Whoa whoa it's survived level 7 - that's much improved considering the old model was only at 6 or at least most smartphone glass

Thanks consumer reports! Now I know to get the stainless steel one!

Water proofing test - How about testing it with the diagnostic port exposed?

So series one is safe in the shower? I have always been nervous about that

I would very much like to see a demonstration of the watch as a fitness device. In my experience, the heart rate measurement is accurate as long as it functions, but in many cases (weight lifting, body-weight exercises), the heart rate function fails as with most wrist-worn heart rate monitors. I am sure there are workarounds, such as Bluetooth chest straps.

Both Series 1 & Series 2 of the stainless steel AppleWatch models use the sapphire crystal. Just for the record.
