I guess the X-Men will be looking elsewhere for smart watches.

Right...people complain about waiting for an Apple Watch like it's a life and death situation and it's a crime of humanity. It's a gadget. If you don't want to be in the waiting camp, wake up earlier and be faster next time. If someone was able to secure an Apple Watch by buying it earlier, they can do the hell whatever they want with it.
I think i would be more concerned with what my arm would look like after being subjected to all this, not the watch.
I just don't get this stuff. Calling it a 'test' is stupid. The whole thing is stupid. Putting aside for a minute the people who who love to have the stuff you're destroying for no reason, this also represents a shameful wasting of materials, many of them rare. It's amazing how far we've fallen in just a generation or two.

It is a shame that some people have so little to do, so much excess money and such destructive tendencies.

I don't mind the useful ones. The frivolously stupid "tests" are the annoying ones.
I'm just waiting for North Korea to detonate one of their nukes on one. The youtube revenue from that would solve their economic woes in one stroke.. After that the only way to top it would be to launch one directly into the Sun
Maybe Apple should do a 2 minute compilation of their own each time they launch a product (and cut out Youtube and the middle men) - blast burn stomp scratch blend drop squash freeze and incinerate

Too many people conduct the most wasteful testing.
The money wasted could have been donated to help those suffering from the Nepal earthquake!
Idiots!!!

That bit about the sapphire glass being more vulnerable to drops than the Ion-strengthened glass is interesting. Most people are not going to drop their watch, as it's secured to their wrist. Many people do drop their phones. If sapphire glass is more brittle and susceptible to breaking than the Ion-strengthened glass or Gorilla Glass, I don't see any chance that Apple would ever use sapphire to cover the LCD of the iPhone.
In America, if you give leftovers to the hungry people and they get sick (from pretty much anything), they will sue your business and the legal costs alone will put you on the street looking for food in the bin.
Here is an example from a few years ago where one stay tried to change that: http://www.telegram.com/article/20120107/NEWS/101079930
Certainly ridiculous that a law like this is even needed.
The "Will it blend?" guy is best.
At least he's original, humorous and honest (there's no hiding the fact he's only doing it to sell blenders)
The rest are a bunch of easy-money jackasses, not worth a click!

Watch. I'm just wondering which high school science teacher gave him a bad grade.It gives me great pain to say that the quality of MacRumors has really plummeted over the past 6 months or so.
I have been reading this blog for years but the recent wave of low quality clickbait "how to" articles and junk like this just makes me sad.

What exactly is "impressive" about a 50 Cal bullet slicing the watch in half? Was anyone expecting something else to happen?
Please, that guy probably makes more money from youtube ad revenue nowadays than he does selling blenders. Which is fine by me because he's honestly entertaining.
I've got that scene from "The Jackal" (Bruce Willis version) where he tests a new gun on Jack Black holding up a cigarette packet in my head now!
