Scratch test of the Apple Watch Sport IonX glass.

[CASEACE79]

When deciding on what watch to get the scratch resistance of the Sport worried me but decided on the Sport anyway. The link is a video of a scratch test on IonX glass that is on the sport. I'm a little less worried as I think it held up pretty well. http://www.idownloadblog.com/2015/04/21/apple-watch-sports-ion-x-glass-scratch-test/

I don't get the surprise... it's effectively the same glass they use on the iPhone. Yes, it's more fragile than sapphire, but you are also paying quite a bit less.

Only thing I was kind of worried about is the watch being exposed to potential bumps and scuffs more often than the phone.

Note to self, don't use sandpaper to clean watch

In his "steel wool" test he isn't actually using steel wool....

Good to see the screen is pretty resiliant though.
