hey what is going on guys long hair from Android Authority and the Moto 360 has been out for a little while now but it's still easily one of the best Android wear smartwatches you can get on the market right now it's really well designed and has fantastic build quality so we're going to put that build quality to the test and see exactly how durable it is we're basically just going to stress the hell out of it and see how well it stacks up so before we get started I just want to go over exactly what it is that I'm going to do to test the durability of the Moto 360 so there's going to be three different tests here and test number one is the water resistancy so we know the Moto 360 is ip67 but we're gonna put it to the test anyways and see exactly how long it can go underwater test number two is the glass with the Moto 360 having that beveled glass it's not quite as protected as some other watches so we're going to see how easy or not so easy it is to scratch the glass on the Moto 360 and finally test number three we're basically just going to wreck the Moto 360 we're going to try to find a weight like a rock or something and just drop it on the Moto 360 and see how well it fares but with that being said let's go ahead and get started with test number one alright so here is my bowl of water and sorry I don't have anything bigger like a fish tank or something so this bowl of water is going to have to do for now and I have an HTC One m8 here to serve as a stopwatch and here is my Moto 360 and as you can see it is in working order it does function and I'm basically just going to put it in the water and I'm going to check up on it every ten minutes or so so let's go ahead just do this and I will be back in about ten minutes all right so it has been 10 minutes so let's see let's check up on it here so there you go it's still working yep still works no surprises there seems to be working just fine the screen lights up and everything so we're going to go another 10 minutes and I will be back again so 20 minutes have passed let's see how the motor 360 is doing all right and there you go it is still working the screen still lights up and everything and I can still interact with it the leather band is extremely wet at this point but you expect it to be but other than that it works perfectly fine I can still interact with the screen if my camera will focus but I'm going to put it in for another 10 minutes and we'll check up on it again so here we go so at this point 30 minutes have elapsed let's go ahead and see how the Moto 360 is holding up all right so the good news is it is still working oh that's good so yeah it still works I can still interact with it still lights up obviously again the leather band is extremely wet now but you know what for good measure I'm going to go and do another ten minutes all right so it is time for the moment of truth it has been 40 minutes let's see if the Moto 360 still works and when yeah there you go the surprisingly it still works it still lights up still functions if only my camera would focus on it but that's okay it still works so that's good news kind of surprising that it is still functioning after all this time obviously it's just really wet and it's going to be interesting to see what this leather band is going to look like once it dries up but as far as the watch itself still functions just fine and so that's good news definitely lasted a lot longer than I expected alright so the Moto 360 has passed the water test with flying colors I actually wasn't expecting it to I was expecting it to crap out after about 30 minutes but it fortunately survived so that's good news but let's go ahead and move on to test number two which is the screen so here's our Moto 360 all nice and wet after the water test and now it's time to test the screen and see if we can scratch it so as you can see in front of me is a really rough looking really beat-up railing and I'm just going to rub the screen up against it and see if I can scratch it so here goes nothing all right let's take a look at it here let me go and clean it off really quick all right I'm going to zoom in for you guys so we can take a look and let's check it out here and I actually don't see anything it still looks really good then clean it off a little bit more but yeah I don't see anything eyes I don't even see light scratches just it's just dirty but right now it still looks pristine I guess that makes sense because this railing is metal and metal is softer than glass so I guess even as rough and beat-up as this railing is it's still not going to scratch it so surprisingly the glass is still in perfect shape even though I just rub the hell out of it on this railing but it's still not scratched at all so let's see if we can scratch it on a rub it on something else to get it to scratch so this is concrete and I'm expecting the motor 360 to not fare anywhere near as well on this concrete as it did with the metal railing but let's go ahead just try it anyways and see what happens all right I think that is enough let's go ahead and check up on it let me go ahead and clean it off really quick here and let's take a look actually I'm going to adjust my camera angle here so we can take a better look at it so here is the glass of the Moto 360 after being scratched up against concrete and as you can see it's pretty beat-up at this point it fared a lot better against the metal railing but I guess you sort of expected that because metal is a lot softer than glass but the concrete pretty much tore up the glass on the Moto 360 here the rest of the watch is fine though the body is still in great shape but the glass is pretty beat up so here's the final test and we're basically just going to drop this brick that I found onto the face of the Moto 360 and see exactly what is going to happen so here goes nothing woo that was crazy who that was crazy alright so my DSLR died on me right in the middle of filming that drop but I just wanted to quickly show you guys the aftermath of the motor 360 and as you see the screen is completely shattered it's not even usable you wouldn't want to use it could you probably cut your finger or something and it doesn't even boot up or anything so it's completely broken but that is going to do it for the durability test for the Moto 360 well that is going to do it guys for this durability test for the Moto 360 I'm not even really sure if there's anything that can be learned from this video except for the fact that you should not drop a brick on your Moto 360 because that's what your moto 360 will become a brick but either way thank you so much for watching and if you enjoyed it give it a thumbs up down below and if you want to see more videos
