It’s a display if I’m gonna spend almost 900 dollars on something I want to know.

People get real why wait until you buy something to see what might happen.
This actually happens a lot. You will see iPhone model displays and Apple Watch model displays where customers will intentionally try to test the durability by scratching it. Especially for those who are aware that Apple use the sapphire display, they test the durability by doing this, even though they probably shouldn’t, because it’s not fair to the next customer that wants to see the display without being damaged.
Actually, what most don’t know, the Apple Watch displays you see in store, from my understanding, they are not sapphire displays, they are actually an all glass display to make the displays appear to be brighter under store lighting conditions.
Besides I did it lightly it’s not like I did it with all my might

I didn’t scratch the display just the housing. I’m not too worried about the display

I was throwing an iPad like a frisbee across the Apple Store...
ROFL
Look flame me all u want but if I’m plunking down good cash I want to know if it can handle it. Ok smart Alecs, would u test drive a sports car like a little old lady hummmmmmm
To be honest, I did a scratch test on a SBSS as I was sending it back anyway due to another fault (speaker) and I got shot down by people too lol
It doesn't matter what you want to know. It does not give you the right to try and scratch property that doesn't belong to you.
I personally don’t care corporations are here to serve us not the other way around. It’s all built in to how we subsidize them through the write offs they get. Get over it quit bowing down to the god of Apple
[doublepost=1539255206][/doublepost]In fact those who want to flame me. Why don’t you build an altar put an Apple symbol above it and just worship it.
Also just to see how much tech companies really care about YOU. Do a search on how wonderful a city San Francisco is the city where all the tech giants a headquartered.
Let me test drive this car and oh because I live near a tree that I may hit one day let me test what happens when I run into it with said car. To make sure I’ll survive if I do that after I buy it. You don’t have a problem with me doing that right? Didn’t you know this car is owned by a corporation only here on earth to serve me in any way possible regardless of liability laws in place by the country that corporation operates in?
[doublepost=1539255410][/doublepost]By all means use the return policy at will this is something that is in place for a reason and lets you use the product in a real world situation and is outlined in the terms of your purchase. I don’t feel bad about them needing to refurbish a product as a result, but abusing a product just because you feel entitled to is another thing entirely.

From what I read here floor models are entirely different than the actual watch as far as the screen goes.
Don’t be sanctimonious wouldn’t u rather know about a product before you buy it.
To me it’s better than buying a watch to test it out in like manner and sending it back.
Yep! Used a kitchen knife just on the bottom next to the sensor (Series 3), flicked the tip against it and scratched much easier than I would have thought.
Because its pretty common you’ll have a staple or something sharp stuck between your hand and the watch UNDER the watch itself? Wow.
I did it there as it's the same material as the rest of the case and so it wasn't noticeable to Apple. Geez!!!
Sorry my mistake - I thought you took the knife to the sensor itself rather than the stainless steel. Meaning not directly the sensor but the sensor array next to the light emitting components.
No, was testing the DLC coating and didn't want it being too obvious that Apple would pick it up and refuse my return.
Something I do wonder is how chlorine would affect the coating for the black or gold stainless. Any watch experts out there have any ideas on if chlorine will degrade that coating?
