I agree. Set the watch flat on concrete and drop a cinder block on it from 10 feet (3 meters) up. Only record the results if the cinder block hit the watch squarely, like a pancake - Not if a corner of the clock hit first.
That's been a big myth going around that "mil spec isn't good," and it's wrong. I don't know who started it. It's most likely someone not familiar with mil spec, or a former mil that had some experience with something that was terrible and was mil spec. Most likely it was someone that heard something on UA-cam, and now they're an expert. One that was floating around was that mil spec ARs aren't the best possible quality and that civilian manufacturers make higher quality ARs. It's partly true, but not that simple. For some things, yeah, mil spec isn't the best, but for most things it's usually better specs than stuff you can readily buy on the civilian market.
MIL-STD-810 is the military standard for testing, not materials. MIL-STD-810G is the newest standard and consists of 15 categories, including freezing, heating, rapid barometric pressure change, submersion, etc.. The shock drop test to secure the MIL-STD-810G standard is thirty times, dropping the item from a height of 1.5 meters (5 feet) onto a sheet of plywood on top of concert. This watch meets MIL-STD-810G standards. I saw another video where a girl froze the T Rex in a block of ice, climbed to the top of a pole, approximately 6 meters high (20 feet), and dropped it onto a pile of rocks... she killed the watch!
Send one to Lauri at Beyond the Press and I'm sure he'll let you know how tough it really is, that would be a great Collab video! Very nice watch and seemingly similar to my galaxy 3, nice upgrade to be honest ;)
I was going to say the same thing. Send one to Lauri at Beyond The Press. He's got that pressure chamber that he's tested other dive, and water resistant watches in. He will put that watches pressure rating to the test!
Thank you for being honest with the sponsorship. I have no problem with UA-camrs taking on sponsorships, but as a long time viewer all I ask is that when you make videos like this, you don’t give them the benefit of the doubt. Personally, I’d be more likely to purchase something you are advertising and testing if you got it to the breaking point. I want to see you blow something up lol. Thanks for the great videos, you’re an A-list content creator!
This is a sponsored video. Take it with a grain of salt. It's $180 for those wondering. Sounds cool, but 1. Does it come in any other styles? and 2. Can it run Crisis? 0:47 - The answer is no. Astronauts don't have wrists. Is this the same watch for each test or did you swap them out?

It has GPS so I can take it anywhere! The watch I have now doesn't come with GPS so I have to leave it at home.
I'm a little bit concerned about the freeze test, doesnt the ice protects the watch from the -43 deggrees? In poland harvesters do this to protect the plants when a freezing night comes, so I dont know if this test is relevant, correct me if im wrong

James: Space as seen by astronauts: Approx -250 to +250 F, or -156 to +121 C, plus A LOT of radiation. The first watch worn on the moon was the Omega Speedmaster. It was the only mechanical watch that passed all of NASA's tests, including 9g shock in three axis (many times). NASA wantned a mechanical watch in case all or most of the electronic timing failed. The Omega was used to time the 14 second burn on Apollo 13 that allowed reentry. You can still buy an Omega Speedmaster! I have one.
Was actually looking at these a few days ago. Looks like gadgetbridge supports them, which is great, but apparently the company was involved in attempts to get gadgetbridge taken down; which is very unfortunate behaviour. Very interested in a device with some of its features; but not interested in buying in to a cloud service; I want a fully local device. So if they see full local usage as problematic, then I see them as problematic.
Maybe compare it to the Xiaomi Mi Band 6. Would be interesting if a 30$ wearable (and the Most popular one) can withstand these extremes too. Or the Amazfit Band 5 it's basically identical to the Xiaomi but the same brand, so maybe they'll send you one.
Hmm honestly I am a bit of a skeptical about this video regarding the watch I don't think the test you did on the watch were clear as to I've seen some weird cut immediately after the liquid nitrogen test as it makes the viewers rethink if this was really a brand video or you actually being a real action lab guy
It is the same watch though. What you saw burning on the watch screen was the oliophobic (idk how you spell it) coating melting away. That's the coating that keeps fingerprints and such from being a major problem on glass-covered screens. The test was to see if the watch was still functioning after being exposed to the heat, which it was.
You should have shown the time on the watch before and after you submerged the watch. The time on the watch was shown twice and it was 12:07 both times.
Just a heads up, thoes Fisher Scientific/control company thermometers you used in this video aren't accurate below about -32~-34C. They are decent up to the 250 they are rated at though.
How can we hear the sound of text sent to that Watch when its in vacuum? Because of the container material ,sound is travelling through them?(from watch to the base of container and then outside)??
u did a vid a week ago and i have a question. there is a scene in gi joe where an underwater fight happens in an underwater base in Antarctica and instead of ice floating up like icebergs, it falls like a piece of a landmass down is it really possible and or maybe it is ICE XII. is ICE XII possible to manifest in nature naturally or can it be done in a laboratory environment ?
@@youtubeistyrannical1787 No, it just went to sleep, it's the same watch, vacuum isn't a big deal for electronics, there is absolutely no reason it would fail. Yes it's an ad, but it didn't fail there.
Before the video I would've said it's too expensive. Now it's a bargain. The specs are pretty unclear though. The straps are 122 and 78 millimeters long respectively, but that doesn't answer the question if it would fit my 195mm wrist. If it's unclear what I'm getting at: you are supposed to wear smartwatches because of the sensors they employ two fingers up your wrist. That's already 22 cm in my case. I have no idea if the holes on the strap accomodate a wrist that size.
I think it will fit, the two straps make a total 200mm and you have to add the size of the watch to that (the lug to lug) which I would guess is about 50mm, maybe a bit more.
@@yurrev And then you have to subtract the buckle, and the distance to the edge from the last hole. And after that I still have to be able to make a fist and bend my fist in any direction without the watch snapping off. It's not as simple as adding this and that together.
@@dominic.h.3363 You're right but we have no way of knowing those measurements on that watch. I just did a rough estimate. Your only way is to try the watch on, and if it doesn't fit, return it or buy a longer strap or make a new hole (I've done it to leather straps with a needle, I think you need to heaten the needle to do it to a silicon strap)
@@yurrev Well, then it's fortunate that I asked under a video where there's an actual owner who could confirm if the inner circumference of the watch is at least equivalent to 22 centimeters before I void my warranty because of the inappropriate size, isn't it? 🙄🤦♂️

I agree. Set the watch flat on concrete and drop a cinder block on it from 10 feet (3 meters) up. Only record the results if the cinder block hit the watch squarely, like a pancake - Not if a corner of the clock hit first.
Of course the cinder block (in this test) would break up in pieces, and the watch would be un damaged “Look at that, Amazing!”
