Apple Watch Ultra screen has a deep scratch after 5 months of use.

I switched to the Ultra because of the sapphire glass and the resistance to scratches. So i thought. Unlike previous mechanical watches i have had with sapphire, i have never had a scratched or broken glass. The new ultra was my solution to eliminating scratches on the Apple Watch. Cost me $99 to replace the watch under warranty with cell provider. Now i am going to have to be careful with this so called rugged watch. I may go back to mechanical watch or get a Garmin. I am disappointed with Apple in their sapphire quality. This is not a cheap watch to have scratched face.

I am also extremely disappointed with the ultra.

Rugged? Extreme conditions ? Sapphire glass?


it fell off my coffee table on the kitchen tile and a crack appeared on the screen.


Apparently, there are extreme conditions in my kitchen …


I don’t have apple care plus as the watch was advertised in clips with folks in extreme conditions or boulder climbing and being a very tough watch…


i just drink coffee on my table and write software. So..


how can Apple possibly ask me to pay 600 euros for a screen repair ? What’s this insanity ?


very disappointing to say the least.


why do you advertise the watch as being made for extreme conditions when a simple fall on tile from the table just cracked it ?


Why? Simple question .
