Gorilla Glass 4 on Sport?

[bnekic]

Do you guys think Apple used Gorilla Glass 4 on the Sport model? If so that would be awesome since GG4 survived 80% of the time against drops onto rough surfaces or objects when tested. So I guess this would help if you bump your watch display on a corner or pretty much anything.

I really wish they would just give you a sapphire option the the Sport!

Apple calls the glass on the sport Ion-X glass.

It the same glass as on the iphone, so not gorilla. The apple watch may be different, but watch glass rarely shatters, it is usually quite protected and the small size/thicker makes it harder to shatter. You should be more worried about scratches from brushing against things.

Hope it's better than the 6 and 6+

iPhone does use Gorilla Glass. Apple just doesn't say so explicitly.

iPhone 6 and 6+ uses ion - X. Those before had older versions of gorilla glass.

What do you think Gorilla Glass is? Apple has never explicitly stated what glass they use, but teardowns have always confirmed it's Gorilla Glass.

iPhone has always used Gorilla Glass even the 6 & 6 Plus. I'm just curious if they went with GG4 on the Sport model.

I'm concerned also, seeing as my Citizen bangs into thing all the time.

As has every iPhone since the original iPhone and all iPads. The Watch will probably be gen 4 but we will probably never know if it's gen 3 though.
