir]

An OLED can’t crack. The screen in front of an OLED displace can crack. OLEDs are made individual pixels that make the display. This is then covered by the sapphire glass. I had to freeze frame to see what you were referring to. I see the line, but this didn’t come from a cracked screen. The line you see happens when the OLED display becomes defective, or is shorted of some short. The display losses its pixels in that area thus causes a vertical or horizontal line of dead pixels. So, in short, no screen cracked but the internals of this watch were damaged. Source: I used repair TV panels including OLED displays.

[@TamerBekir]

@@diplexnormal3353 the internals of the watch broke which caused the line he is referring too. Nothing actually cracked on the screen or display.

They must've actually used sapphire on the front glass to make it stronger. They say they use sapphire on the iPhone camera lenses but then they'll scratch like glass

[@daniel_960_]

Same stuff as always. Apple sapphire. That it scratches like glass is absolutely untrue. Though these videos with the scratch pic show it's the same. In reality it's absolutely not. So the videos are just misleading. Though it might not perform the same as a traditional sapphire crystal, in real use the iPhone lenses and premium Apple watches barely ever scratch. Never seen the slightest scratch on a iPhone camera. And I never wear cases. My titanium Apple watch looks like new after 2 years, literally not the slightest scratch on the glass. While my old aluminum watch with normal glass looked absolutely horrendous. And I take less care of my current one because I know it won't scratch.

[@ronsan4347]

I love it when he cleans the back before smashing it. Don't get me otherwise

[@properfpv7160]

With light hits you didn’t crack it but the first real hit it shattered like normal glass. Also setting it on drywall cushioned it a lot compared with hardwood or concrete. It’s kind of tough but can easily be broken into pieces.

[@icephoenix621]

Who is hitting the watch with a hammer? Nah a rockclimbing or hitting against a rock would have been better.
