YouTuber Tests Apple Watch Ultra Durability With a Hammer: Table Breaks Before the Watch

[klasma]

Yep, never understood the point of destroying things just to prove how durable they might be. Apple already did these tests before bringing a product to the market but for some weird reason people still keep doing these videos and I guess there is an audience for that so they monetize from it. I honestly think is a waste of resources and someone would love to have that product. Sad.

Trust, but verify.

Is this covered by Apple Care +? Would love to see the face of the guy at the Genius Bar. 🤨

Depends how many views their channel tends to receive, but users with hundreds of thousands of subscribers can earn 6 figures, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re sent these products for free.

This person has over 7 million subscribers. Based on subscribers and average daily views, it’s estimated he makes about $64/month.

All that work and we still know nothing we couldn't learn from watching a 3 year old with blocks: the first thing people want to do with a magnificent creation is destroy it.

 

[Kabeyun]

C’mon, haters. Hate that!
And you can tell he way praying for the gotcha moment which didn't come.

Obviously it supposed to break. Duh. Idiot

 

[antiprotest]

If I buy hundreds of these and wear them all over my body I'd be invincible.

So if you are caught in one of those traps from movies where the walls are closing in to crush you … the watch will also not survive. Got it

Your watch can withstand a real hammerblow your arm would never be able to. Extreme athletes are no joke.

Do these characters who destroy the products get enough views that it pays for them to do their unscientific tests?

It has 200k views so I would say yes.

Just why

Did you watch the video? That is why

 

[unchecked]

What did we learn? Everything can break. Pointless.

Things are not binary. It's not a 0 or 1. Some things break easier than others. The question it answered is how durable it is before breaking.

And I have to wait until October for mine

No Apple Watches were harmed in the making of this video.

 

[ghanwani]

Just why

You just don’t understand

 

[Arran]

Trust, but verify.

Exactly.

Usually I'd side with the majority here: Pointless clickbait video.

But this video is different because Apple makes specific claims about this product:

Looks tough.​

Because it is (link)​

So a video that verifies Apple's claim by showing it still works after a drop and several hammer blows is really quite useful. It backs up Apple's claim about durability. That's good information for a buyer.

The guy is an idiot! Hopefully his car/bike will die at the right time.

 

[Leon Ze Professional]

Uh-oh are these youtubers really trying to limit Apple Watch Ultra supply?

 

[didaho]

But will it blend?

 

[cardfan]

Ironically, its battery degradation will start killing it from the inside in about 3 years.

Probably used applecare. Unlimited now.

 

[Solomani]

Just why

For social media clicks, views and profit, I guess?


Now, how much will you all pay me, and subscribe to my channel.... since I plan to "test" the Apple Watch Ultra against the most formidable opponent: COVID-19, slayer of millions, and devastator of world economies.


Is the Apple Watch Ultra up to the challenge?!

 

[rileyes]

This article is idiotic. The watch stopped working. What does it matter if this screen didn’t break if the watch is still non functional????

I just don’t understand the purpose of this article or this video. Is it trying to say that if your watch suffers a major blow, it won’t work anymore but at least the screen will still look nice?

Yet, the headline is total clickbait, making it sound like the table was damaged yet the watch was fine.

This article is an embarrassment and im genuinely considering removing MR from my favorites.

Garmin said it measures battery life in "months" and not "hours."

This is why I don't buy an Apple Watch. Sometimes I go up into the mountains, and I'm away from AC power and cell phone coverage for 5 or 6 days. If you are always home and have a charger, then I guess daily charging is not so bad.

Apple has the worst battery life of the major smartwatch brands. Why can't the fix this? Everyone else seems to have fixed this technical issue

 

[SenorWhyMe]

Notice how those silly videos are often done by young men. There’s some kind of masculine fantasy about breaking things.

i can’t believe I just read something so stupid

 

[G.McGilli]

That... is why you buy Applecare+

Hilarious that he'll get it replaced no questions asked.
