Apple Watch Sport Destroyed in Torture Test Video

Mean while people like me are waiting until June for their apple watch and these jackasses are destroying them for no reason. Really pissing me off. 
Even that seems somewhat pointless. I feel like we need some extended water tests. What about once it's underwater for like 10 hours? Or dipped in water every day for a month straight. Obviously I'm aware we'll have to wait for a while on that one, but that's the real water resistance I care about. Can this be worn in the shower, in the pool, etc.
Celebrating wanton wastefulness for a gag like this always reminds me of how hard we have to work to raise every damn dime of money for food, water, basic medicine, and textbooks for kids.
I know, I started to cringe when I saw that. I was thinking, WTF, you're setting a bad example. Someone's gonna do that and that knife is going to glance off the screen and hack into a finger.

The original idiots.
I work with red hot nickel balls all day long, and am more interested how long different Apple watch models can stand heat. Should I get aluminium, steel or gold model? Probably the steel, because it likely has the highest melting point. But until there's a youtube video comparison of all the three, I can't decide.
The problem with heat is not the watch itself, its the battery. All lithium batteries will be badly affected if you stay all day in heat (over 30 Celcius). Apple doesn't recommend using any Apple device at over 35 Celcius (were you can get quick irreversible damage), but longevity of battery is affected before that. That's will occur with all electronic devices using lithium batteries, not just Apple devices.
You were facetious; but in some jobs, you couldn't wear any smart watch or you'd likely mess it up quick. I worked in a factory in my late teens (made cans of all type, which uses sheet metal) as a summer job and temp there was close to 40 Celcius for 2 months in the summer.
This hurt to watch. Also, did anyone else notice that the screen looked kinda messed up way before the skillet got applied to it?
