Please say yes. The primary reason I buy the stainless model right now.
Considering they were showing the aluminum models and saying "crystal" versus "glass" has me hopeful.I’m sure they would have said if this was the case. So….no

They've never at any point described ion-x glass as crystal.they would be screaming it from the apple park rooftop if it were true, "now all watches have scratch proof sapphire glass!" but they didn't. so they probably dont.
but most of my other predictions today were wrong so who knows.

The guy falling off the bike was wearing an aluminum version watch, while talking about the "crystal" They've also never called it sapphire glass btw.

I really like the finish on the aluminum and don't care about aluminum body scratches so much as on the display so i'm really hoping this is true. Midnight Aluminum has my name on it if this is the caseI was thinking the same thing when I watched. If they are not all crystal, they were pretty shady in their presentation.
Oh my expectations are low, it is apple.. upsell galore.The front of a watch is frequently referred to as the "crystal".
We won't know until the specs are published - and maybe not then since Apple's messed that up before - but I personally wouldn't be hopeful on this as you're (IMHO) far more likely to be disappointed. Something like sapphire would likely have been touted as "we've never offered this before on the aluminum watches, aren't we special!!!"
Better to expect ionx glass and then perhaps be pleasantly surprised.
That's some pretty misleading advertising then in Apple's case. They mentioned the new crystal when the guy was wearing an aluminum model.Go to the AR models of the aluminum watches and you’ll see it says Ion-X Glass, like always. They will never never give the Sapphire to the regular watches. That is almost the entire other reason to upgrade besides the nice finishes.

Oh well, Guess i'm going back to Stainless steel Silver
How so? You're the one making the assumption that the reference to the watch crystal implies it's sapphire rather than the conventional meaning of the clear covering over the watch face. c.f. acrylic crystal, mineral crystal, Hardex crystal

I don't know what you're trying to get at here. apple uses the term ion-x glass for those models. Crystal is definitely more marketable so why not call it ion-x crystal?How so?

Do i really need to be a scientist? wow lol
You win.. happy now? i'm just going to be annoyed for a few minutes and then start my count down to preordering another titanium model. lolYou made an accusation of misleading marketing based on them using a common term in a way you didn't understand.
No need to be a scientist to avoid making false accusations, particularly when you'd already been told of the terminology.
Did they use the word “Sapphire”? No, the generic term crystal is not misleading…That's some pretty misleading advertising then in Apple's case. They mentioned the new crystal when the guy was wearing an aluminum model.

Crystal is glass now, lesson learned. GOT ITDid they use the word “Sapphire”? No, the generic term crystal is not misleading…
