What you need to know about the Apple Watch Series 2 in the case of ceramics

It is difficult to judge the success of Apple Watch Edition in 18-carat gold, but Apple chose to abandon them for a new generation Series 2Presented on Wednesday. They were replaced by much more affordable, but no less impressive Apple Watch Edition in the case of ceramics. It should be recognized that this model is able to offer customers something special.

Thus, ceramics - much more durable material than metal. To better understand this, imagine quite a modern MacBook in anodized aluminum. It looks sturdy and reliable, but most end up falling damage to the body. Careless carrying laptop along with other metal objects are guaranteed to lead to scratches.

That is why many fans love to watch pottery. Rado and Rolex uses ceramics with 60-ies of the last century. Even Apple has applied the zirconium ceramics in the first generation of Apple Watch, in a place housing, which connects the magnetic charge. The material is not a conductor and does not create interference for wireless charging device.

Hours of ceramics are very popular, and this phenomenon is easy to explain. Remember how after the start of Apple Watch sales last year, the company complaints began because scratches are easily covered by a steel casing versions hours. The problem is not unique to smart watches Apple, but also for any hours in stainless steel housing: they are easily scratched.

Pottery, in turn, is almost completely resistant to scratches. The material can not be deformed as long as it does not crack. Ceramics, in contrast to aluminum and steel may break. This is typical for hard and rigid materials. Ceramic filled unevenly distributed pores, these air pockets allow it to be easier, but at the same time create weaknesses in its structure.

Tranquility buyers must add the fact that the watch manufacturers usually used zirconia ceramics, which pores are so small that the body simultaneously maintains the basic properties of the material and thus resistant to shocks. Apple has applied on top of aluminum oxide - another well-known form of ceramics. The result was a scratch-resistant material, which in most cases can not be beat. No, this is possible, but it is unlikely someone will face this problem while using the device.
