Garmin also has titanium watches with sapphire glass on their high end. I’m ridiculously clumsy with watches, so I got one thinking I’d stand a chance of not breaking it. Now the new problem is, the watch is way harder than anything else I accidentally smack it into, and can break stuff around it instead.
I have the same “issue” on my galaxy watch 5 pro. I can see the dents on walls I accidentally hit, but the watch hasn’t a single scratch.
And being pedantic, it’s not sapphire glass, it’s sapphire crystal. Glass is a wholly different thing. Sapphire glass would be when Apple claims their products have sapphire in them, but in reality they just mix the tiniest amount of sapphire in the glass so they can technically call it sapphire glass, but it doesn’t offer any extra resistance or hardness.
Oh yeah, definitely. I also love the no screen protector life. Last time I had another smart watch, I put on a screen protector and destroyed the first screen protector literally the day I got it. Now I just have small marks on my walls I can clean up with paint way down the line, and need to make sure I have a screen protector on my phone haha.
Going on a long hike with literally every power draining option turned on, I still finished the day with like 65%+ battery. A normal day, again with pretty much every battery draining feature turned on, drains about 10% battery, estimated battery life is about 11 days with that set up. If I turn off the extra GPS antennas and only use the US constellation, and dial down the rest of the tracking a little, it’s easily 18-20 days I think.
My watch is also the power hungry one with an AMOLED screen. You can get closer to 30 day battery life from their Enduro lines I think.

lmao that’s better problem to have no? Rather than breaking an expensive piece of super hitech hardware?

I need that sapphire stuff for my watches to survive my work environment.

How’s the battery life? I have a Pixel watch and I like it but the battery life is kinda bothersome.

Which model is that?
Epix for me, think their Fenix and Enduro lines also have these options
You’re saying it’s a Nokia.
