A CNet video shows the new Apple Watch Sport undergoing a variety of torture tests in a kitchen setting to see how well it holds up to a variety of abuse.

Previously, video bloggers have subjected the Sport's Ion-X screen and the Sapphire screen to a variety of scratch tests.

The video shows the Apple Watch Sport holds up remarkably well in various scenarios. The watch is washed, submerged in water for 10 minutes, boiled, grated, spilled on, dropped and finally smashed with cast iron skillet. The Apple Watch Sport screen did shatter with the skillet impact, but seemed to remain perfectly functional until that point.

The Apple Watch was officially launched today with pre-order deliveries arriving for the first customers.

that's the new trend these days...waste a sub 1k gadget doing such gimmicks, millions of hits and truckloads of ad revenue.

Last I heard the "bendgate" guy is a millionaire now.
 
She makes me very nervous the way she uses that knife. She seems kind of careless in her review while thinking it's comical.

I mean it's not a bad review, but why not just be serious and treat it like a serious review?
 
CNet's and FoneFox's experiments don't test microphone, speaker, or charging performance after submersing the :apple: Watch in water. These videos are interesting, but incomplete without taking those things into consideration.
 
Did the iPad rumors/articles get this bad when the 1st Gen product came out?
 
So if you ordered your watch at xx:04 and your order is still processing you have these people to thank.

I'm so sorry.
 
They the joy on her face and in her voice as she pours various condiments on top of it made feel like I was watching some weird fetish video. I feel dirty now.

Yeah I was thinking that too. That knife was too close to her fingers for my liking.

I'd be interested to see a similar test with a SS version like mine, as the sapphire screen should in theory be stronger (although may be more prone to shattering in the impact test).

Although I would suggest that the tester is more careful with knives!

I am not too worried about water if you allow the device to dry before turning it on. But the soy sauce with the salt in it for corrosion is what would concern me and the way the syrup would clog up say speaker holes. The only thing that this impressed me with was the display and the band how they resisted scratches and contaminants. But as you and others say this test is more for views than actually being comprehensive.

I thought the same thing. Was worried the Watch was gonna survive better than she was. :D.

Also, who drops their watch in a pot of water and waits 10 minutes to get it out?
