Apple Watch 3 sport screen glass

[lonman06]

I haven’t heard much of this. But according to online I am seeing that the screen is now the same in the sport, stainless steal and ceramic?

Is this correct because the only reason I was going to purchase the stainless steal was for the stronger glass.

Yes this is what I saw. Wasn’t sure if this is the same samphire glass from the previous models?

stainless steel models always have had sapphire glass

aluminum (sport) models always have had the ion-x glass.

Same with the new series 3. Nothing has changed in terms of that.
