Always fun to watch a disassembly process. Thanks!

I just don't see myself spending the money for one of these. I'm pretty hard on my watches.

I've already seen pics of shattered Apple Watch screens. Not good.

Two more teardown videos. These guys do it faster than ifixit team does.

i mean... this two videos were a waste of time... I do not own an iwatch, nor will i because it is 350 dollars.... but lets be realistic. Taking a sledgehammer to a watch? Taking a watch to a grinder? Most watches would not even come close to these tests. Except maybe a diving watch...

Lets be realistic here.. the biggest chance of damage is due to dropping the watch, or maybe abrasions while in use. How about show me videos on these areas... areas which are relevant to the actual use of the device... this is like taking a tire, and seeing if it is bulletproof. You do not need to know this information. How does ride on the pavement, it is loud, how is the traction, how does it fare when going over glass/nails/etc.

How does the watch fare when dropping in a bucket of water? how about when swimming in a pool? Is the screen scratch proof? How durable is the wrist strap?

I am sorry for the rant, but these videos are very off-based.

You do understand the point of the videos isn't to be realistic and show how strong the watch is, or promote it in any way? The point of one video is to sell blenders, and the other is just to make money from Youtube on views because people like me will link to it, and they get a penny or fraction thereof for each view. Add that up to a few thousand view, and they make some money even after paying for the watch. The only reason they use the iWatch is to feed off all the marketing, and hype around it.

This is important to me. I gotta know if I can make it home from the grocery store before my ice cream melts.
