  • A popular YouTuber performed a tautness test on the Apple Watch Ultra.
  • The smartwatch survived a waif on its squatter and a roll in a jar of nails.
  • When tamed with a hammer, the wearable held together plane as the table underneath it cracked.


Apple calls the Watch Ultra its “most rugged and capable smartwatch” ever. The wearable has a titanium specimen that surrounds the sapphire crystal exhibit and is MIL-STD 810 rated, meaning it can withstand upper levels of environmental stress. But all that is just marketing speak until you really put a product through its paces. One YouTuber did just that with the Apple Watch Ultra, and it looks like the device is indeed a tough nut to crack.

TechRax subjected the Apple Watch Ultra to his popular tautness test, where he dropped the smartwatch on its face, put it in a jar of nails, and repeatedly badgered it with a hammer.

The watch survived the waif with just a few scratches on the specimen while the exhibit remained intact. The nails moreover failed to scratch the exhibit of the Apple Watch Ultra. However, the most dramatic tautness test of them all was the hammer beating.

The YouTuber hit the squatter of the Apple Watch Ultra with a hammer using varying wrack-up strengths. It’s impressive to see how the watch took that vibration like a champ. Without several blows, the Apple Watch ultimately cracked, but not surpassing the table on which it was placed tapped first. That’s quite something to watch in the video.

While the Apple Watch Ultra held its own without a number of hammer beatings, it sooner failed to turn on. This probably ways that the exhibit was tough enough, but the device’s internal components did get damaged during the test. Plane so, if you’re spending all that money on the Apple Watch Ultra, rest unpreventable you’ll have a pretty tough wearable on your wrist.
