YouTuber performs durability test on Apple Watch Ultra
The hammer test is performed by TechRax
Apple Watch Ultra is the most rugged watch
Since its release, the Apple Watch Ultra has generated significant buzz. Apple presented three new smartwatches at the launch event for the iPhone 14 series: the Apple Watch Series 8, the second-generation Apple Watch SE, which is reasonably priced, and the Apple Watch Ultra, which is the most durable Apple Watch ever. It is claimed that the Apple Watch Ultra is so durable that it can withstand the most demanding activities that athletes engage in, such as swimming, hiking, running, and everything else.
Now, a YouTuber has put the Apple smartwatch‘s durability to the test. Surprisingly, throughout the test, the Watch Ultra was able to withstand many blows from a hammer.
Apple Watch Ultra: Durability Test
YouTuber TechRax performed the test in three steps, starting with dropping the watch from a height of four meters. It didn’t leave any obvious dings or scratches on the sapphire crystal glass or the watch’s case.
He next attempted to boost the ante by shaking the Watch Ultra ferociously in a box of nails, but to no avail. The Apple Watch Ultra was unharmed in the process.
In the third and last test, TechRax repeatedly pounded the watch with a hammer. The Watch Ultra ultimately broke after several blows. However, before the smart wearable’s screen cracked, the table on which TechRax was conducting these testing collapsed.
Despite receiving repeated hits from a hammer, the Watch Ultra’s screen didn’t break; it just failed to turn on. It is therefore safe to assume that the hardware sustained some damage during the durability test. The Watch Ultra has proven to be the most durable Apple Watch to date by withstanding substantial damage before breaking.
Currently, the Apple Watch Ultra costs $799 in the US and Rs. 89,900 in India. It offers first-in-industry features like emergency Satellite SOS, EN13319 diving certification, and dive computer replacement. However, similar to the iPhone 14 Pro, the Apple Watch Ultra is now being offered in India at a so-called “premium” above MRP because there is a limited supply of stocks from Apple.

Windows 11 will now warn you about entering passwords in an unsecured place
This feature is only available in the latest Windows 11 update
Now your passwords will be much more secure thanks to this new feature called “enhanced phishing protection” that you must activate right now in your Windows 11.
Although the environment that provides us with Windows 11 may be the most popular operating system, the truth is that it never stops adding new features to protect it from cybercriminals. The most recent update comes to protect us from those passwords that we reuse and that we write down in places where we shouldn’t, like Notepad or Excel.
And as a result of the most recent update to the Windows 11 operating system, we will now see a warning each time we enter a password in a location where we shouldn’t, like Notepad or Excel, a practice that is not recommended at all and cybercriminals know that very well.
Additionally, we now have the “enhanced phishing protection” feature thanks to the Windows 11 22H2 upgrade. When users enter their Windows password into unsecure apps or websites, it alerts users. This was primarily made for users who want to save their login information in word processors, text editors, and spreadsheets, but thankfully Windows will now alert us when this happens.
In some cases, an attacker can steal your password simply by entering it into a phishing login form and not submitting it. To combat this behavior, Microsoft introduced a new feature called ‘Enhanced Phishing Protection’ that warns users when they enter their Windows password on a website or enter it into an insecure application.
This new feature is only available in the latest Windows 11 updates and is enabled by default. So, it remains to be seen if it will reach Windows 10 users as well.
