"According to Consumer Reports, even the Sport model’s Ion-X glass is impressively tough. In Consumer Reports testing, it took a pick with a tip rated at 8 out of 10 on the Mohs scale just to scratch the Sport’s face: “An 8 on the Mohs scale is equivalent to topaz, just one step below sapphire, and it means that it takes quite an abrasive material to scratch Apple’s glass.” Consumer Reports also tried to scratch the Sport’s face with a steel key, to no avail.And the Sport model’s Ion-X glass has at least one advantage over sapphire: According to;tests by the respected Dr. Raymond M. Soneira at DisplayMate, “in the dark both Apple Watch displays appear and perform identically, but in ambient light they appear and perform differently due to the difference in the reflectance of sapphire and glass. For the Apple Watch Sport with Ion-X Glass we measured the Screen Reflectance to be 4.7 percent, while for the Apple Watch with Sapphire we measured 8.2 percent Screen Reflectance… The 74 percent higher Reflectance of the Apple Watch with Sapphire means that its screen will reflect almost twice as much surrounding ambient light as the Apple Watch Sport with Glass.” In other words, in bright light or sunlight, the Sport model’s screen is easier to read." -from http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-smartwatch-iphone/
