Just how durable is the new Apple Watch Ultra? I decided to drop it, shake it in nails, and use a hammer on it! FACEBOOK: / techrax TWITTER: / techrax INSTAGRAM: / techrax
@@llllllllllllllllllllllllll4313 If you're buying an $800 watch designed to be beaten up, you're probably buying the $5/mo (or $99 2 yr) AppleCare that will take care of this.
This is the best durability test of an Apple watch. And the presenter is so hilarious! 1) "I don't discriminate when it comes to the hammer test..." 2) He actually hammers it down till it shatters completely and breaks.
Whatever it was sitting on started to crumble before the watch did. Pretty impressive. That is a much more extreme test than you would find in the wild. You could encounter something hard like that, but your body is going to be a lot softer on the other side and absorb some energy.
there’s pretty no motivation for being so surprised, it isunder military parameters and those standards… keep in mind those sportwatches are pretty whole sturdy at the same level, what they say is about: a) battery life, 2 days aren’t enough if you do such extreme sports most of the time (I doubt in Himalaya you can charge them!); b) same cost are sprtwatch with better and more trustworthy sensors, so isn’t even perfect.
“Frosty, Icy, look, I think it’s ready for winter. I think it’s ready for the snow, the blizzard” 🤣🤣🤣 I can’t be the only one who cracked up when he said this.
This really does make me want to get a ultra, I’ve never seen glass so durable or any computer so resilient to blunt force trauma, Im still gonna put put a screen protector on it for the scratch resistant or in case my watch gets hit my a nuke.
Just got mine today and I love it, was difficult to watch you do this to the watch, thanks for doing it though, gives us an idea of how much it can take, surprised the body scratched so quick though
Ah yes, the old Tech Rax hammer of judgement is back once again. The Apple Watch Ultra is truly more durable than any devices that has been to this channel, mindblown 🤯
A a fresh Apple Watch Ultra owner, seeing that kind of abuse really hurts. ;) However, it gives us a perfect indication on how tough this watch really is. Thanks guys!
Damn, it pains me to see that happen to such a watch, especially as I’m picking up mine tomorrow! At least I know it’s durable enough, genuinely impressed! Good job Apple 🍎
@@DRMadeIt Just picked it up now, wasn’t expecting it to be this lightweight. My series 5 felt slightly heavier without bands. Loving the large size, although not as large as I imagined. Wasn’t too keen on the colour during the keynote but in person it looks amazing! Super happy with my purchase, got the Alpine Green Large band.
@@DRMadeIt I got mine yesterday as well. I am very impressed, in 9 hours it used 12% battery and thats with some texts, going through the Watch settings, controlling apple music and using the compass. So far I am extremely happy with mine. My old series 6 that I had for a year would of used at least 60% of its battery even with the battery health at 98% How are you finding yours?
@@UHDGamers-re2xj man I’m loving it. The size is perfect, it’s light asf, and I absolutely love the red clock face. So much I think I’ll keep it like that
just got mine yesterday same band love it glad to see it can withstand some tough hits I work in automotive so I can rest asure it wouldn’t be that fragile
The presentation reminds me of the first few batches of the Apple Watch. They took a page out of the mechanical watch handbook with the packaging and first impressions, and the stainless models (and up) received their own "rounded square" hard cases. I'm the type of tech nerd that keeps the box, and it was always nice to come back to the earlier Apple Watch boxes. My last Apple Watch was a Series 5 in stainless steel, and if I recall correctly, it just came in a very boring, rectangular paperboard package. I probably damaged it while opening it. I probably threw it away.
Idk about you but I’ve never been in a situation while hiking that would put my watch through anything like the box of nails shake tests. Not often picking up rocks with my forearm but maybe I’m doing it wrong 😂
I did enjoy the video but felt bad for watch itself! This is exactly the test I’ve been looking for to seeing. No screen protector needed for me knowing that I ‘m pretty careful with my gadgets and if I happened to drop AWU2 its screen won’t easily crack. Thank you!
This watch wasn’t borrowed from Tim, money made… I don’t think he cares much about that. I’m thinking he might say "oh well, not covered under our manufacture warranty, buy another one" 😂
Wow it’s a lot stronger. I’m guessing a lot of it is due to the flatter display instead of the curved on the regular watch. Wish they had a slightly smaller version, but I understand why they have it in this size.
Чувак, твои видосы великолепны, особенно чувство юмора! Не понимаю людей, которые ставят тебе дизлайки, ведь то что ты делаешь - это просто весело 😂👍👍👍
3:13 - you can see a black line on the display panel. Amazing that the sapphire is totally fine, but the display underneath gets damaged. I'm wondering if that's something you could've taken to Apple to fix still.
Just before the screen goes black you can see the OLED cracked even though the cover glass didn’t. I bet the watch still worked and just the screen didn’t. At least until he completely smashed it.
Damn, you could be right. But honestly, he hammered that thing so hard, I’m convinced that the bunt trauma messed up the internals like the motherboard but I’ve never seen glass so durable in my life.
An OLED can’t crack. The screen in front of an OLED displace can crack. OLEDs are made individual pixels that make the display. This is then covered by the sapphire glass. I had to freeze frame to see what you were referring to. I see the line, but this didn’t come from a cracked screen. The line you see happens when the OLED display becomes defective, or is shorted of some short. The display losses its pixels in that area thus causes a vertical or horizontal line of dead pixels. So, in short, no screen cracked but the internals of this watch were damaged. Source: I used repair TV panels including OLED displays.
They must've actually used sapphire on the front glass to make it stronger. They say they use sapphire on the iPhone camera lenses but then they'll scratch like glass
Same stuff as always. Apple sapphire. That it scratches like glass is absolutely untrue. Though these videos with the scratch pic show it's the same. In reality it's absolutely not. So the videos are just misleading. Though it might not perform the same as a traditional sapphire crystal, in real use the iPhone lenses and premium Apple watches barely ever scratch. Never seen the slightest scratch on a iPhone camera. And I never wear cases. My titanium Apple watch looks like new after 2 years, literally not the slightest scratch on the glass. While my old aluminum watch with normal glass looked absolutely horrendous. And I take less care of my current one because I know it won't scratch.
Must be nice to be loaded with money and bust up a great watch when you touch the power button you need to hold it.I did the exact same test and mine turned on just fine.
