Thought the back couldn't scratch?

[virginblue4]

These scratches can barely be seen by the eye and even though only when a bright light is shone on them like in the photo.

As you can see in the photo, the sensor covers have scratches on them? I thought this was also made of sapphire so as to not affect the reading. Am I incorrect?

Is this anything to worry about?

EDIT - So I feel stupid now, I wiped the back with my finger and these are actually small strands from the microfibres cloth, not scratches at all!

Notice the part where it says "Ceramic Back"?

Yes thank you, I didn't notice that.

I also read this extract fro, the Apple website:

'Because the back crystal is vital to the function of the technology encased inside Apple Watch and Apple Watch Edition, we chose zirconia, a type of ceramic, as the primary material. It’s nonconductive, so the antenna can perform without any interference from the crystal. It’s also opaque, which eliminates cross-talk between the components of the heart rate sensor. The manufacturing process begins by heating the zirconia at 2640 degrees Fahrenheit for over 30 hours. Once it cools, we incorporate the sapphire lenses of the sensor. Then we polish the entire back crystal with a grinding stone to an incredibly smooth, precise finish — with a surface roughness of just 3 nanometers — so that it feels comfortable next to your skin.'

I misread crystal as being sapphire crystal, my mistake. Still, no need to be condescending

Me too, glad you don't have any scratches
