Drop Test: Apple Watch 42mm Sport onto concrete

I haven't been keeping up with the new Apple Watches but according to this video, the Sport version doesn't have the better glass.

That's why I don't wear nice watches except when I'm dressed up. They get too beat up. My knuckles heal. Watch crystals.. don't.

Must be nice to have that kind of disposable income..

Do watches spontaneously pop off people's wrists often?

Any test videos of the Apple Watch in a bench vise?
You know — just in case. My hand would be mangled but at least I have my other hand (the one that was turning the vise) to wear the watch on.

I don't understand these videos. Do people make so much money from YouTube vids that it off-sets the cost of the watch? Or is it a narcissistic need to have a bunch of people watching one do something stupid?

Yes, they can make good money on YouTube. But you got to give people what they want. There are YouTube Tech Stars. Apple exclusive people live in a bubble.
