What's up guys *random noises*
What's up guys, Lew here, back with another video
And today I've got something that
I think your going to be interested in
If you've been following my channel recently, then you know...
I've done a couple of videos about the
Apple Watch. I did an unboxing of ...
This Apple Watch right here which...
Is the standard version - The Non Sport
Featuring a higher quality...
Or more expensive materials.
But I also did a video before that...
A scratch test on this component...
Here which is the
Glass from the Apple Watch Sport.
It's called Ion X and it's not
Nearly as hard as pure
Sapphire. Apparently, up until
This point, Sapphire Crystals
Have been of a certain shape
And a certain style, for
Many traditional watches.
So I went out and did a little
Bit of my own research, I even went to
A jewelry store and bought a
Watch, so in front of me here, I have a
Teso watch, now I've been told that
Most, if not all Teso
Watches feature Sapphire Crystals
This one, for example, if you
Turn it around and look at the back, you will see
It is branded as stainless steel water resistant sapphire crystal
So a legit 100 percent sapphire crystal on this watch I wanted to compare that
To the sapphire crystal that exists on the
Apple watch maybe Apple was using some unique material
Or some kind of a process to get the Sapphire in the shape that it's
In on the standard Apple watch or maybe
That they weren't necessarily using the kind of sapphire crystal that we're used
Too
This my friends is a diamond tester
This tests the conductivity of various
materials. It's used mostly for evaluating
Jewelry and fine stones like
diamonds hence the name but it actually works perfectly fine on materials like
Sapphire
As well. Mineral glass will have no effect on this scale
When tested when you touch this probe against it
Whereas Sapphire or materials like it, diamond, so on and so forth
which are very conductive materials will have a different type
readout it will go as far as seven or
this scale depending on the sensitivity so this is a definitive test for
determining
whether or not you are dealing with a sapphire crystal
on a watch you have to have your hand on this metallic portion
on the other side up the diamond tester and you also need to be holding
the object that you're testing because it actually your body
that will complete the circuit and allow for the test to be accurate
so in front me here I have various devices I have my phone I have
the Apple watch, the more expensive Apple watch. I have the glass from the Apple
watch sport right here
I have that tea so that I told you I purchased with
actual verified sapphire glass
sapphire crystal, sorry, on the front and then I have Elgg watch
are on the far left so we're gonna go ahead and test all these different
surfaces so we can find out once and for all
if Apple is using legitimate sapphire crystal
in the more expensive Apple watch so I'm gonna go ahead and turn on
diamond selector two. How serious does that sound? Now you will need to set the
sensitivity this is built in
for various sizes of diamond stones that you might be testing
in this case %uh put a relatively low sensitivity on their
It will lead the reacting. You'll see the meter go up the scale
or it won't at all. Let's start with the
G watch R from LG. So you have no reaction here at all
so we know immediately based on this test, that the
conductivity of this material that we are dealing with glass
now we can expect a similar readout from
the iPhone 6 exact same effect
now if I go ahead and test the glass from Apple watch sport
once again glass
No reaction at all. Certainly not sapphire
or any kind of special material. So let's go ahead and move on to the critical stuff
here I've got fifty so watch traditional style watch that I purchased for about
three hundred dollars with a verified
sapphire crystal by touching a you'll see the meter jump
all the way up to the sensitivity setting and I have is presuming
but this is diamond be as it is a really big surface
of material and I have the sensitivity said
for that kind of reaction. Now lastly
we have the Apple watch which many have disputed whether or not
its legitimate traditional
watch dial sapphire because of the shape a bit
and and the unusual manufacturing process that would probably take to make
it
here's the test and what you'll see
is it gets pretty high flashing up to an
8. It becomes obvious that Apple
is certainly using sapphire crystal here
we're seeing something fairly innovative hear from
Apple in their manufacturing process that they were capable
of producing something so unusual in the watch World
a sapphire crystal in this particular shape
with this rounded edge. Believe it or not
the production of sapphire crystals for watch it is a fairly complicated thing
I will drop some links in the description to describe and explain
more
and once you do some reading or little bit of research understand why this is
such an achievement
and why there were so many people doubting that it could actually be that
material,
given the current production methods for sapphire crystal for watches
Alright, guys. I hope that you enjoyed this video, if you did make sure to leave a
thumbs up down below also
share it with your friends. Anybody who's wondering, asking questions
trying to decide between Apple watch sport or
the Apple watch the next step up. I can tell you this is stainless steel in
sapphire just as they say in this is one of the hardest materials on the planet
so it should be incredibly resistant to scratches or at least
as resistant as we could ask, for this is a great material
Alright. Thanks again for watching and I'll catch you in the next episode
later guys
